The boys' favorites were cords lwhose value was estimated not by their newness but by the extent of the area which was covered with oil and greasel, levis, and leather jackets under which they wore an unending variety of T-shirts, sweaters, and stiff collar shirts. The gals appeared in a far greater selection. They were most frequently attired in skirts with blazers or huge, comfortable sweaters. On their feet they wore saddles with a varia- tion of Argyles and Angoras or loafers which they wore without sox. The Patio was a popular place to hang out-from there the comings and goings of the female were observed and commented upon. nm-. 1- ---U Their diet consisted of an assortment of gastronomical horrors that would have killed an ordinary mortal, but these people seemed to thrive on such things as cakes , hamburgers , do-nuts and sundaes . First choice in literature was demonstrated by the limp condition of the Tigers den copy of the Comic Strip at the end of a day. Their young and innocent minds were exposed to such horror tales as the colorful deaths of Flat-top , The Brow and Shaky . Li'l Abner, vet- eran of seven Sadie Hawkins Days, began to show the strain. lf there was ever a choice between attending second period or patronizing Mrs. Kelley's haven for the purpose of discovering Terry's latest move, the latter frequently triumphed.

J 1 0 N . N . .. . ON . I x V l Anything mec anized served as a means of transporta- tion for this strange race. Roadsters and late-model con- vertibles were seen parked side by side on Ramona, a popular spot after something new was added on Riverside Ave. in the form of shiny Parking l Hour signs. Gas rationing gave them trouble. Cars like those of Willard Niedens, Bill Carlson, Earl Andren, and Chester the Kidd lshown belowl, that in ordinary times would have been gracing the highways to the beach, the mountains, or L. A., were pretty well confined to local thoroughfares. Nj .. x .3 X N . W . lj 4 - .R xi 0' '1 TE biggest bargain in the land was contained in a green, red, purple, and chrome monstrosity that occupied space in almost every local establish- ment that received the patronage of the Younger Generation. For one nickel in the slot of this juke they heard the sweet or hot strains of The Duke , Harry James, Frank Sinatra, The King Cole Trio, Jo Stafford, Andy Russell, Johnny Mercer, or Les Brown. What better way could have been found to spend a spare three minutes. Some Called Their Bluff Mr. A. j. Showed 'Em the Way kmong the various other activities of the Younger Gen- eration were occasional events held in the gym after a game or honoring a special occasion such as Friday the l'hirteenth labovel. These were known as dances , and 'he motions there portrayed were erroneously referred to is dancing . Parents who observed, only commented 'hot this pastime had once been considered an art. With the possible exception of McEuen and Paul, Poly High moved to the Bonnet every night but Monday. It was invariably the end or beginning of every evening, and any patron or passer-by was sure to be amused by the quaint expressions and customs of those who frequented this establishment from 5:00 to l:00. It was well known that there was never a dull moment at Harry's . V ' 1' , if, , ,fp ,, '74 M ' Q, - ' , There was a hungry looking little guy named Sinatra kicking around at this time who caused a lot of controversy. Some worshipped-some loathed-but at any rate he should have felt honored to find him- self displayed in the neat, orderly lockers of so many co-eds. ln addition to picture galleries, these lockers were also used for the occasional storing of books, :oats, and other miscellaneous material. Although they appeared completely frivolous it was this Younger Generation that was winning a war. Each month a few grinning fellows entered some branch of the service. When home on leaves they were a little less slap-happy- a little more aware of what was going on around them, but they didn't resent the fact that those at home still knew how to laugh. Instead they joined in, for that laughter was one thing they had left home to preserve. he effect of this ever present element in society fnamely the Younger Generation, on the cultural, intellectual, and economic activities of the human race was tremendous. This, the I945 Koala is an attempt to pre- serve for study and future reference by coming generations, a record of life as these quaint and curious people actually lived it. TAKE A LOOK AT THE ul !g y X. df!!! Wim OLINGER GENERATION The First Weeks Were Hard An air of nonchalance being the primary requirement for success in Poly, newcomers clung to theirs and usually refused to ask directions even when found wandering help- lessly down Ramona in search of the gym. Lost expressions similar to that displayed on the countenance of soph Bob Fisher at the left were common on the first days of school. From Sad Sophs to Mighty M ites The most important event in the first week of their careers at Poly was the traditional assembly when commission members raised sophs from the lowly category of an un- classified species to the question- able dignity of being mites . At the left are Bob Fleming, Lucy Bon- nett, Patty Wood, Bart Singletary and Gerald Adix crooning with ges- tures that a mite is an animal with generally obnoxious charac- teristics. The Action Was Missing Sophomores knew they were in as soon as the ritual of scrubbing the R was completed. Calmer than preceeding years, and minus a bone- breaking free-for-all, the R was polished up in SOPH isticated style by class President Roy Barnett and Richard Wadding. THE l:Kl: Mlltb First year students entered Poly well fortified with accounts of the strange things they could expect to find there and advice on how to cope with them. Sophs went through a period of acclimation where the only adjective that could adequately describe their attitude was eager . During this phase they were easily distinguished from others by such characteristics as bugged eyes and gaping mouths. The rumor, current and choice among Juniors and Seniors, was that behind the Mite's blank expressions lay nothing but a vast expanse of-nothing. But upperclassmen soon learned the old maxim that Mite makes right , and while outwardly ignoring the fact that Mites existed, quietly checked the links on the ball and chain. When the big shots finally condescended to make friends with the sophs they found them artless but genial people who wanted no more than to be in . There is a lack of sufficient space for speculation as to how well the Mites lived up to the name so graciously bestowed upon them, but the Juniors and Seniors, at least, seemed satisfied with the classification. They Made Friends and Influenced People The smiles worn by Soph officers, President Roy Barnett, Debate Manager Girls' Athletic Manager Janet Jackson, Secretary Sandra Wilson, Boys' Athletic Manager Frances Roberts and Vice-President La Marr Eisenman are undoubtedly Zane Dazey and Social Chairman Coleen Olander sit peacefully eating ice cream cones because the school day was finished. and ignoring their numerous tasks. swf, is 1,,'4 1,4- ,--1. 13 ' u 1 J, Q - 'Q MMF' w ll a an , 3 W V , , 3 h iff 3 '9 Q, 4, r if 2 'ic :il ga .. mb - Q - K .Q ' ' , ' 2, 4 9 -, t ,E 5,2 fa ..

