The characters have been the same since man began. This is the story that every kid knows by heart, be- cause it is of himself. There is no plot because it is woven into the people. All the little joys . . . the little fears ... in the little people. Now the people are afraid because of the War. . . . The BIG WAR. WAR has always been part of the story, but now it must cease, because it has stolen the show. If it continues, it must play the part alone because it has become too pompous to allow anyone else to play it with him . . . not even 11 f ■««« ... mtjm Vt2 ■s . •. ■ IttKdJft the people who portray it. The cue is for the next character to re-enter ... for FREEDOM is the most im- portant character on the stage. If it is not there ... the play becomes nothing. And all the other people in the story ... the little unimportant ones who are important because they make the WAR and the FREEDOM, what of them? . . . They continue doing little things that make them big . . . they continue holding hands, and dancing to Harry James, and laughing at cartoons, and being thrilled when elected to class office . . . all the little things that make the FREEDOM. That is the story. This book is but a mere recording of the happenings of one small year ... a mere paragraph in the chapters to follow. These pages represent all the small folk and their small talk. j n u n u L j tt j - r J U . 2 MHU ...42 a 5 PROGRESS . . 88 I m ' j ADVERTISE . 12 ( ■■ i 1 i -A JL . ' 1 V. j n n 1 THE ACID TEST for any student in Poly is to be on the Commission. If he can live through that, he ' s fit for any man ' s army. The members are coagulated, rather than called to order for a meeting Head- man Shippee (who wants to begin) entreats, begs, and finally bursts into tears as Parma leaps out the window at a passing girl. Mr Esgate (the man who does the work) sits back and smiles under his moustache, and Margie gave up trying to keep minutes long ago. Tad argues with Brown that there should be a basketball assembly every week, and Patsy wants to know just when does the Girls League get a chance? Then Harper says the Spotlight needs a little oomph, so Cornwall sulks and says he won ' t buy a Koala. When the uproar ebbs at low tide, Harlan can be faintly heard mumbling something in- coherently which breaks into, All in favor . . . naturally everyone says, Aye, and Margie thinks that maybe something will be done after all... but . . . oh . . . darn it! . . . there goes Parma after another girl.

PAUL 1 J n ALTHO ' HE IS USUALLY HIDING in the comparative safety of JC, once in awhile Polyites catch a glimpse of Mr. Paul peeking from his office. Well known for his quick and witty sayings, he has brightened the life of many a student. However, when the time comes for discipline, Mr. Paul is nooooo o slouch 1 Being principal for Poly and JC is no easy task, as he well knows, but he seems to have survived it for about twenty-five years. It may have turned his remaining hairs white, but nothing has caused him to lose his youthful vigor. MORE POPULAR WITH THE GALS than Frank Sinatra, Miss Thayer takes the brunt of all their troubles and hears their tales of woe On the go every minute of the day, she vibrates from place to place. No one asks her how she does it . . . it ' s one of those things you just naturally accredit to vitamin B ' . We ' d like to say a thousand and one nice things about her, but students reading this would groan and say The same old story. Well, Miss Thayer isn ' t the same old story, and this is as good a time as any to tell everyone what a really grand person she is. w MA j EVERY YEAR FOR THE PAST DECADE, Mac has taken it on the chin, so on behalf of the past as well as this year, we ' d like to show how much we really appreciate him. When you think of all the students with diabolical-gleam-in-eye, who run him ragged, you no longer wonder why his hairs are turning gray. We kid him a lot, but we know that Mac is a tradition . . he ' s as much a part of Poly as is the R on the hill He ' s one whom you remember as good old Mac, when you think of Poly and the way it was in the good old days n WITH SARAY COATES and 01 ' Man Rupel as advisors, what class wouldn ' t be different . . . and we mean different! But they managed to k eep the Sophs in tow, and what more could we ask?

As if any inside track in the Attendance Office would help 1 Of course, one gets to know them all from the viewpoint of the office bench. We take them for granted but we know that the old wheels of Poly wouldn ' t grind smoothly without them. u ANIIOFIS FROM DAWN TIL DARK, the janitors work feverishly pulling gum from be- neath the chairs and mopping up misplaced Eskimo pies. Because we at Poly don ' t make life easy for them, at least once a year we ought to thank them for their friendliness and work well done. WHEN THE NOON BELL RINGS, if you value your life, you vamoose while the herd stampedes to the scent of food.

The training began with cadet officers and non-commissioned officers instructing the men how to come to attention, salute, and prepare for inspection. ( Later in the year the unit received rifles. ) This started the training of extended order with the men in their polished uniforms crawling through mud, grass and other ob- stacles with their new rifles. The training received in the ROTC this year will prove of great value to those entering the Armed Forces.

