So quietly he left that we scarcely knew, except for the unsung music which choked in our throats . . . music which only his magic touch could release. The ova- tion comes all too late for he does not hear his curtain call. Should he hear and should he return, it would be only to give praise to another. And so it always was with him. After days and nights of rehearsals and weariness, he never thought of himself but turned to acknowledge even the least of the performers. The youth of Riverside has lost one of its sincerest champions ... a constant friend and confidant, a counselor in difficulties. How many times when we were confused or despondent did Pop set us straight and endeavor to right the world lor us. He always had time for our troubles, no matter how rushed he might be, and we could forever depend on his cheery greeting as he crossed the campus, music case in hand. Our director is gone, the baton is still. But there remains in our souls vast, boundless music which he inspired and the memory of a great selfless personality to permeate our lives. That s it, L-o-i-s :f ' - j % ' 1 ' Bottoms up] Aw! Come back 1 Olii UMidXltiXU Did you ever keep a snapshot album? Of course, many ol you have. The Koala is an album, record- ing some of the best years of your hfe. It is impossible to follovs ' all the hurrying feet of the Polyites from morn til night, but many pictures have been taken of classes and of students in their every day campus life. We hope this 1941 Koala will remind you of all the good times you have had at Poly.

Across tlie sea nign scnool boys are bat- tling over Dover; bigb scliool girls, raking the fields of ney mown hay. This is Riverside. It is nestling securely in the arms of the everlasting hills. Will the cataclysm come this way? Can we take it? A. G. Paul X ' arious opportunities are opening up for young people to step out or scnool and into some branch of defensive serv- ice. Choices as to where and how he can serve will need to he made by each individual. I firmly believe that the greatest serv- ice that most youth can render to its nation in these disturbed days is to look at things in perspective and refusing to be distracted by the lure of the immedi- ate task or service go determinedly on to nt themselves through training and edu- cation to serve and to lead. America must have trained minds and skilled hands. You the youth of today must provide them. Prepare! F. L. McEuEN Tomorrow is also a day the old say- ing goes. That tomorrow will find many members of the student body still in high school. It will nnd the members of the graduating class, however, study- ing and working in new situations. Into those new situations, take with you the good habits which you have. — habits of being industrious, reliable, cheerful, and generous -and take with you the valu- able information which you have ac- quired and the useful skills which yoii have developed. All these will serve you well in the future as in the past. May you have good luck and achieve success! Esther E. Brown £eit Jtami ySWfc 2 inectan4. Bai Hi John Crowley Bob Olloman Maurene Fife Tommy BLACKBURf Jf-RRy Coe Barton Hair tonic Huss tried to keep tliis governing body intact by pounding his fist on the table, no gavel. New ideas were inaugurated and many measures were passed in spite of all the filibustering. Mr. John J. Doc Crowley held the reins of this group. He managed, somehow, to get some work from them between occasional games or tick- tack-toe. Bob I object Olloman brought Poly some of the best assemblies in ages despite his objections to the motions of the Commission. Maurene The energetic Fife was kept on her toes by the social activi- ties of the weaker sex. Exchange assemblies, it was stated, produced pleasant results. Tommy Squads right Blackburn kept the gang posted on the ath- letic awards, rallies and dances. Quite a busy fellow, he was. u 9n Go MJienence Jeriy I don t know, I m only the editor Coe, supervised tke Poly Spotlight activities between his various gadding abouts. The white sheet was the outlet of all the problems brought before the Commission. Dorothy Hedda Hopper Wingard was placed at the head of the Koala gang to preserve, if possible, the many memories of the school year. Carol Cash on the line Lowentrout kept the old register in the A. S. B. store ringing a tune. It is still a mystery as to how she kept the records of this group straight. Don Sphinx Lydick, Commissioner of Finance, was quiet about financial affairs but njC complai:n|yVvvas forthcoming from the treasury department. V 1; ' A ..j ' X •J;.

Little students with big ideas and stupendous suggestions, blow them to their respective repre- sentative who in turn, blow them up to the house lor discussion.

Other committeemen were Queen Barbara Free- man, who bestowed honors here and there, and Terrible Don Cost who dealt withering blows to our beloved constitution. Glamour-boy Kay Christensen and the more practical Myron More- land, together with their capable adviser, Carl Gruhn, have made this year a successful one for the Poly Chamber of Commerce. Many of the organization s achievements, however, can be chalked up to vivacious Mildred Petit. ' - ' lA . , •- ' - Sittint Luwentrout. Christian. Nielson. Wendel. Petit. Bartholomew. Jones.

A more active year seemed to be the theme for the social minded coeds of Poly as the girls of the League participated in activity after activity. With petite Maurene Fife as presi- dent of the group, a capable board, and Miss Esther Brown as a guiding hand, many an exciting get-together tooK place. Two great advancements were the building of benches and the laying of brick walks in the Girls League dream garden. I Critical judges Front row — Grandin. Donnelly. McWilliams. Olmstead. Slaughter.

A convention at Redlands, dances and exclusive girl assem- blies composed other entertainments. Most impressive of the year was the candle-light ceremony, the installation or new officers. As this ceremony, in white, is traditional, great care and pride is taken. The gals had their way. Poly was Kept on the move. Sweet swing Ke pAe i i tatiijiei. ol tk J[!.eaa44e OhhIo Qwvo This newly formed group worked hard all year on anything and every- thing concerning the junior class. With Kenny Nolan: the easy-going, well-groomed president, wielding the gavel, meetings came off every other Tuesday. Money matters were taken care of exclusively by treasurer Beverly Helgeson. Minutes of every meeting, bills, etc., were written on y the pencil of Phyllis Ryan, the popular sparkling dancer. The outstanding job of the Termite legislature this year was arrang- ing the Junior-Senior Prom. W ' ' ell known Betty Westfall, who was social chairman of the junior class, organized all the committees (or that affair. Advisers for the body were Mrs. Anne Mills and Mr. Carl Gruhn, same as for the entire junior class. Front row — Weier. Bartholomew. Earl. Ryan, Carter. Back row — Mr. Gruhn. Bascom. Riordan.

Miss Shamel. Duffy. Lockha Breitling. Under the able direction of Miss Carol Shamel and Mr. Robert (Greece) Hallock, the Sophomore Council surpassed the highest expec- tations or everyone including themselves. The lowly Amoebae gave promise of great things in the future. During the first semester the Council was under the leadership of Easy come, easy go Fred Breitling; vice- president, Alvin Pentoney: and secretary-treasurer, Jean Laurence. The Council organized the abounding enthusiasm of the Sophomore class into some semblance of unity, even going so far as to get the R cleaned once or twice. The second semester, the dictatorial powers changed hands and Alvin Pentoney became president; Walter Bott, vice-president; and Jean Laur- ence retained her hold on the luscious job of secretary-treasurer.