To some it meant only a week of work thrown in among other weeks of work. To these it meant literally nothing. To another group it meant a week of rest around the house or perhaps a week in another city, or in the mountains, and even to these it had little more significance than a prolonged week-end-an absence of school. To a third group, however, it meant much more. That long awaited week had come. It was Friday afternoon and school was out. The next day they would throw most of their precious belongings into a suitcase, make a last attempt to borrow an extra five dollars from the old man, climb into some form of either two or four wheeled vehicles, and leave books, teachers, classrooms, hardship and toil for a week-seven precious days at the beach. When I they arrived, however, the hardest task was yet to be faced. Upon reaching that haven by the sea, Balboa, students of all descriptions proceeded to rent and occupy all available rooms, apartments, cottages, and houses. They wondered if they would be able to find a room, or be forced las others of unfortunate financial condition were forced to dol to sleep in a car or on the sands. Ilt has even been recorded that two students slept in a boatl. They finally found a room-and what a room! In peacetime such a room would have rented for fifty cents a night. Now, it was being sacrificed for the paltry sum of fifteen dollars a week-practically giving it away. How- ever, they were forced to be content, and Sam StiefeI's had to do. Let us move, however, to a more pleasant phase of life. During that brief period away from cares of home, the student wished to enjoy himself. He, there- fore, sought amusement and relaxation. In the daytime he may have found most of his friends on the beach at Corona Del Mar. There they spent the day lying in the sun and relaxing. Even a few ventured to try the water. In the evenings he might have found himself strolling around on the boardwalk or on the pier. Some ambitious students, however, entertained in their humble abodes or spent the evenings at other's. The remainder, enchanted by the sea air and spring, looked for dates and tried their luck, or skill, as the case may be, there. If time flies, it never flew faster than that precious week. Before they knew it, they were casting a last look at their recently adopted home, and in a short time were facing the stern reality of school all over again.

SGME ERE An event overshadowing the dance itself in festivity was decorating for the Junior- Senior Prom. All the character Gremlins, attired in their finest llevis and plaid shirtsl managed to get out of class and throng to the gym. Slap! Slap! Slap! and brushes slapped in rhythm to the fast Boogie Woogie lthat's what ah meanl being pounded out on the ivories by some talented junior who came along to keep up the committee's morale. Someone always showed up in the nick of time to revive fatigued decorators with cokes, pretzels and pop-corn. Amid the party atmosphere a few made themselves useful. Don Trapnell, artist, worked energetically with his array of paints, as Sheila Gordon laboriously paint- ed pink elephants with purple spots la fit- ting theme, everyone agreedl, and last but hardly least Burnadette Nelligan, Social Chairman, scurried about organizing com- mittees and trying to graft H. K. out of just a little more money. Things were looking dark for awhile, but to the amaze- ment of all those present, absent, or other- wise, it emerged a success. GREMLINS The Junior Class was the namesake of a species of little men whose favorite activity was generally gumming up the works. The Gremlins returned to Poly after a summer during which they had gained that attribute known as savoir-faire lwhich was the ability to juggle a coke glass, a hamburger, and french fries on their knees while fumbling wildly in a pocket with one hand in an effort to appear anxious to settle the check and flashing the lights enthusiastically with the other to attract the attention of the car-hop l and had made that long-awaited visit to the Auto Club for a quick trip around the block and the receipt of that all-important black card to grace the front of their wallets. By that time they knew when they were being thrown a line and could return one that was just as fancy. They could tell a Jerk on sight, and knew the difference between Pants and Skirts . They were primarily interested in enjoying themselves, but had learned to do so with- out completely knocking themselves out.

They knew all the ropes at Poly and were a little bored by them. They had at least heard of Greens mansion , knew every turn on the way to the mountains and the beach and had managed to don tie or hose a few times to explore the wonders of the Hollywood Palladium. Some had found a special teacher whom they called friend-one who was o source of little wit- ticisms and big ideas. Their careers at Poly lex- pressed in a vernacular rich in masterpieces of understatementl had been eventful. As Sophs they had given spectators a scrubbing of the R to end all scrubbings of the R lit almost didl, left school at l2:l5 to pick tomatoes and onions and then took a well earned rest in the form of a colorful spring vacation. As Juniors their members figured prominently on both the championship teams. They arranged to have the gym masquerade as a night club as they entertained seniors at their definitely superior Junior-Senior Prom. As seniors they were a little taller and a little wiser than they had been as Sophs. Some ditched class too much, some didn't ditch enough, but either type had learned to like Poly and as they were measured for caps and gowns, walked down the aisle to baccalaureate, poked fun at themselves on senior night, and heard Mac reading their names at graduation, they found themselves not a little sorry to say So long, Poly.