Coach Anthony Step- onovich ' s eleven finished with four league wins and one tie The season opened at Riverside against the Pomona Red Devils, the game ending in a 12 all deadlock. Poly crushed Colton 20 to 7, and then visited Chaffey to win 20 to 14. Mathematicians proved that the Bears triumphed over Redlands 37 to 7. Then in the season ' s biggest tilt, Poly beat San Bernar- dino 24 to 19. Leading the Poly offenses were Jordan, who was placed on the first CBL team, and the second Helms Athletic Foundation All- Southern California team, and Boren, another first stringer, on the all- league team. The mainstays of the line, and also on the first team were Martin and Carlson Phillian, Montgomery, Auld, and George, the latter two juniors were on the second team. In the only non-league game, Corona tied the Bears, 7-7.

Fleet Joe Citarella led the running attack for the sophies, an example of his skill coming in the second Redlands Pup game, when he carried the ball four times, made four touch- downs, three of which counted, and was not tackled once all afternoon. On the line, were Stevenson and Brown at ends, Hunter and Wingate at tackles, Stokes and Malone at guards, with Con- stable working at center. Mosher ' s backfield other than Citarella included Harris, Gill, and Tate. The Bearlets lost a thriller to Pomona, topped Redlands twice, and split two decisions with the Colton B squad.

The Bruins got off to a bad start when they lost two of their first three tilts, and another defeat would have tossed them out of the running for the title, but Bill Mumma ' s team came to life to cop five straight league games TOP LEFT— Parmo seems afraid that Jordan will forget to let go of the boll.

Pomona fell twice before the fighting Riversiders, 28-19 and 34-30. In a rough and rugged pair of games, San Bernardino split twice with the Bears. Losing the first time 25 to 18, Poly came back to win by a 32 to 1 8 margin. Colton lost twice to the busy Bruins 37-1 4 and 32 to 1 8. In non-league games, Chaffey stopped Poly twice, Corona lost twice, and Elsinore fell once. The twelve man squad consisted of Du nagan, Okert, Biery, Cress, Hiatt, and Jordan, seniors. Juniors this year, and returning next season: Pentoney, Parma, Stockton, Ben- zor, Jones and Jameson. TO? LEFT — Watch it, Joady, say Dunagan and Okert, football season is over, ya-know.

Glenn Gilkeson ' s five lost Jake Borden early in the season, putting them under additional handicap, but Joe Citarella filled in for Borden, played magnificent ball along with the others. Poly topped Redlands twice, split two with Pomona ' s Imps, and blasted the San Bernardino Cardettes twice. Danny Akers paced the sophomores this year, scoring 58 points. Center Bill Brown ran a close second in the scoring race compiling a total of 56 points The next scorer was Phil Washburn with 12 points. Frank Brophy was one of the best defensive guards in the league, and he with Brown, Akers, Citarella, and Washburn played without substitutions in several of the games.

The only track that this school has seen was the mterclass meet, in which the juniors came out on top. This year ' s varsity looks weaker than in past years. They have only one letterman returning, that one being Ernie Webb, a senior. They have several good bets for their meets, those being Bill Bender in the 880, Frank Amaro in the mile, William Ponder and Jim Jordan doing the high jump work, and Marvin Dreger and Webb pole vaulting. The sophomores may come up with their league ' s championship. With Williams, Ellison, and Trost in the dashes, Trost and Ellison broad jumping, Brown and Home running the 330, and Brown doing pole vaulting, make the Bearlets potentially the strongest sophie team in the league. Mjf w m COACH MUMMA SAYING TO HARRIS, ELLISON AND AMARO THE ONLY LOGICAL THING IN SUCH A SITUATION— READY, SET, GO 1 c ti b THIS CLUB CONSISTS ENTIRELY OF BOYS who run around in flaming orange and green sweaters, showing off their muscles. (Consequently they are usually being chased by frenzied girls carrying flaming torches.) But seriously they are all a swell bunch of fellows, and have really earned those letters in the various sports they have participated in. The club this year was directed by Prexy George Carlson, and believe it or not, they really accom- plished a good deal. ( In what though, we ' d hate to say.)

The team, composed of four seniors, two |uniors, and eleven sophomores, was led by Bob Hallock, coach and Tom Hicks, manager. This year ' s team was Poly ' s best in the last few years. We are hop- ing for an even better team next year. The team ' s outstanding swimmers were Chuck Constable, in the 220 yard free style, David Harris and Richard Knege in the 100 yard free style, and Dick Twogood in back stroke. n d 56 1 J n b n u LEFT— GAA CABINET UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF JEAN GOCHENOUR Front row — Cannady, Hommock Second row — Lorson, Hart, Post, Ybarra Third row — Cowden, Culpepp er, Marble, Whisen- hunt, Palmer, Dovis, Gochenour THE G A.