PiaiJzln liciMle i AltKougk tKey finished only third in the league, Poly s football team completed, wKat every- one considered a very successful season. Picked to end up in tfie cellar without a single victory. Poly surprised the fans by trouncing Redlands decisively, also beating Santa Ana. and holding the champion Pomona team to their lowest score of the season. The spirit and teamwork were the best seen in a Poly team for years. The line was usually steady and yielded little ground, most opposition yardage being made on trick plays or passes, while the backheld was one of the best Poly has had. The brightest of individual stars was Merle Constable, who brought honor and glory to Poly by being picked on the all-C. B. L. team and on the third string all-Southern California team. Lee Van Roberts, who was all-C. B. L. end in his junior year, was forced out of several games by injuries, and was shoved back to the second string C. B. L. team. Bill Bayless made the tackle spot on the C. B. L. second string, and Azzor Johnigan and Willard Sheldon received honorable mention. Another standout in the line was Warren Shine, who was continually smearing the opposition for MM Ikai Jiin ! losses: Jim Sweany and PKil Delano, Bear guards, were usually found at the bottom of the pile; and holding the middle of the line against all assaults was Don 1 hompson, sterling center. The two unsung heroes of the hackfield were Bob Holly and Don Lowe. Holly s blocking and tackling featured many games, while Lowe earned the title of the toughest little guy in the league. Other outstanding players were Max Pickarts. Don ' ogt, and Grover Sinsley in the line, and Tom Nolan and Jimmy Wilson in the backfield. HIGHLIGHTS FROM EACH GAME Fullerton 15, Riverside 12. The savage tackling of Roberts and Johnigan featured the game. Fullerton scored first, followed closely by a Riverside score. A pass from Roberts to Johnigan put Riverside in front, but hard-running McPherson and Bollard for Fullerton finally sunk the Bears. Blocking traffic Struttin V w - Take im out i - r i .

Corona went ahead briefly on an intercepted pass and 70 yard run, l)ut the Poly Bears grabbed back the lead on an end-around touch- down by Lee Van Roberts. Chaffey 18, Riverside 14. Poly opened the game with a bang, scoring first on Constable s 79 yard run. Sheldon set up the ne.xt touchdown with a 70 yard run to the four yard line, from where Constable passed to Johnigan for the score. From then on, though, it was all Chaffey, with Standlea leading the parade. Redlands 6, Riverside 18. The Bears played their best game of the season, pushing f edlands all over the held. Constable ran wild, making 180 yards. o iwand PaU Santa Ana o. Riverside 6. Early in tne game, Bayless and Lowe blocked a Santa Ana kick on the 14-yard line. From there Constable scored. Roem, Gully, and Roussos were the stars for Santa Ana. San Bernardino 7, Riverside o. Poly lost all chances or the championship with this defeat. The Cardinals displayed a tricky offense, and scored late in the first half. Constable was the standout for Riverside, and Parmerlee for San Bernardino. Pomona 6, Riverside o. The lines of both schools dug in and stopped Poly s Con- stable and Pomona s Keckley. Pomona hnally clicked through the air and scored on a pass— the only score of the game, and the lowest score to which Pomona had been held during the season.

Aifioewi In Mole Jzln The Bearlets completed a brilliant season by winning the C. B. L. crown, and bringing River- side its only major sport championship or the year. 1 heir only dereat was a nuke upset by oanta Ana. Except for that game, their defense was practically flawless -only Santa Ana was able to cross their goal more than once. On offense the big line was fast and hard charging, opening up big holes for the speedy backfield men. In the line, end Marvin DeMille played exceptionally well; the tackling and blocking of Ed Atencio was an important factor in many games; and big boy Roy Hibbard was a bulwark on defense. Leading the backfield men were Quention Sims and Bruce Wilson. Sims dazzled the opponents with his sparkling runs and passes, and the reverse to Wilson never failed to gain. Redlands 6, Riverside 25. Bruce Wilson ran wild in the first quarter and scored three touch- downs before Redlands realized what had happened. The Bearlets scored again late in the game gifted Sco te on a 65 yard pass and run from Sims to DeMille. Redlands lone score came against the reserves. San Bernardino o. Riverside 6. The Bearlets grabbed the lead when Wilson went around end to tne one yard line, and Dick Smith sneaked over. The passing and running 01 Sims featured the drive. San Bernardino had only one opportunity, and failed to score on that. Santa Ana 20, Riverside o. Over-confidence cost Riverside their first and only defeat of the season. Up to the last quarter it was an even game, but then the Sophs fell apart. Pomona 7, Riverside 32. A tricky reverse on the kickoff from Sims to Wilson gave Riverside the lead. The game then turned into a rout, with Pomona having no chance whatever. Chaffey o. Riverside 18. A slashing tackle by Ed Atencio, resulting in a Chaffey fumble, set up the first touchdown. Riverside recovered and Sims scored from the five yard line. From then on. it was all Riverside. Look out below Souvenirs Just made it Makes vou dizzv. doesn t it? Drop iin Determination AU-MiaJiiu Jletie unen Poly s basketball team completed tne most disastrous season in tne nistory ol the sport. Not only did tliey wind up in the C. B. L. cellar, but tney made it decisive by going through the season without a single C. B. L. victory. In several oi the games, it seemed that the Bears were destined to win, but they always reverted to form and lost in the last few minutes. Yet they weren t as bad as their record indicates. Of their last four games, three were lost by a margin of five points or less. Despite their poor showing, the team was full of fight and spirit to the end. Leading the Bears were Captain Mort Doris, Jim Clapp, and Bob Dent. Dent had a fifteen point scoring spree against Chaffey, and grabbed second place in the C. B. L. scoring race. Clapp also finished in the first ten high scorers. Other players invaluable to the team were McCarrolI, Neson, Bayless, Pendergrass, Wilson, Yeager, and Paxson. Front row— Fraley, Sedwell, Bascom.

If the Bearlets had found themselves earlier, they might easily have walked off with the championship. As it was, they wound up near the top of the heap. Quentin Sims was hampered by illness in the first few games, but when he returned to form. Riverside was unbeatable. As a finale, Sims scored 25 points against Pomona, setting a new Sophie record for one game. He also won the sophomore C. B. L. scoring race, making fifty points more than his nearest rival. DeMille, Wilson, Pentoney, and Rob- SapJue SUtAe bins completed tKe squad. All played brilliantly and in the last four games, especially, the team was exceptional. With the addition or the sophomores to the present juniors, the team for next year shows promise of bringing Riverside its first basketball championship in many years.

Bayless shattered the fifteen year old shot put record by pushing the iron ball 51 feet, 8% inches. Bruce XA ' ilson likewise broke the Sophomore shot put record by heaving the lighter ball 55 feet. RIVERSIDE vs. REDLANDS In their first meet, the varsity defeated Redlands, 86-17, Ullom winning both dashes. RIVERSIDE vs. CHAFFEY The Bears bowed to a strong Tiger team, 54-49. Fred Soria and Kenneth Bowyer turned in their usual fine performances in the 880 and mile.