B. prexy, Bart Singletary began his duties with an air of cheerful optimism, and soon had succeeded in con- verting all of those who came within his sphere of influence to his happy-go-lucky spirit and his inimitable system of getting things done. Whether shouting at a yelling mob of students, discussing problems with Paine and McEuen, or just talking quietly with the boys, Bart found himself in- variably at ease and continually at home. JK Noted for almost everything except carrying on quiet, orderly meetings, this governing body was composed of a somewhat colorful assortment of characters, as one can judge by the group assembled below. Bob Fleming, Commissioner of Entertainment, was faced with the problem of making the Aud more popular than Ramona on Thursday mornings. Spotlight Editor Adix lthe melan- choly countenance shown gazing into the cash register belowl passed the time at meet- ings huddled in a corner talking in a hoarse whisper to Doris McMahon, Commissioner of Records, and guardian of A. S. B. Store funds. He always had some strange idea about the Spotlight needing more money. DIRECTED ALL ACTIVITIES Patty Wood, Commissioner of Girl's Welfare and defend- er of lost causes, figured prominently in the debut of that scintillating aria A Mite Is an Animal at the Soph- naming assembly. Siesta-lover Paine was never amazed but always amused by the activities of this work-loving, willing group. Bert Dudley was famous as the most casual Commissioner of Finance ever to sell IZOO A. S. B.'s. Tom Martin, Commissioner of Boy's Welfare ran into difficulty when important student body papers were detoured into the laundry via the pocket of his levis. Joy Hanson, Annual Ed, just watched. From settling controversies arising from disappearing flicker discs to carrying on the more conventional duties of a commission, this group represented and governed its school with efficiency and good humor. . . S WITH THE ADVICE 0F THE The Allied Leaders had nothing on the Big Three of Poly. More major battles were fought and won by them during the year than could possibly have been scheduled for operation by the military mights of the War. They were Principal A. G. Paul, whom the Younger Generation saw only when he risked his life by eating with them at the T. D., Dr. Jean Thayer, Dean of Girls and Mr. Anthony's chief rival, and Vice- Principal Fred L. McEuen fknown to many as the Walking Stetson l who was always there when any student tried to park by the flag-pole or make a furtive trip to Ruby's at noon. Because these people fulfilled the duties of administrative trio with so much patience and friendliness, a relationship existed between them and the students that both liked to think of as being just a little bit different than the usual one between directors and students-a relationship that was expressed in good-natured puns, understand- Three Front War in the Malfing ing smiles, and mutual respect. ADMINISTRATORS The function of the School Board that affected the Younger Generation the most profoundly, was the deciding when students should, and when they should not have vacations. In addition to such noticeable activities they procured textbooks, hired new teach- ers, and, at their monthly meetings, generally decid- ed upon the fate of the school. Above lleft to rightl are Superintendent of Schools Ira Landis, President of the Board, Mrs. E. M. Bonnett, Business Manager, A. L. Long, Russell Waite, J. Norman lrving, Mrs. Gladys Babcock, and Charles Beaudreau, whose un- ceasing efforts gave Riverside a school system of which it could justly be proud. 57 THE ADVISORY REPRESEN TIVES 1 ,A ..

AND THE HELP 0F THESE With the merit system back in use and the Sophs becoming more resourceful every year, the ATTENDANCE OFFICE did a thriving business. Pictured at the right are attendance officer Glen Gilkeson, helper Margie Reese, and well-known patron, Bill Riddle. 1 COUNSELORS, Miss Bird and Mrs. Roblee combined forces with Dean Thayer and kept all of Poly's feminine members happy and contented. This was accomplished only through many hours of juggling schedules and long, confident talks. The smiling faces below belonged to Brainard, Pratt and Crafts of the OFFICE STAFF who stood behind the counter in the offices returning lost keys and wallets and answering questions as to what he or she had fourth period. To boost the Student Union the P. T. A. gave wholeheartedly of its time and efforts. For their cooperative spirit the student body gratefully extended its thanks. ..,. x , .,. X ss. Q L h M.. CLISTODIANS These fellas really cleaned up l Although they were rarely seen or heard of except through infrequent notices in the bulletin commending the students on the well-kept campus, they occasionally appeared at inopportune moments to see ice cream papers sailing through the air toward the nearest trash box which was quietly smold- ering while unfortunate victims of the cold winter hovered about, warming their hands. Most of their grey hairs were caused by the sight of oranges being indiscriminately thrown around the campus during the noon hour, and although students promised each year to reform, the custodians were still forced to Henna their locks. CAFETERIA STAFF The fearless four , here pictured, were those responsible for the meals served in the cafeteria during the school year. Each day they spent many hours preparing shim- mering Jello salads and mashing hundreds of potatoes so that there was nary a lump in them. Then when the noon bell rang and a torrent of hungry Bears swept down to the cafe, these women were able to stand back and see that their work had not gone unappreciated, for the food fast began to disappear. 60 Keyes, Mitchell, O'Livas, Jones, Manousky, Clark, McCoy, Bengston Left to right: Arends, Brazee, Green, Woods rom the time they were five until they became discouraged the younger generation spent approximately six hours a day enclosed in the halls of one institution of learning or another. For some this gaining of an insight into education was a mild form of torture. For others it was an entirely acceptable way to spend time. But both types came to Poly each day and entered a class room. On the following pages is a record of how they spent their time behind those doors and the people with whom they spend it, so turn the page to SCC. THE YOUNC-ER GENERATICN .

Brainstrom of the year was their departmental examination, instigated as a special treat for American History students. At noon a group of male faculty members once took their lunches and their most arbi- trary opinions to Stalder's room to enjoy bunsen burner brewed coffee in the manner portrayed at the right, and to discuss every- thing from war in the Pacific to the relative merits of their peanut butter sandwiches. They finally exchanged for Mr. Barto's hospi- tality when the Koala staff became too evi- dent and too obnoxious. Leaving refined methods behind, Mr. Mac- kenzie trys more forceful ways of impressing Douglas' Squatters Sovereignty in the minds of a third year social class. Besides recently adopted high school classes, he could still be found expounding the principles of economics and political theory at the Junior College. Mrs. Goodman was known for her enthusiastic advisory handling lbuy that A. S. B. or elselll and demonstrated what sincere faculty inter- est in student affairs could do. A sudden feminine interest in Social Studies and Psy- chology was noted when Mr. Gladden was added to the department. Miss Rickard's course in world affairs introduced students to the type of course they would find later on in college. A D FIGURES Resting in the shade of a well-placed elm tree on the J. C. campus, three carefree Math teachers, Dr. Linhart, Mrs. Raymond, and Miss Turley, took time out from their classes to hear Mr. Twogood tell why the chicken crossed the road. lt was never dis- covered just what object he was holding in his hands, but rumor had it that it was a diagram of the quickest method of getting to the Tiger's Den from room lO5 J. C. The complexities of measuring an angle and proving that corresponding sides of congruent triangles are equal, is demon- strated at the left by Mr. Rupel with the aid of his compass as Miss Thorson watch- es for possible errors. The Poly High Math Department turned out math students whose records in branches of the service and other specialized fields attested to its consistently high standards more satisfac- torily than words. Mr. Bruce M. Casey was a great favorite of the boys and girls alike. He was never too busy to talk to them about that special course, or to offer helpful suggestions. His classes, which varied from Plane Geometry to Math Four, were always kept hard at work bisecting angles or busily manipulat- ing slide rules. Mr. Casey's speech con- tained a definite southern element that colored his lectures with such phrases as Hand in yo' papers, or Let's get down to woik.