It is rumored that Patsy had to bring cookies to Board meetings to keep the gals happy, who, regardless of the fear of bulging waist lines gladly downed several boxes. Few people realize the tremendous amount of work the League does for they have in the past year, welcomed the new girls, brought exchange assemblies to Poly, put cheerful curtains in the sick room of the Health Office, arranged the senior girls ' breakfast, and started a new tradition of hav- ing a Mother-Daughter day at Poly. 60 TOP: Representatives, front row— Hood, Leeson, Post, Lesley, Paul, Harris, Hurd Second row— Castro, White, Anderson, Whisenhunt, Hodley, Babcock, Ringstrom, McGaugh, Scaffi, Marietta BOTTOM: Girls League Board, front row— Claytor, Sharp, Barnett, Wood Second row— Hamblin, Nolen, Adams, Gochenour, Eddy, Roa, Stemler, Davison n u n li ii D tt n G n b THE BUDDING GENIUSES of the Honor Society were guided by Miss Fmley to soaring heights of scholastic achievement Miss Gilbert joined Miss Finley in advising the Latin Club TOP, Honor Society, front row — Thomas, Kimpton, Ford, Nelson, Trot to, Crosby, Walker, Eddy, Paul, Houg, Gladden Second row— Lundberg, Paul, Harmon, Colignon, Wall.

Well watch that tone — for these are the members of the Poly Chamber of Commerce, a serv- ice organization which exists to boost student activities in any way they can. For instance, the April bond drive, the apple of the PCC ' s eye, was a huge success. Rosalie Jones, president, rolled up her sleeves and did one noble job as the club ' s big-wig. Mrs. Flor- ence Raymond, faculty advisor, handed out the necessary gentle shoves to get things moving and the pats on the back when they were done. The other officers knocking themselves out for the worthy cause were Duane Smith, Miriam Webb, and Joy Hanson. R. JONES, B. SNOWBALL, MRS. RAYMOND, M. WEBB, D. SMITH, J.

AS EVERY GIRL KNOWS there are two main reasons for joining Hi-Tri. The first is to escape from home every Monday night, and the second is the possible chance of a date afterwards. Dorothy Davison is Hi-Tri president with Mrs. Roblee as her advisor. If, on Mon- day night, you should come across a large group of giggling gals you can be almost sure that you are in the midst of one of their hectic meetings. The prospect of another dance is usually brought up and at once there is a great commotion over the limited amount of manpower available, and other related and uplifting subjects.

Long-suffering Dick Stoeffler and Carol Crosby wrote pages of copy, for which they received absolutely no credit. (Except for a large by-line on every page.) When bill-collection time comes around Business Manager Bette Richardson and H, K. Young go into frantic conferences to decide if the books can possibly be balanced this year. But finally from the midst of all this confusion comes the finished Spotlight, complete with world-shaking news, uplifting editorials, and the results of extensive eavesdropping and note-reading.

Well of all the stupid questions 1 If you should ask anyone of the staff members they ' ll either answer in vile words, or else hang their heads in shame. The office is a mixture of waste-paper, a photographers ' lab and rubber cement. (Mostly the latter.) Williams is jumping up and down on Beckett for not getting that full page ad. Harper, the ed., is usually there asking if you won ' t write just one more piece of copy — please? Sides is anxiously wondering how to break the news to Stalder that the pages in the dummy have all been numbered wrong. (Consequently Stalder bursts another blood-vessel.) Hancock is pushing the hair and glue out of her eyes and asking if it ' s time for the pictures to come out of the drier. Hanson and Bayz are trimming pictures (and fingernails) on the paper cutter — and Webb and Allan are feverishly flirting with Advisor Stalder. As you can plainly see no boys are ever fool enough to come near the place.

It all started out with our pep assemblies at the first of the year, and, due to said rowdy gatherings, over 1000 ASB tickets were sold. And hardly anyone asking for their money back 1 ) Next came the football rally — after which our gridiron men covered themselves with glory and bruises. Naturally, somebody was needed to lift the team ' s morale; and so our cheer leaders very neatly filled their sweaters and the bill. And in the line of sports we really should pat our big husky boys on the back for having won CBL championship in football, basketball and Sophomore basketball. Also a pat for the Swing Band (pictured below) who kept the students jumping when they played. All in all, school spirit hit a new high this year and even the Alma Mater was sung with fervor.

Under the direction of maestro Lester Oaks and Cadet Captain Lloyd Ulyate, the blue-clad boys from room 400 amazed the student body at the football games by giving out with such renditions as The Boogie Woogie Band, and Tommy Dorsey ' s Swanee River. They then turned around and presented several symphonic concerts. Woodcock, Parma, Pons, Dahlgren, K.

Yet strangely enough through patience and understanding they achieved their goal On the whole the year was a very successful one for all, and in the opinion of Mr. Oaks it was the best band at Poly since he began teaching here.

Surgical dressings were made by the girls and many students worked after school in essential industries Pupils ' bulging wallets were soon depleted by Red Cross and bond sales which went over in a big way Of course, bait was offered such as the Bond Premieres at the Fox and De Anza theaters Held in Poly ' s bleachers was the Bond Rally for the town during which thousands of dollars worth of bonds were sold. % m it kV x i w ANNUALLY COMES POLY ' S TWO BIG FORMALS of the year: the Military Ball in February and the Junior-Senior Prom in May.