Along with these, such boys as Chapman, Doss, Marr, Rangle, and Aldama can be coimted on for points next year. C. B. L. FINALS The finals of the all-C. B. L. championship track and field events held at Redlands, found Santa Ana winning with Chaffey, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Redlands finishing in that order. As for the Bears, they could do no better than place Max Ullom second in both dashes, Clark second in the 440, and De Mille a close third in the 440. McCarroll levitates i JH.0 2 €d idHce — Poly was again deieated in cross country by San Bernardino and Red- lands, out managed to beat out Santa Ana lor third place. For tne first time in years, Redlands failed to win tne cnam- pionsnip. San Bernardino s powerful team, paced by Cecil Flores and tke two Valdez brotliers. won the meet by taking first, second, third, sixth, and seventh. Captain Bob Renck of the Bears finished eighth, Frank Aldama tenth, Tony German eleventh, Robert Magna seventeenth, and Alphonso Cacho nineteenth. In the C. I. F. meet at Long Beach. Renck took twelfth, German fif- teenth, Sandoval sixteenth, Aldama eighteenth, and Cacho twentieth. Since the only member of the team to graduate is Tony German, River- side appears to have a fine chance to move up to second place next year. — possibly first.

They played their first games with Corona, Camp Haan and Jaycee. They opened the league with a victory over Redlands, 7-5; and lost to the Red Devils, 3-1 : due to a bad decision. The Poly nine were still in the running tor C. B. L. champs. Tom Nolan, last year s next to the best pitcher, proved himself superior, even under pressure. Bob Renck and Wayne Frazer also were in there pitching for the team s success. Polys sensational slugger, Bruce Wilson, hit at least once in every game played and Knocked several beautiful home-runs. The Bear line-up consisted of catcher Max Pickarts, first baseman Wayne Pender- grass, second base Quentin Sims and Billy Nel.son, and short-stop Bob Drake, the clever- est short a team might have, and Bruce Wilson tagging third. Outfielders Merle Fraley in center, with Bob Nordyke subbing, Tony Citeralla in right with Lloyd Judin subbing, and Marvin De Mille in left, with Vernon Ditchey subbing. Other prospects that surely look good for next year are: Frank Miller, Royal French, Patchy Atencia, and Jack Robin. What a stride! --i   sa The team had all-around strength and the majority oi the players were Juniors and Sophomores and the team should be at its peak next year. Lettermen were: Max Pickarts, Tom Nolan, Bob Drake, Wayne Pender- grass, Quentin Sims, Bruce Wilson, Marvin De Mille, Merle Fraley, Tony Citar- ella. Bill Skotty, Vernon Ditchey, Bob Renck, and managers Manuel Silvas and Louis W ' ' ickens. Lefty Nolan Here it comes! Rignt liere It ' s a hit! Wmf. ' ?, GXXiM e ee i. Two seniors, five juniors, and four sopkomores made up tnis year s tennis team. Dick Nelson was first singles. Bigelow was at second, Captain Fyffe at tkird, Hess fourtk, and McDowell fiftli. At first doubles were Herbert Drake and Donald Holmes, and the second doubles team was Bob Casey and Eugene Yeager. Tbe team was well-balanced, and sbowed power in defeating Redlands 7 to 4, and Pomona 10 to 1. At tbe balfway mark, tbe Bears were in a first place tie with Santa Ana, and were given an even chance to take the crown. Foot fault After it! Tip-toe smasli So there! - -c .

Lettermen returning lor service this year were Mort Dorris and Dick Troth in the sprints. Ken Farnsworth in the distances, and Don Twogood in the back-stroKe and diving. Twogood will be the only one to return for action next year. The first meet of the year was held with Santa Ana, with the local squad ending up on the short end of the score, 45-38. In the next meet, the Bears met a potentially strong squad from Riverside J. C, and this time they were successful to the tune of 43-37- The third meet was held at Redlands and again the local lads were scuttled by an overwhelm- ing score of 49-26, but this was better than expected due to the fact that the Terriers are the defending league champs. A new plan was put into effect, whereby the sophomores swam in a division of their own. Previously they were entered in varsity competition and it was olten difficult for them to make a good showing as they could against other sophomores. Last year the Bears finished in second place behind Redlands in the C. B. L. meet. The final score read: Redlands 92, Riverside 25, and Chaffey 13. The 1941 meet is yet to be held with the local squad probably installed as favorites to finish behind Redlands in second place. I I eftufiiH aaciel Ut §p If you don t want to lead tKe life of Riley, just take up coacning as your life work. Not only do you Kave to put tfie students through tfie paces but demonstrate Iiow some of the exercises are to be done. By the time you have four or five classes a day you re worn to a frazzle. Teaching is a difficult job, and one must be a student of psychology to to out-smart some of the feminine problem children. But, being a physical education instructor has its lighter moments. Meaning, reading a few of the very humorous excuses that the girls use for not playing during gym. For example: sore toe, pain in my side, sore tooth, charley horses, the sun s too hot. etc. Yes, all three of our gym instructors have a good laugh when they look over these feeble excuses. Sports are not the only subjects these instructors teach. Many of the girls were fortunate enough to learn the tango, rumba, and other steps of modern dancing. So if you re in the market for some guidance, girls, go down to the gym, and 1 m sure Miss Ketcham will stop writing her clever poems for G. A. A., or Miss Tefft will quit speaking Spanish, or Mrs. Hartwell will even drop a stitch in order to solve your problems. Dodge her. . . . Bully. . . . Socko! no4H tlie SiojellHj i Bully! This is what my surprised ears picked up as 1 ran across the hockey held. I asked Marg Hoffman, who was calling who a bully. She tried gallantly to hide a wide grin, and explained that a bully was a method of putting the ball in play after rolling over the end lines. Oh, well, live and learn 1 always say. Anyway, I could see that this game was going to be a fascinating sport. I watched in amazement as Marie Laws biffed the volleyball over the net with surprising ease from the third line. I thought to myself. It s all in the way you do it. but 1 guess Im destined to be only a good watcher. Oh well, I can dream, can t 1? But just then the ball came straight towards me and because I was dreaming, 1 missed the ball. Jd Ur Ad Old Tennis lured a bevy of young misses up on the courts. I nappened to stagger up just in time to see Frances Ford ' s first serve go splasn into a mud puddle. The cfieerfui, brigKt faces were becoming more determined as the cries, Deuce, Ad in, and Ad out could be beard as the game pro- gressed. Swisbl I ducked as the shuttlecock skimmed over the top of my bead. 1 turned and pretended to be mad at Pauline Kiecb. ' Say, take it easy, will you? That one parted my hair. She laughed guiltily and resumed her deft game of badminton. This sport is becoming more and more im- portant in the after-school activities of Poly. From here I wandered out- doors to watch a group of excited gals trying to ring one another s arms with what gave the impression of being a miniature tire. 1 soon learned that this intriguing sport is called deck tennis. Presently, however, shouts of ' It s a ringer, and Yippee, drew my attention over to the new horseshoe and croquet courts. Now here are two sports that are grand. Just toss a few horseshoes at the stake or try a difficult shot through a wicket without prac- ticing and see how close you get to your objective. Get it, Ruth! lilMli e Make that basket; guard your girl, were the familiar yells tkat I neard as I stepped into tne gym. Ginnia Drake and Babe Dablgren pivoted, passed and dribbled in f J ' mHmUJ IS IJ BiHjjHf I ' 9 an effort to gain their f : way round the seniors, who kept them hop- ping. Curlyhaired Ruthie Rogers led the senior class forth to high honors. Miss Ketcham kept watch with an eagle eye, letting no fouls get by her. The ball came whizzing down to the plate and Dorothy Johnson uncorked a mighty wallop that sent the baseball whistling over the left fielder s head. She ran the bases like a frightened rabbit and came to a panting halt in front of the players bench. Her face was flushed as she proudly told me that this had been her first home run of the year. Ow! Hey, be careful! You ve got my shins looking like a couple of splinters already. With that brief summary of her feelings, Margaret Haines charged down the speedball field just in time to break up a passing attack and make a long high, lazy kick that put her opponents on defense, deep in their own territory.