THEY CRE TED The Art Department included courses cater- ing to everyone from Stick Men Doodlers to students with real talent, such as William Jennings, whose exhibit in the library evoked prophecies of a big future from those who know. The most dependable attestation to his skill was the fact that Mr. Stalder parted with S20 in exchange for two feet of Mr. Jenning's efforts in oil. Mr. Stoever's classes in Landscape found the view behind the Patio and around the Tiger's Den the most worthy of their abilities.

Poly's most accomplished musicians. the console of the organ. BE UTY Rumor had it that Mr. Oaks once blew the hottest trumpet in Oklahoma where he spent his time leading a swing band. This, of course, added greatly to his prestige in the eyes of the Younger Generation. His fine leadership gave Poly a band and orchestra that were received enthusiastically wherever they per- formed. Miss Bird, a graduate of Poly, return- ed to the fold to teach Harmony Classes and Glee Clubs. She directed and arranged scores for the renowned Double-five jive. Mr. Oaks and Miss Bird-devotes of the classics who also knew a little jive is good for you.

Above are English teachers Paine, Brockseiper, Patton, Roblee, and Henry getting a pre ew of the latest. English classes that year accomplished more than pointing out the correct use for who and whom. Orals were the greatest source of sleepless nights and worried expressions, but book reports and spelling lists also caused many new wrinkles on young brows. At the left ltopl Miss Brown and Miss Anderson smiled appreciatively as Miss lSarayl Coates handed them some enthralling message. Mrs. Patterson, fbottom left? a faculty newcomer, took everything in stride even to the extent of enjoying the Book Week display in the main hall with Miss Farrar and Mr. Coons. A CAREER - Whatever their decision-a career, or a home-students found excellent facilities to train them for either one at Poly. Typing, shorthand, filing, bookkeeping, and all other phases of business training were offered by a com- mercial department of genial, popular faculty members. Mr. Young ltop leftl, the comedian at heart, gives his opinion of the Koala staff in a manner that eliminates the possibility of retaliation. Mr. Morrell lcenter leftl branched out into the Social Department for the year but returned long enough to have Miss Elliot help him brush up on the hunt and peck system. Mr. Fullenwider lbottom leftl found jive-talk and hot-rods too much for him and left in the spring for a slight rest from the Younger Generation. Miss Schnee lbottom leftl and Mrs. Ferrall lbottoml were hardier. Miss Ferrall stood guard over her class urging them onward to fabulous speeds l OR A HGME? With meat shortage the order of the day, Home Ec. students and passers-by looked a little wary when they discovered a group of white rats added to the department's facilities. They soon relaxed, however, when they found that it was only Miss Lindsay's way of illustrating to her nutrition classes that this could happen to you. Students watched the effect of food deficiencies on those unfortunate members of the animal kingdom and promptly ran home to eat their spinach, like good boys and girls. Wise Poly females, knowing the proverbial detour to a man's heart and having been told that it helps to know how to keep his toes modestly confined within his socks, flocked to the courses in cooking and sewing. Space between table top and hemline increased as Alice Farnsworth jabbed pins in Joyce Johnson's skirt and Doris Florey just laughed. Home EC. teachers, Proctor, Coleman, Mulkey, Ulr y, Lindsay, Wilson, took time out to sample some freshly made fudge. Sugar rationing didn't seem t ef ct them. 'ff fly! Mob 7l THEY WORKED WITH THEIR lFar leftl. New wrinkles and gray hairs that blossomed on Mr. Mosher's head were accumu- lated when members of the fairer sex were admitted to his auto shop classes. Mr. Rod lleftl bravely endeavored to handle the unruly Spotlight crew, take over completely un- familiar equipment, and turn out work compar- ing with what two printers had handled the year before. lBottoml, Mr. Wigley continued to make mothers happy by teaching their sons the fine art of cedar chest construction. A notice- able quiet prevailed as cars rapped their pipes with less enthusiasm when Don Heath, renowned member of the police force, was added to the faculty. Mr. Carlsen taught general shop and Mr. Mason, machine shop. Mr. Mohn was an eager beaver, teaching mechanical drawing, supervising the camera fiends who filmed the Chaffey game, and advising the soph class officers. With teacher out of the room, Don Jameson and Darwin Cook lfar leftl found time to invent such electrical monstrosities as the one shown here, which from all appearances might be a fly-electri-cuter. At the left, Dan Dwyer seems intent upon com- pleting an unfinished building for the post-war world. HANDS When Polyites viewed the three plays for the year, little did they realize the hours spent in painting, sawing, and hammering required to obtain the de- sired background. Miss Louise Bacon, hep new faculty member, directed this energetic group. The crew - Robert Pratt in particular - gave many hours to make each production a success. They also tugged the curtain up and down at the assemblies. No one was surprised during fifth period to see a couch following the beaten path to the J. C. auditorium carried by an anonymous pair of legs. f 'fy ,N .Q '-K .L to 5 Q ' ' .og ' Nu 5 R - W 1- '. wt' Q ...wifi '- , 4 x i 3' The Q Q'-Nu 1 .J l . w.

Mr. Moreland taught this group methods of producing more crops with less help, and prepared them to contribute to a real and vital phase of the war effort. 4 Each fall a few members of the biology department, like Mar- garet Gish and Alvin Lawson lleftl were seen capering happily about the ground with butterfly nets in hand. Their friends just sighed, said at last-it's come , and calmly waited for the little men in white to bring straight- jackets. Excitement reached its peak when a tarantula broke out of its Miracle Whip home and toured the south hall of the ,, Y. W- I K f Applied Arts building. THEY LEARNED ABOUT BIRDS AND BEES M..-.--i-1 Observing friendly Mr. Jeager at noon, munching a peanut butter sandwich and exchang- ing puns with students, one would hardly have guessed that he was the author of a sci- entific dictionary. Here he is, pointing out something very pertinent about a plant, which the editors couldn't grasp. Mr. Harper took great pride in his assortment of such delightful things as cat skeletons, stuffed hawks, pre- served grasshoppers and algae. He became jittery around frog-disect- ing time, for he was ever-fearful of having to revive some squeemish female student. He found the vicin- ity of Ramona an entertaining place to eat his lunch. Miss DuBeau was always a bit bewildered by the members of this Younger Generation who seemed to be continually en- gaged in some alarming activ- ity. Not that she wasn't fond of them, but whenever she had a spare moment, she scurried back to the comparative peace of her J. C. bacteriology lab. Many students entered the Physics department and prepared, with the aid of everyone's favorite text book lModern Physics by Charles E. Dulll to learn all about sound, light and electricity-found as an added feature of the course an insight into Mr. Barto's brilliant past. Students enjoyed the convenience of having a teacher who was a veritable genius at predicting rain. One very important function of the department was its help in preparing boys for entrance into special fields of the service. Below are teachers Bliss and Barto. Two days each week Mr. Engleman and Miss Cooper took their lives into their hands and bravely entered the dark recesses of 202 J. C. where anything could happen. The victim of countless student comedians, the little man with the big smile could almost always see the funny side. Miss Cooper quietly navigated through broken test tubes and exploding retorts to give students aid and to inform them of the strange coincidence of having found six experiments which were similar to the point of being identical. Y if J' -f .1 , Xi x JJ Y J J J., J' J TJ -1' L.-f --TEST TUBES A D BEAKERS 75 Energetic Poly boys, in an admirable effort to build up their manly muscles, ran energetically around the field en- gaging in whatever sport the season advocated. An integral part of the Phys. Ed. pro- gram was the routine of waiting each day at the foot of the gym steps-young minds ever pondering new methods of getting to the top before the bell rang. THEY ATTAINED H EALTH Some of the best known teachers on the campus were those of the Physical Education department. At the lower left are Coach Steponovich, who surprised all by illustrating his ability at pitching horseshoes, and Coach Mumma, who donned a brilliant green and gold warm-up jacket and rushed away from basketball practice just long enough to have his picture taken. Above right, Mrs. Sharp was obviously wishing on one of the many hay trucks that passed by the sports field lnotice serene expressionl as Mrs. Huntley and Miss Ketchum gazed blissfully up at her. Miss Graber found the mechanisms of the camera more interesting. f THE HEALTH CFFICE lv Mrs. Gilkeson kept affairs running smoothly in her shelter for over-indulgers of Patio hot dogs. She was always busy taping fingers and explaining that her office wasn't a rest home, but sometimes found time for the exchange of a good story with a student such as Gene Schoaf lrightl. LIBRARIANS Hird and Lamb took nickels for overdue books and quietly but firmly evicted patrons who came only to play footie. Their efficient handling of the Library amazed those who knew difficulties under which they labored. VOCATIONAL LUNCH Whether spent standing in line at the lunch standg fight- ing a losing battle at the Patio or Tiger's Deng sliding silently out of the room for an early start to the cafeteriag or just sitting quietly on the grass eating lunch from home, Vocational Lunch proved to be the most popular class of the day. All mentioned modes of spending the noon period land possibly a few not mentionedl proved adequate to meet the situation. The chief drawback in the success of Vocational Lunch was the illegality of leaving the campus at noon Wad some shortages due to iff we Qgl THEY PREP RED THEMSELVES 'A A1 .iff f1.,,,.,:4 Q Z2 ff, YTYT3' ' MC' rf '57 -f - -f 0 aff ,. 9 , '-'- A .,., '- W e v, ' ' gf' I E , - 227 - f f f Q G ' f, 4, 3 ' mr. FOR THE FUTURE Four days each week the Arroyo took on an olive drab color scheme as Reserve Officer's Training Corps units took part in the renowned Battle of Wheelock Field. Members received training and discipline that would later make going less rough when they entered the service. There was a lot of joking about the R. O. boys and while upstairs they even poked fun at themselves but when they won an inspection, or received a promotion they took it seriously-were unashamedly proud. The Reserve Officers Training Corps was managed in part by the student officers shown below. Cadet Lt.-Col. Allen McCollum and Cadet Major John Riegor lleftl checked the latest reports on the whereabouts of Hot- is Although it was rumored that Major Palmer sometimes forgot the name of the Lieutenant Colonel, he ran his unit with an efficiency and thoroughness that won it many honors. shot Charlie's flight over the hump while Sergeant O'Donnell and Cadet Major John Vogelzang lrightl sought a solution to the problem of having to parade through mud puddles.

All of football wasn't thrills and excitement. Tackling dummies and calisthentics were often just plain dull. Remaining at school until five and going home exhausted made studies seem pretty remote. The Crowds and Glory Only Once a Week Pomona and Chaffey Were Listening Too Behind the plays so skillfully executed on the field lay a lot of planning and explanation. Above, with a rare quiet prevailing, Step explains the rights and wrongs of a practice game. But any player, first string or third, would have said that the thrill of watching their team cross the line for a touchdown, like this one and only of the Chaffey game, made up for all the time and labor spent going out.