Instead or the usual three companies, enrollment swelled to four com- panies of future generals. As we trip merrily through the years we shall expect to see great things from our R. O. T. C. men who will undoubtedly join our military forces throughout the world. Who knows what the future will tide? Manikul Mui4C4 i i4. After looking over those four straggling companies one notices little men walking u|) and down with signs written in pig Latin and Esperanto. These odd gentlemen are on strike for tetter marching conditions. They hope they see the day when the manual of arms is a book on the care of the hands, wrists, and elbows. They should live so long! These schlemiels believe that what the army needs is a rifle that is made of some extremely light material (not to exceed two pounds) that is also a portable radio, folding cot, fingernail file, and shoe horn. There has been much discussion by our sophomore cadets about sergeants in general and some of the things that they say (which can be printed) are that the chief function of a sergeant should be to go around his squad and make sure that every man is happy and comfortable in his new uniform, which under these Utopian conditions would be fleece lined, English drape models with zippers instead of buttons. The sergeant should then run up and down the column poste haste and polish every one of his men s buttons and shoes and finish up by saying a kind word to each of his proteges. But enough of this theology, what about the facts? Well to put it subtley the first thing the juniors do when let loose with a pack of sophomores, is to separately disassemble the poor yard Morton.

This type of work teaches the men mechanical aptitude and a few assorted nasty words. The big laugh comes when they are in close order drill and two or three squads are rapidly approaching each other. The leaders of the squads being a group relating to each other weird experiences, the squads usually collide. This is what the military men call a platoon. Other names could be given it and probably have, but they all are futile from the onlooker s viewpoint. One of the highlights of the year is when Captain Palmer instructs the unit on field work. his is supposed to instigate ingenuity in the minds of the men. In fact one time when a patrol was sent out to reconnoitre Terracina they didn t come back until the next day. When questioned on this, the yard bird attached to the detail said their instructions were to head in a southerly direc- tion and capture the machine gun nest. He added that it was a dirty trick to send them out on such a mission because they walked for six hours down Magnolia, ended up in Corona, and still didn t see any machine gun, and that he thought it was just a lot of hocus-pokus. I o pep up these long-suffering heroes a large and sundry number of rattles, horns, and general noise makers are collected into what is called a band. Dressed in khaki, this is known as a military band; with a few girls added to improve the music, and dressed in those wonderful new uniforms it is known as the Poly Band. To director Oaks goes a D. S. C. for two mobile musical groups which are really good from top to toe -yeah, even from the tops of the beautiful hats. bs ' ' % ' Holland, Heaslet. Murray, Mantonya, Cosman, Herring, Ringston. R.

David Bell is the president of the class of .ji. David is thereby a Senior. He has unruly kinky brown hair, a II after his name, and a 37 V-8. By that token, David is a personality. Taking his cue from Senior class presidents of the past, David has lived up to the tradition set for him. He presided at the Senior assembly. That s all, brother. Next, Bob Drake enters the picture. No one denies that Bob is a personality. The big problem is convincing people that he s a Senior. His actions wouldn t be so hard to overlook if he d only climb out of that hole he walks around in. The thing is, aside from their dignity the only way people have of telling Seniors from Sophomores is size. Shucks, using the Girls League garden pool for diving isn t illegal or anything, but you know how folks talk. Even if Maurene Fife weren t Commissioner of Girls Welfare and president of the Girls League, she d still be a Senior personality. Her sparkling eyes, vivacious smile, her a-er-oh, gnats! Ask Tommy Black- burn. He can rave by the hour. Lilas Doherty is the social chairman of the class of 41. Take a play . . . any play, except the Junior production. Now, look at the cast. There is Lilas name right at the top, somewhere. Well, what s wrong with that? If you had as many brothers and sisters as she has, you d be good at acting, too. They re all younger, and naturally people are inclined to accept the statements of an older person as the truth rather than those of his (or her) little sisters. Heck, it was an old piggy bank, and what ' s eighty-five cents to a six-year-old? They say good things come in little packages. The lit . . . stop think- ing that! This little package went to market. . . . Oh, that s wrong . . . This little package is IMary Marmon. Mary was the head baton twirler for the band this year. Wonder if she can handle a broom as she does that baton. Oh, if she could only cook. Going from the infinitesimal to the gargantuan, to counterfeit a phrase, we take up Big Bill Bayless. Bill s the . . . what? All right, so there aren t enough of us to take him up. So we could get a crane, couldn ' t we? Okay, let it drop. No, not Bill. We haven t even taken him up yet. To continue. Bill s the boy that broke all the shot-put records this year. If only everybody wouldn t shout. Oh, brother, yoti might say that he s the brawn trust. Bill s one football player who doesn t go out of date with turkey and cranberries. Before we climb down from surveying Bill, there s another personality we can t afford to miss. Whether or not he s a Senior no one seems to know, though. Anyway, he s eligible for the Hays Pension. That s Tiny Lowe. John has been here for so long, he remembers when those pictures in the halls of the Classics building were new. Well, to end this gracefully. . . . Say, who s that walking across the campus there? Only a Sophomore, huh? Phooey to Seniors, they II all be gone next year. 0{44i4O an tUe Soi I ermites at work EuGE Y ENE I EAGER Still laughing to think of the way they kicked back when downtrodden by upper-classmen are the iiilanious Termites. Eugene Yeager, always president or something or other, served another successful term in coordin- ation with Mrs. Anne Mills and Mr. Carl Gruhn. Bob Stebbins, the boy with that intriguing waddle, backed Yeager up with the impressive name, vice- president of the Junior class. Smiling Lois Bartholo- mew kept a careful eye on the minutes and the bank book. Society affairs came under the jurisdiction of dark haired Betty Westfall. Boys and girls sports were managed by Max Pickarts and Pauline Kiech. Active W ilda Nielson saw to it that talkers were given something to talk about as debate manager. During the year juniors were active in drama, sales cami aigiis, and every other school activity. The offices of the Poly Chamber of Commerce were com- pletely filled with juniors. Advertising and selling for plays, the circus, and Koala was carried on extensively by enthusiastic Termites.

No dances or Sophomore events broke the blissful monotony of the lackadaisical influence of Sophomore tradition. The one bright spot of the Sophie calendar was the slapstick assembly headed by those masters of silly tomfoolery, Elaine Holston and Bob Stahl, the aforementioned master- piece laying the audience in the aisles most of the time. As part of his supporting cast in class government Bob Stahl had capable Rawlin Asbury as vice-president, Lois Sims as secretary-treasurer, and Debutante Helen Icely as social chairman. Of course no one wins an argument against a sophie with voluble Bob Casey filling the shoes of debate manager. The over-exuberance of the Amoebae was taken out of them in athletic activity arranged by boys athletic manager Ed Bonnett, and girls athletic manager Betty Benton. The unwonted task of directing the destinies of the innocent (?) year- lings was the lot of Miss Carol Shamel and Mr. Robert Hallock. Nelson, Asbury, Mc Andrews. Robinson, Pitts, Curry. Pappas, Wood.