Left to Right: BILL AULD, L.T.-A senior, Bill maintained full advantage of his 2l0 pounds to give the forward wall that added punch, and made him one of the outstanding Iinemen in the league. MARVIN LEONARD, L.G.-Larger oppon- ents soon found Marvin a tough man to take out of the play as well as a formidable blocker. Although ending the season in third place, the Bears did dominate the all-C. B. L. team, placing four players. Pictured here, obviously happy over the selection, are Don Jameson, Bob Boyd, and Bill Auld. Missing is Burrus Pentoney. SECOND ROW: BOB GRIPKEY, R.T.-Another senior, Bob was moved to the line after playing fullback on last year's championship team. He worked hard and became a strong point at tackle. RANDY STOKE, R. G.-The right side of the junior guard combination, Randy dazed op- ponents with blocking skill and force. FRANK CORONA, L.H.-A senior out for the first time, Frank filled in for the injured Citerella and carried on where he left off. MANAGERS-The one hundred and one tire- some duties that Kenny Knight, Lem Bough- ner and Marion Souters carried out was an absolute necessity to the success of the team. THIRD ROW: MARVIN DREGER, F. B.-Tough and wiry, Marvin put on one of the greatest exhibitions of down-field blocking seen here in years. BURRUS PENTONEY, C.-Proving that the center of the line should be the strongest, second year man Pentoney handled the diffi- cult spot of T formation center with pre- cision accuracy, and backed the line on defense with great skill. DON JAMESON, R.H.-Another speedster, Don followed Boren as a short but powerful half, and playing his second year, proved to be a great defensive as well as offensive man. COACH STEPONOVICH - As the team's most active member, most critical advisor, and most ardent fan, Step lived up to all expectations in upholding his part in the struggle for a repeat championship. BOTTOM ROW: EARL MCCALLUM, R.E.-After a year in the Navy, Earl returned to Poly to take over right end. Enemy runners and passers soon learned respect for Earl's pile-driving force and smart defensive play. BOB BOYD, L.E.-Playing his second year at left end, Bob ruined enemy interference, paved the way for long runs with down field blocking, and stood as a tower of strength on defense at the wing for Poly. LEON PARMA, Q. B.-A senior playing his first year of ball, Leon worked hard to master the fundamentals of a tough position, T formation quarterback. He improved all sea- son, to become one of the best at that spot. JOE CITARELLA, L.H.-Last year's soph flash, Joe started fast on Jordan's record at left half, but a knee injury in the Berdoo game ended football, but never that fighting spirit. Someone said that it would take a real football player to take Jordan's place, and for our money one came along. Riverside opened its varsity football season with a practice tilt with the powerful Santa Ana Saints, and after leading throughout the first half, suc- cumbed to a crushing last half assault that brought victory to the visitors, I9-7. Joe Citarella spearheaded the Bears' attack, and was honored by the Saints when he was chosen on their all- opponents team at the end of the season. Coach Anthony Steponovich's eleven opened its Citrus Belt League season against the Colton Yellowjackets and emerged on the long end of a 27 to I8 count. It was again Citarella who ran wild for the Bears as he accounted for two of the scores. Next came San Bernardino and al- though Poly won 25-O, it was the costliest game of the season as the speedy Citarella suffered a knee in- jury that side-lined him for the rest of the year. Highlights of the game were Don Jameson's 78-yard punt return through the entire Cardinal eleven and the debut of two Polyites, Earl McCallum, a regular in '42 who had just become eligible following a discharge from the Navy, and Art Williams, Bear track star. McCallum turned in one of the top individual performances of the year at end while Williams completely outran the opponents on many occasions. The lowly Redlands Terriers came next and found Riverside quite overcon- fident. ln fact the inspired Terriers had the Bears well holed up until late in the last period.

The Bears then added another TD for good measure to win 20-6. At this point Fate stepped in. Just as the squad was in top shape for the Pomona game a cloudburst broke that caused postponement of the affair, leaving the Bears idle for two weeks prior to the all-important Chaffey tussle, a game which would have a very definite bearing upon first place in the final standings. The breaks favored Chaffey throughout the game on that unforgettable afternoon on Wheelock Field as our Bears went down to their worst defeat in over two years, 26-7. Two pass interceptions, a blocked kick, and a fumble, gave the Tigers their touchdowns. Riverside outgained the new champions all of the way, but to no avail, as Lady Luck was smiling upon Chaffey, and only Chaffey, that day. Poly again found the Pomona jinx too much for them as they drop- ped the season finale to the Red Devils I3-6 as the previous loss had taken all of the pep out of the Bears. The Orange and Green wound up in third place in the C. B. L. standings with a record of three wins and two defeats. Berdoo-A Night to Remember Chaffey-A Day to Forget I . .,.. , , ,,,.

One touch- The Mites Move Up down proved to be all that was needed as the locals went down to their first defeat of the season, 6-0. The season finale saw the Bearlets wind up with a I4-l4 deadlock with Chaffey. Spearheading the Bearlets' attack all season were George Trujillo and Wally Tate, a pair of hard-running backs. Trujillo was acclaimed by many as the best backfield man in the sophomore loop. ln the line it was the great play of Jim O'Neil and Darwin Mullins that stood out. Other bays who figured prominent- ly in the Bearlets' success were Wayne Specht, Kenny Korman, Dick Wadding, Roy Barnett, Lloyd Drake and a host of others. , THE MITES IN FCOTBALL ffw' 1 Lt?