Talking about pop reminds one of the sound of flash bulbs used by those candid fiends Bobs Bookout, Blannin, and Joe Maddocks. What a book the Koala would be without the many pics to help tell the story. And what pictures. Everyone had to be on his toes or pictures would be taken of him when he least expected it and what expressions on the maps. See that stack of prints over there? W ell, Thelma Davis, Eleanor Rix and others are busy get- ting them identified and mounted. That s really a job, thousands of faces and what a conglomer- ation of names. No one envies them. Oh those names and new ideas. That was what faced the copy writers. Richard Bieser composed the three masterpieces for the main divisions.

Vhat was that other whiz? Oh that was the ever-treating Cizzle E. Stalder and he is probably after the editor to see what hasn t been done.

Despite the conversation and pavement pounding done by the staff members, busi- ness manager Harbach was driven to the verge of teeth-gnashing in his efforts to raise the advertising income. With a little self- imposed punishment and the roars of Mr. Stalder, Wendell was drawn from his drawing board and milk shakes to the nasty business of adding dollars and cents. Really doing the hgure work and bringing order out of chaos, Marian Takeda kept such a neat set of records that for the first time in history we knevs ' how many books had been sold, borrowed or stolen. Bob Squeak Matheson did his share of pavement shufflng as advertising manager. He incidentally acquired a dejected look from the many refusals to his high-powered sales talk.

The main obstacle to staff work was the furniture. Even the hardest chair was a cushion of down after an afternoon of asphalt skating. Teeth marks still show where recalcitrant members strove to retain their holds on these symbols of ease as Slavedriver Stalder lashed them to a last over-the-top ' effort to meet the budget boogie.

And over there is the assistant editor, LeRoy Bates, at his desk. Well, it isn t his desk. It really is the editor s, but you know how these modern youth get ideas from Europe. Now, here is the news editor, Virginia Hen- dricks. Say Hello to the nice people, Virginia. (She s our official yes-woman. Besides assigning all the stories, she keeps the peace by yessing every- one. That s her job.) You see, the journalism classes are the reporters, and Virginia tells them what stories are breaking, and about how long the write-ups should be. Right after one issue she puts a list of all the reporters, and the stories they should write on the bulle- tin board. No, not write on the bulletin board, list on the bulletin board. She writes the majority of the heads on make-up night, too. That drawer marked cir . . . Hey, come back, that was only F. Wayne Coons, the faculty adviser. You can come out from under the table, now. He really won t bite. He comes and goes like that all the time. Nevertheless, that drawer marked circulation is the abode of Ralph Hiett, our circulation manager (exchange editor). Okay, so you know Ralph and he won t fit in the drawer. He keeps his circulation list there, though, and he and his department disturb the fourth period journalism students by wrapping the exchanges here in the back room. Ralph s the boy who puts those signs up every other Thursday. Manuel Silvas is his assistant. Manuel holds the signs. Another important branch of the publication is the business department. Don Brower and Dick Ingham take care of the mercenary side of the pic- MacPhail, Haywood, Jones, Hendiii ks. Hiett, Kimball, Philbronk, I ' enrod, Blackburn, Fife ture. Tliose guys surely take a beating, too. First the editor jumps on em and says, Get a liundred inckes. ' Next, Mr. Coons instructs tKem not to come back with more tKan eighty. They tactfully convince the townspeople that they should advertise, and then return to receive the rebuffs of everyone from the editor down to the Hnancial adviser. After Moneybags (Young, to you) sees to it that we have enough ads, his stooges, Harold Tweddle and Stuart, go out and try to collect the shekels. The money men do more work than everyone else except the print shop, or as they prefer, the composing room. N. O. Moore is the one to see when you want the head man, but H. N. Hammond and Ray Deiss have charge of the typography of the Spotlight. Talk about your long suffer- ing lads, you aint seen nothin ' until you ' ve watched them spend hours overtime on make-up. No, not lip rouge, make-up is the general set-up of the paper. They feel that they must cater to our every whim and do we ever take advantage of it (they say) . While P v iA, PoieditcJ AU tk J leuM. d to. PUid our reporters write the stories, and tne editorial staff pastes them on the dummy, a sheet just the size of the paper, to guide the print sliop in their labors, the burden of work falls on the printers, that is the compositors. Excuse it please, Mr. Ham- mond. They have to set all our words in type, and arrange them to form the printed pag e. Just inside that door is the journalism room. That s where classes are held. No! Don ' t open it. You re liable to get hit with a spit-wad or an eraser or something. The students in there, three classes of them, write the stories that are published in the Spotlight. While we re there, we might as well trace a story from the time it is assigned till it appears in print. Climb up here on the desk, and you can see through the window into room 23. Back there on the bulletin board where you see those funny cartoons, Virginia posts an assignment sheet. On that sheet is a nota- tion telling Joe Pupil to turn in a write-up of the archery club. The write-up, she informs him in a few well-chosen sentences, should contain about 200 words, in- f PhILBROOK, MacPhAIL, SlLVAS, HlETT H TwEC trodnce the officers and describe tne activities of tfie club. She suggests sources of information, and people to see to make his task easier and his story more interesting. After Joe hands in his story, it goes to the copy-reader. Here it is corrected and revised. The typist takes Joe s effort next, and makes it ready for the print shop. Here s where Mr. Coons plays an important part. Every bit of copy that goes to the print shop must have his O. K.— f . W. C. on it. This means that he has to spend most of his time censoring and O. K. ing. The reason for such a stipulation is that once a joke was submitted. Mr. Coons passed it, the editor passed it, even the print shop didn ' t find anything amiss. But when, about a week later, the mail was sorted over, a rather caustic letter informed the Spotlight that the joke was unfit to print, and set about to point out just how bad it was. Strangely enough, the letter was written not by a student, but by an indignant parent. Oh well, it serves to explain why Mr. Coons job is such a trying and tedious one. At last the archery club s write-up is ready to go to the print shop. 1 here are two linotypes there, and on them the stories are set up in type. Proofs of these columns of stories, or galleys, as they are called, are arranged on the dummy and the dummy is returned to the print shop, where Joe s epic is put in its proper place, and the paper is put to bed. W ell, that s about all there is of interest around here. Didn t mean to take up so much time. . . . Hey! Cut it out, you guys. All right so the sports department wasn t mentioned. 1 hat was Bob MacPhail and his henchmen. They write those breezy accounts of Poly s triumphs on the field of battle. Uh! Oh! Here they come again. Hate to rush off like this, but come in some time when you have more time. Spxdlu (yid to L4f. Emery. Linn. Hoffman. Lilley. Bush, Johnson. Gates, Olmstead. Gold. Uppenkamii.

The Booklovers Club was formed during ihe scnool year 1928-29. It composes in membership all students entered upon the roll of English IV. The object of the club is to broaden the school course by the arousing of interest in outside reading and in creative writing. A class period once a month is devoted to club meetings. 1 his year, club programs have been given as usual by generous and interesting guest speakers. The first three issues of the Booklovers Annual have been the proud winners of first place among special literary publications of the Southern California High School Press Association. Officers for the year were: section presidents: Eleanor Wells, Marjorie Hoffman, Gerald Yensel, Tom Nolan, Marillyn Mangel. Vice-presidents: Dana Richards. James Snodgrass, Robert Paul. Betty Shepherd, Bonnie Snow. Secretary-treasurers: Dorothy Johnson, Lois Olmstead, Madalyn McWilliams, Dorothy Dunbar, N ' irginia Burgess. Program chairmen: Dorothy Hansen, Ben Herbert.

Snjoo-pje tj VO_rt With such names as The Dirty 1 hirty, Droopy Snoopers, and I he Deadline Dopes, the three joiirnaMsm classes composed the Press Club. Speakers on journalistic careers, personalities, and travel were secured to give the reporters a chance to report the various talks and to see their efforts in print. During the year. Cubs interviewed local personalities as well as celebrities and with the finished product in the Spotlight, many a prom- ising journalist was discovered. Although some of the material was ques- tioned as to the source, it was doubtful that the old keyhole method had been used. Journalistic conventions were attended by several groups and well known reporters and columnists were heard, who by the way, gave these potential press workers many a helpful hint. Such outstanding person- alities as Bill Henry, Lee Shippey, and others of renown were presented at these conferences. You can readily see that the Press Club had an active year. Officers for the year were presidents: David Bell, Dorothy Wingard, Merle Constable. Vice-presidents: Robert Moore, V. L. Bates, Phyllis Philbrook. Secretaries: Maurene Fife, Frances McGregor. Cecelia Mulkey. Treasurers: Dick Troth, George Linthicum, W endell Garrett. ' ' i ,_• Social chairmen: Jean Hendrlcksen, Tom Blackburn, Eveyin Lyons, ' i Bob Vaughn, Phil Delano, Betty Orton.

Fair-liaired Thelma Davis held down the positions of vice-president and pro- gram chairman. Never without her seemingly inex- liaustible supply of pencils was secretary Priscilla Tim- berlake. Pinching pennies till they screamed was the lot of lanky Conway Ulyate. Virginia Burgess filled the seat of social chairman. All the activities of the club were carried out under the guiding hand of Miss Margaret Finley. The bright spot of the year for the organization was the annual Latin Club banquet. At that time a dead language came to life, and how! The Classics building was transformed into a gaily decorated forum and ancient Romans and their families and friends swarmed the halls of dear old Poly. Oi ie iHxitixi naLuii. The Junior Institute Club met each Thursday evening in the Adobe of the Mission Inn throughout the school year. The purpose of the club was to gain a better understanding of world affairs. Much of the information necessary for analysis of social, political, and economic conditions came from speakers. Fre- quent round table discussions of timely subjects with student participation were encouraged. This year s members have tried to develop a better relationship with foreign peoples, and a clearer understanding and finer appreciation of world prob- lems under the excellent guidance of Mr. Earle M. Greene, the club adviser. At an election held the first meeting of the year, the group chose Alice Leamon, chancellor: LeRoy Bates, vice-chancellor; Jenne Uppenkamp, secretarial head; Shirley Olloman, treasurer; to lead them through the turbulent seas of argument, debate, and discussion. Los Loritos outstanding achievement of the year turned out to be the revival of Sloppy Jose s, that big little hole in the wall where superb food was to be had at reasonable prices. It is hoped that future Loritos will carry on the tradition at the circus of 42. A Hallowe en party and super special Mexican dinner also proved most interesting to the members of the club who are students taking third or fourth year Spanish. Popular Spanish and Mexican songs were sung in harmony at various times throughout the year under the able direction of Senorita Kincell and SenorTirado. That able linguist, Austraverta de la Torre served as president; Dorothy Dun- bar was vice-president; Barbara Marron kept the funds up as treasurer; Doris Mullins was secretary; and Mary Gabrielle Rametti provided lots of entertainment as social chairman.

The unwelcome task of Miss Margaret Finley was that of organizing this mass of intellectualism into some semblance of unity. Tbe meetings were held once a month and the programs were of a caliber be- fitting these young Einsteins. A couple of evening parties put red marks on their calendar. Of course the biggest thrill of the year is when a few of the Senior members get their life memberships and gold pins. It is then that Miss Finley realizes that all her work was not in vain. QlaAA4X i ta SuUn A mixture of notes and sandwiches were found in room 121 as the Music Club held their meeting every Friday noon. Bach and Beethoven were at their best as celery was munched and hot-dogs devoured. The classic lovers gathered around as the shining steel needle ran its rapid race in circles, giving forth the lovely melodies of the Classic age up to and includ- ing the modern century. The Swing Clubbers kicked up their heels to popular music of the day. The chairs were pushed back to the walls as the feet beat out the rumbas, fox trots, two steps and tango. Executives Emery, Pettit and Wendel kept the lively steppers under control. The modernistics met every Thursday noon at good old 121 , bringing their tempt- ting lunches and dancing to even more tempting music. Mrs. Mills stood by watching the classic s eyes shine with fascination of the never to be forgotten operas, symphonies and art songs; and the swingsters twirl to the shin-cracking music. iUe il ajf tU SaU Sitting up with sick calves, mothering baby chicks, and counting sheep took up much of the year for the Future Farmers of America. Under the direction of Mr. Holter and Mr. Moreland, the boys ' projects were the raising of farm animals and products. 1 hese sons of the soil learned many valuable pointers on how the farm should be run and the use of modern conveniences.

Phyllis Ryan filled the office of second vice-president and membership chairman. Mary Linn was charged with the office of secretary, and Linda Lewis took care of all pecuniary matters. Other officers were: ceremonial chairman, Barbara Cook; conference chairman and leadership council, Jean Hendricksen; devotional chairman, Lois Bartholomew: finance chairman, Janet Pooley; friendship chairman, Doris Mae Ingersoll: music chairman, Dorothy Rea: publicity chairman. Eleanor Rix; service chairman, Lorna Lee Earl; sign-up and supper chairman, Madalyn McWilliams: social chairman, Connie Drake: Sophomore representative, Joan Harris; Junior representative. La Von Slaughter; Girls League representative, Maurene Eife; St. Francis representative. Patsy Cassedy. These officers form the cabinet, the gov- erning body. In a club with such a large membership, several advisers are needed. The Hi-Tri advisers are Mrs. Carolyn Roblee, Miss Mary Brown, Mrs. John Crowley, Miss Margaret Finley, Miss May Henry, Miss Betty Landis, Miss Elizabeth Roblee, and Mrs. Lloyd Sellin. The general adviser, if such she may be called, is Miss Helen Gutknetch, G. R. secretary. Bright spots of the year were the Fall sport and Spring formal dances, the Dad-Daughter and Mother-Daughter ban- quets, and the Recognition service. The Ring Club, functioning as a club within a club, had for its presiding officer Muriel Mathews. With an eye on her minutes book was secretary Maxine Pat- terson. The highlights of this organization were the joint meetings with the Hi-Y. Riverside is getting a good supply of future Sonja Heinies and Eugene Turners as Polyites by the score flock to the new Orange Belt Ice Gardens. With instruc- tors and instructoresses many of the students have become rather expert in their uneasy sort of way. More and more students have become interested in this new entertainment and the new club is growing by leaps and bounds. The main feature of the club is no dues. (Rather ideal. Id say.) Tuesday evenings have been set aside for a regular meeting of the club and the skaters enjoy a long evening of trying out their latest achievement. The most unpleasant meeting, so I ' m told is being presented to the far from being warm solid water. But that doesn ' t get the best of them as most of them don t stay down long. Great events of the year were skating contests, the circus on ice, hi-jinks, cos- tume parties and ever so many thrilling shows. Officers were Carl Penrod, Marilynn Jackson and Phyllis Philbrook. gy Ji S First row--Ames. Maston. Philips. Shilket. Weir. Orton. Hainey. Allen. Poat. M. Smith. Hatch. Ambrose. Mathews.