FRANK BROPHY: A junior, Frank teamed with Pentoney to give the Bears the best defensive guard combination in the league, helping many wins with fine backboord work. Frank also was an ex- cellent shot from his guard position. A second string all-CBL member. BOB BOYD: A lanky senior playing his first year of ball, Bob proved an ex- cellent center man, both on offense and defense, playing especially good ball under the basket, also runner-up for all league honors. JACK VOORHIESI Runner-up in league scoring honors, and a unanimous choice for all-CBL forward, Jock, a senior play- ing his first year of ball, demonstrated some of the best under-the-basket work seen here recently, and proved a major link in the chain of victories. ALL ABOUT A The l945 basketball season saw the Poly Bears capture their second suc- cessive Citrus Belt League champion- ship, with a record of nine wins against only one setback in league play. Coach Bill Mumma's pennant winning quintet started off the season by win- ning eight straight games. The tower- ing San Bernardino Cardinals spoiled this streak late in the season, when they suddenly turned red-hot in the third quarter to emerge on the long end of a 24 to I9 score. Riverside opened the season by victim- izing the Redlands Terriers 4l-29 with a great scoring spree in the last period. Chaffey fell before the Orange and Green 37-22 and championship hopes began to blossom. Pomona, pre- viously unbeaten, proved not too tough for the Bears and the Devils were sent back to Pomona with a 37 to 23 defeat.

Poly traveled to Colton for the final game of the first round and made it five in a row as they took the Yellowjackets into camp, 26-l9. To start off the final round the Bears ran their win streak to eight as they smothered Red- lands again, 37-24, hung a 34-22 defeat on Chaf- fey, and clinched the crown by beating the Pomona Red Devils 28-2l. Poly traveled to San Bernardino next and met its only reverse of the year as the Cards could not miss the hoop in that never-to-be- forgotten third period. Final score read Cards 24, Bears l9. The Orange and Green wound up its season by soundly trouncing the Colton Yellowjackets 32-l5. In the race for the free-throw ball, Boyd was the winner by a . small margin over Pomona's guard.

M., I CRE CHAMPS The Poly Bearlets fought their way to a first place tie with the Pomona Imps in the sophomore division of the Citrus Belt League. The Bearlets wound up the season with a record of seven wins in eight attempts. The Bearlets opened the year with a streak of five wins. Playing a double round, the Baby Bears of Coach Bill Mumma won two decisions over the Redlands Pups by the identical scores of 22-l6. San Bernardino's Cardettes saw the Bearlets twice emerge on the long end of the score, 20-14 and 29-22. Colton sophies afforded the Bearlets practically no opposition as they bowed 37-27 and 24-7. Riverside turned in their best and worst performances of the season as they split their two games against Pomona. Winning the first one, the locals looked unbeatable as they ran up a 35-23 final count, while in the second meeting the Bearlets looked not at all as they had in previous games, losing 20 to l6. Lanky Roy Barnett paced the Bearlets in scoring, while Wally Tate and George Trujillo aided considerably. Lowell Eastman and Dick Yeager turned into as good a guard combination as the league could boast. There was plenty of action under the basket at the first Poly -Pomona game as Barnett lleftl and Eastman llOl scramble with a pair of Imps for possession of the ball. Yeager of the Bearlets is on the right. Roy Barnett jumps for the ball in the San Bernardino game as a host of Cardettes gather under the bucket for the same purpose.

DCJWN AT EVANS PARK As spring descended upon the Poly campus much interest was turned to the doings of the Bear baseball team. The Bears, under the direction of Coach Bill Mumma, came up with a team made up of several veterans and a large group of willing, but some- what inexperienced sophomores. Frank White, lanky speedballer, bore the brunt of the Bear pitching chores with Roy Barnett also taking his turn on the mound. Burrus Pentoney handled the catching duties. The in- field was made up of Sonny Rogers on first, Bud Pendergrass on second, George Trujillo at third and Jake Borden at shortstop.

Ponder, who jumped barefoot, was a sure-fire point winner for the Bears all season.

This southpaw fea- tured a fire-ball serve, that had the opposition befuddled most of the time. Jack Voorhies moved over to the tennis courts after basketball season and held down the first singles spot. The fungus-topped veteran gave a good account of himself in all matches. ,rf v Q. Bob Dilday, a newcomer to the racke1 wars, paired with .lay Bush at seconc doubles. Another port-sider, Dilday was elected team captain during the season. ln the spring when a swarm of shirtless figures were seen leaping about the ledges and paths surrounding the tennis courts in search of lost balls, it was understood that the tennis team had begun its practices. After a few weeks they progressed beyond the stage of stratospheric tennis and began to look like a real team. Five returning lettermen made up the nucleus of the team group, which was coached by Bruce Casey. A vet- eran first doubles duo of Bailey and Mitchell gave the Bears strength in this spot, while Bush and Dilday worked into second doubles . Front row: Mitchell, Hannibal, Bush, Bailey, Salyer, Voorhies. Bock row: Casey, Beaver, Miller, King, Wright, Ervin, Drake. Wiki v, i - What could be nicer than a host of returning lettermen to back a team with the benefit of their experience and ability? Coach Hallock found such a situation with the swimming team. Leading the group were Captain Chuck Constable, David Harris, Bill Lewis and Glen Drake, while Wingate, Washburn, Twogood and l-nnes also gave good performances during the season for the water splashers. 9 54 Z' ,,zz..e-we M The Surf Would Have Been Preferable Poised for action are Chuck Constable, John Wingate and John lnnes of the Poly swimming team.

The idea was conceived by Beverly Small who organized it and kept it going at full speed. Every morning eight different alarm clocks went off before the sun had opened its eyes and eight eager individuals rushed to the hospital where they washed and filled water pitchers. The Teen Aid was at first an experiment but due to the enthusiasm of the female clan was made a part of this large organ- ization. Pat Stemler organized the Senior Sponsors who took the bewildered mites under their wings and taught them the ropes of Poly. The Alma Mater and Fight Songs were sung, codes learned, hot rods and flicker discs defined, and perhaps they even got down to football tactics. The inexperienced mites flung many a question at the world wise senior girls and finally learned the ways of Poly. s...iA7T M The Teen-Aid in Action ABOVE: Beverly Small, Patty Wood, Nurse Duffy.