Tennis is one of tKe many sports sponsored by the Girls Athletic Association. From the white-sweaterea members to the associate members, all admire a good shot from center court and a long drive down the hockey Held. But sports were not the only things that they sponsored: social events kept every- one busy. Most impressive among these were the crowning of the sports queen and the royal banquet. Weiner bakes, dinners, matinee dances, bowling, noon get- togethers— all helped to make a full year. Versatile Marjorie Hoffman guided this group as president. Rita Sunny Miller acted as vice-president. Bernice Beany Lerner kept her notes in readable form, and gay Mary Linn was the penny-wise gal who acted as treasurer. Those inseparables. Pauline Keich and Shirley Dahlgren, were responsible for the fine entertainment. Ruth Rogers publicized thematinee dances very effectively as pub- licity chairman and Ruth Hammack added her cheery voice as song leader. The three physical education teachers, led by Miss Grace Ketcham, acted as advisers. When the board was at a loss for an original idea, one of these three sagacious women. Miss Grace Ketcham, Miss Dorothea Tefft or Mrs. Martha Hart vell always rescued them witn a brainy idea. Among the various clubs at Poly, for the past few years the Bible Club has held its place. The club was founded and is being carried on by a group of students whose interest lies not only in Readin . ritin ' , rithmetic, vocational studies and social life, but in developing as much as possible, the side of life which is so ordi- narily neglected in daily life, the Spiritual side. Series of Bible studies are held and occassionally we were honored by an out- side speaker. Generally this speaker was a minister, missionary, or Christian worker from some church. Parties were planned at different times throughout the year by our social chairman. lid ia tUe fJ ifiiAed Bandaging injured limbs, applying iodine and now to make splints were practised by tbe future Florence Nigntingales of Poly HigK. Miss Dorothy Koetnen gave six lessons on now to calm tlie complaining patient to the eager girls in white. Sprained ankles and mosquito bites, along with sundry scratches were efficiently remedied with a smile and that enviable bed-side manner was acquired by all. Graduates of the First Aid Club will doubtless continue the good work with renewed fervor! Stand back boy s -thar she blows! Smells good, doesn t it? Cheer- ful Mr. Engleman is warning his students of the many hazards to be encountered in that fascinating field of chemistry. Over there with his nose in a flask is president Arnold Humble who is just wondering whether his homemade root beer will turn out with the desired tang. And in this corner we find secretary Marjorie Hackelt and charter member Bob Scapple watching over a very interesting solution which they whipped together from an old formulae-it has been used for years, but it still explodes with that old bang! 9n tka (IcMXfA ' Tis rumored that adviser John Caddy Crowley lost three precious pounds, chasing lost golf balls for his proteges. Over the hills and far away was Joe Lawson Little Cattern s motto as he took a mighty swing and connected, sending that overweight ping-pong ball right down to the green. Shouts of Fore came ringing through the afternoon as secretary Robert Paul made sure that the innocent bystanders were out of the way for his mighty drive. Notorious for digging up the turf, was Herbert Buddy ' Holland, whose unofficial title was vice-president. Happy days were spent by the Spanish speaking students who joined the Latin American Chib. Special events started off with a bang with a Get acquainted party at the first of the year. Other social gatherings included a real Valentine party, various trips to Padua, group singing, and the climax, a picnic. Officers for the year were: president, Salvador Tovar; vice-president. Austraverta de la Torre; secretary. Cruz Castro: treasurer, Mary Garcia: reporter. Mar- garita Luera: and social chairman. Penny Hernandez. Advisers were Spanish teachers Miss Kincell and Miguel Tirado. Qcdcdt-ai-QaioU-Qan Instructor 1 irado was chief untwister of the Wrestling Club. Arms and legs became bowed and disjointed. Some of the members were forced to return several extra pairs of legs which they walked off with after the meetings. A lost and found column was maintained by worried mem- bers. By the end of the year the sway-backed members had learned the half-Nelson, scissors-grip, and how to land after a tailspin. Zn Qi XA uie. Under the direction of Mr. Handlebars Buchanan a few hardy and romantic D Artagnans founded a club of duelists. Between finding excuses for avenging their honor and applying ready made dueling scars, these masters of the art of butcher knife brandishing wildly lashed the air with razor-sharp rapiers. The club s life was cut short by the absence of a dining-room table to jump upon in the true Douglas Fairbanks manner and the unhappy realization that spring brings earlier sunrises and it is easier to avenge one s honor by thirty extra winks. Ma ed vo , cU Mii44C This year our music department has been under the able direction oi Mr. George Gove, Mrs. Irene Wight, and Mr. Lester Oaks, and has proven to be most successful. Mr. Oaks and his band have taken many awards and have shown outstanding concert abihty. Student talent has also shone brightly this year. In the Panda Panic, our annual circus, five vocalists were featured and all were called on for encores. Also this year our assemblies have featured Helen Icely, Jean O. Miller, Lois Lane, Eilene Huffman. Loreena Russel, Jack Babcock and many others as vocalists. At Christmas time, the assembly was sponsored by the music depart- ment and was considered one of the best assemblies in the history of the school. The program was opened by a quartet of trumpets from the band, playing Adeste Fideles, followed by the customary Christmas music. This program, dedicated to Mr. Spohr, was accepted in a reverent manner and was one of the highlights of the Christmas season. In April, Mr. Oaks presented the band in a concert that will be long remembered by those who attended. Our hats off to Ben Herbert who is completing this June, three suc- cessful years as one of Poly s most outstanding pianists and organists. He has always been ready to lend his talent at any time and has spiritedly brought forth the Alma Mater in the assemblies. Always ready with a smile to render anything from Bach to Boogie- W oogie. was cheerful Frances Franny Christianson. Never failing to find time to lend a helping hand on a moment s notice, Fran has proved to be indispensable to the student body. Polyites express their gratitude! Our most up and coming singer of the class of 41 is Shirley DeLeau, who has appeared as soloist with the Glee Clubs and plans to continue her good work. Good luck, Shirley! SiunnUoniei, TKose students fortunate enougK to Kave taken orcKestra this year enjoyed it immensely. They have worked hard and have done some worrying too about the contest held at Chariey. But under the leadership or such a fine conductor as our own Lester Oaks, the orchestra was bound to make a good showing, and so was able to convince the judges at the Southern Cahfornia Festival of Music that it should be given first rating. Everyone did better than usual, especially Robert Lopez on the French horn who after much hard work on a difficult solo, handled it in perfect style. The orchestra gained a great deal from listening to other contestants and found that it had plenty of competition. A peanut shower on the way over was heaps of fun, too. Of course, the orchestra has done its part throughout the year at such events as Back to School Night and the A. S. B. play. Now and then various members tried their hands at conducting and maybe we 11 be reading of some famous orchestra leader in the future and say to ourselves, I knew him when.

Mrs. Wight, who has readily understood our feelings and helped us to make the necessary readjust- ments. She has given spiritual meaning to our serious niminers and valu- able interpretation to our lighter ones. We have given two concerts; one at Christmas for assemblies, and one at the close of school in place of the operetta. The former [jrogram was dedicated to Mr. Spohr and the girls sang Absent and Prayer Perfect in his honor. Mr. Gove, also, lias been ready and willing to give heljilul suggestions and criticisms and has been deeply appreciated. Through the combined efforts of Mrs. Wight, Mr. McEuen, and Mr. Gove, this year s Girls Glee Club has proved to be quite successful. I BcudMU to- leMim Under the direction ol Mr. Gove, the Boys Glee Chih had a very successiu! year. The boys practiced daily, in the band room, on many different kinds or songs, ranging from Negro Spirituals to American patriotic pieces. Together with the Junior College Glee Club, they presented a program for the Kiwanis Club at the Y. M. C. A. From time to time, Ben Herbert accompanied the group. The boys also participated in the light opera. The Blonde Donna, wr itten by Dr. Ernest Carter. It is a story of the old Santa Barbara fiesta days.

With this for her slogan, chairman Ahce Leamon bravely pitched the lent of the big top and produced that colossal, stupendous, gigantic pro- duction, the Poly Circus of 1941. Sky high baton twirler, Mary Marmon, in spangles and white satin, stepped around right lively, meanwhile casting shy smiles at Bob Slob- bery Olloman, to whom went the thespian honors for the dead pan, stacK of Esquires, and torn trade catalog. Masculine hearts beat just a little faster as glamorous Helen Icely, Bad Humor Man ' Darlene Galloway, and Marjorie Hackett, came out to render three smash songs from the Hit Parade. And girls did you hear that Johnny Mother McCree Pierce escorted Kathleen safely home on wings of song? Those ever dependable Y boys went a rolling, and a tumbling and a diving here and there into space to compete with the best of the aerial artists under the canvas. Every time they managed to come down to earth feet first, with a bang! First nighters received a thrill from a melodramatic pantomime, pro- duced by three coeds from the dramatic classes. Heroine Marjorie Jervey, in white and black was courted by Hero Madalyn Rembrandt Mc Wil- liams, who was completely outfitted in smock, beret, palate, brush, and easel. The audience rose to boo as one when our diminutive villain Mary Jane Ager entered, to crack a mean whip over the heroine s poor, defense- less head. Surprise endings were the order of the evening, as a happy reunion between the heroine and villain ensued. Rootin , tootin , and shootin , came softly on its way as those ever lovin cornhuskers, Coe and Haller, gave forth a mighty, never-to-be-forgotten number, with the amazing title of I Ain t Got No Use for the Women with superfluous guitar and piano accompaniment. Straight from the islands came Ukelele Lowe, Wakiki Drake, and Kulihau Bayless, with their grass skirts, and many old native songs — well anyway, primitive! A roaring climax was reached with Ye Olde Bank Nite, as per- sonally conducted by Jerry Rockefeller Coe, and Leroy I wrote the script Bates. The lucky winner of first prizes received a permanent and valuable gift in the form of frozen H- ' O. fuunaili Pe UXMiXi Poly owes most oi her out- standing entertainment to Mr. V. S.

Despite being handicapped by totally inadequate facilities lor over twenty years, Dal has always given Poly nn- ished productions. We have no Oscars to present, but to you, Dal, many, many thanks!

Outstanding in llie leading role of Pat, was Lilas Doherty who was ruled over by Freddie, as played by Jordan Claytor. Diminutive Mary Jane Ager shone brightly as the child movie star who became enamored of Jerry Coe the reporter. Jack Stoddard and Marjorie Jervey as the j arents, Tom and Vicky, turned in good i:)erformances. Other members of the class of 41 who rated curtain calls were: Mada- lyn McWilliams as Rosie, the housekee( er, Janet Pooley as Aimt Flossie Florence, Bob Ecklund as chauffeur Murphy. Virginia Hen- dricks as Bummy, Dorothy Dunbar as Annabelle Cjlamour-|niss Wil- son, and Mary Ann Fleming as shy Myra Edwards. Digging Up tKe Dirt, a romantic comedy, was staged by the Junior class as tKeir annual play, March 7, 1941. Shirley White, as Aunt Miriam Eggles, portrayed her part exceedingly well. While chaperoning four vivacious charges, she also manages to get her man. Professor Halleck, who was played by Floyd Mathews. The four girls. Betty. Nan. Jane, and Phyllis played correspondingly by Racine Yohe. Beverly Merchant, Greta Nlontgomery. and Peggy Taylor, all showed talent. Racine did the romantic part. Beverly succeeded in get- ting a grip on the heart of the heretofore unromantic Bill Loomis. Greta fulhlled the hole of the innocent type, and Peggy the loving sweetheart of Allen. Kenneth Andrews, played by Bob Odell, and Bill Loomis, by Sanford Smith, add much humor when trying to conceal their identity from Ken s girl who has come to the dude ranch. Kay Christensen as the bad hombre and Kim Coolcsey as Sheriff Carson provided the thrills to the play. Other guests at the ranch were Jacqueline Wendell, Katherine Emery. Antoinette Harris, Betty Toppel, Betty Ann Yeager. Herbert Holland, Ralph and Griffin Dooley, Willard Sheldon, and Jim Hastings. lite WM Wedca 1 lie laugli record for Poly High was broken Friday niglit. May Q, with the A. S. B. production of The Wild Westcotts. ' This best play of the year com- bined the talents of the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes The result was both astounding and amazing! The wildest of the Westcotts were Marjorie Jervey and Mary Jane Ager, who fought continually throughout the play. Self ap- pointed ruler of the family was Bob Olloman who tried to keep his batty relations in hand. He was distinctly hampered by Bob Steffy, whose specialty was vi- brating. Definitely sought after by Mary Jane Ager was Jordan Claytor as Captain Trenchard, who broke Agatha s heart (but not for long) by marrying the beautiful widow, Phyllis Ryan. Bob Ecklund as Henry, suffered under the dominant rule of his wife Marjorie Jervey and the crazy maid, Mrs. Taylor played by Dorothy Dunbar, who stead- fastly refused to do any work. lieivUtd tke Sce nel A fascinating world of make-believe is created for you behind llie scenes. The settings for all plays presented at Poly are built right here on our own stage by our own students. Productions are managed by students, under the able direction of Mr. V. S. Dalrymple. On the evening of the perform- ance tKe stage is a scene of bustling activity. Stagecraft b oys hurr back and forth, getting everything in readiness, actors rush hither and thither inquiring about their prop- erties, and generally getting in the way. Last minute things are fin- ished in the nick of time and the curtain goes up. All goes smoothly right down to the last doorbell and off-stage collision. The play is a hit!