The dances were big affairs with beautiful decorations and good music furnished by outstanding orchestras of that period. At the beginning of the year the younger girls found it hard to ask the boys, but after the first dance it was the seniors who found it hard. Two other big affairs were the Dad and Mother-Daughter Banquets. These were passed off as minor com- pensations for coming in at 2:00 instead of l:O0 at various times during the year. Not to be passed over lightly were the Monday night meetings enjoyed by Hi-Tri and later by Hi-Y. With their formal farewell the seniors graduated and the soph- omores lived happily ever after.

Miriam found that her job included everything . fx Q from laying out and writing the ad section to borrowing voting booths. Their Time - Everyoneis But Their Own The oddities below are the never- say-die pavement pounders of the advertising staff who spent after- noons telling possible advertisers how a half page ad in the Koala would make them millionaires.

Rod Olson and Miriam Webb Once noted for spirited walk, shining eyes and healthy rages, Poor Stalder, as he was later known, became the proverbial mere shadow, after associating with the people on this page. Brave photog Chrichton survived such harrowing experiences as being deserted high on a hill to shoot scenery from the roof of a car whose brakes Hanson had neglected to set-sacrificed Spring vacation and many week nights to print in the K S clammy darkroom.

He is shown at the left with Lor- etta Seelbinder, one of Obert J. Rod's proteges. The day before grades went in there was feverish activity around the desk of popular Spotlight Advisor, Miss Himes. Pencils flew, copy littered the desk and the jovial class turned into a bee-hive. After this grading period the group adjourned to the reference room to copy a few editorials from issues gone by. Shown below are reporters Obermeyer, Settle, Fell- wock, Yohe, Tyler, Wilson, Brooks, Loizeaux. Really a select group! They Got the Work . . . They Got the Story . . .

One member of the group seems to be missing. lt must be the delegate to the convention at the Tiger's Den who is none other than Hardy from lower Duarte! porters between the Spot and the news-hungry students who either read the sheet or owned A. S. B.'s and felt they must receive their money's worth. These distributors translate into Spanish, Latin, French, and Zamboangan, as the situation may demand.

ORTH Bodies tumbled out of closets, murder reigned in the pan- try, and canned lobsters proved the guilt of a notorious killer, as portrayed by Jim Naylor in Mr. and Mrs. North, the seniors' attempt for the year. Evelyn Poyer and Gerald Adix were the principal sleuths in the cop- versus-robber production. For two nights the footlights were kept hot while the seniors outdid each other in looking innocent and acting guilty. Miss Bacon, the new dram teacher, exercised her lungs many times to bring forth the final results. And the student director, Robert Gunn, was near laryngitis when the crucial time came. Dummies hanging from gallows was only one of the ways in which Charles Ferguson turned loose change into tickets. , W of A . f f 'f o Whoever heard of a stage crew that didn't take it easy, , f 1, and Merrill Lindley, Bart Singletary, Lem Bonner, Bob Pratt, '- E 1, !,!?,L!Qp!,f' ll and Johnny Harvath didn't want to be the exceptions to jf 'l ' the rule. When a corpus delecti lPaul Little? was discovered in the closet the ever-ready police department responded splendidly in the form of a policeman lGeorge McCarthyl and the Inspector lBob Flemingl. Possible suspects lleft to rightl such as the Fuller Brushman lBart Singletaryl, Jane Wilson lBetty Pricel, Buono lClarence Truiillol, Timothy Barns lAllen McCulloml, Wilbur Messinger lBen Wilsonl, and Clinton Edwards lJimmy Naylorl, were plentiful and one appeared to be just as guilty as the other. Who Done lt? X Wu Another menace to society was handled by Lieutenant Weigan lBob Schirmerl as he ordered Detective Mullens lGeorge Millerl to handcuff Louis Berex lJohn Byel. But Mr. and Mrs. North lGerald Adix and Evelyn Poyerl and Claire Brent llrene Robinsonl were sure that he wasn't the vicious killer andthe play continued for another act and the lieutenant uncovered the true menace. He Done It! SPRING CREE Came the spring of 45 and with it the junior class' little dramatic effort, Spring Green. Long before the night of the play the J.C. auditorium became a mad- house-actors l?l stumbling over lines, prompters yell- ing cues, technician Pratt pounding happily on the set and Miss Bacon calmly screaming for quiet. But out of what one might at first classify as confusion emerged a program of fine entertainment. Scootie Cassell lBurnadette Nelligan! wasn't going to let any ol' Officer Ryan lDale Humphreys! pinch her worm friend T. Newton Todd lPaul Littlel, and Tony Cassell lMarge Hessl was another obstacle for O' Ryan to overcome.

Muriel Atkins lSydney Vlackl told him how it's done. Dale Humphreys lunexpected male arrivall, Miss Bacon, Mildred Wilson lNellie Blythel, Daphne McGaugh lMelody Lanel, and Marian Haas lAureliaJ got many a laugh out of going over the many comic scenes of the play. A virtuous heroine, a vitamized hero and a vicious villain, complete with a snarl and shiny black moustache, took the leads in the A. S. B. mellodrama. The Curse of an Aching Heart was a combination of hate, pity, poverty, puns, and fun which made for a mad merry-go-round of events. Miss Bacon was quite relieved to see the last of the three headaches for the year come to an end. Jean Bransby, a veteran from the Jr. play, was student director. A woman is never wrong and Sarah Abbernathy llrene Robinsonl proved it to hubb Hiram Abbernathy lRay Fellwockl with little Ugh Redwing lRuth Trammerl as he star witness.

FLEMlNC'S THURSD Y FGLLIES Of course there were assemblies and everything and anything was assembled for the Thursday morning treat by Bob Fleming, the daring master of ceremonies. lt was never determined whether the popularity of the assembly day was due to the entertainment offered or because all class periods were shortened ten minutes. Everything from a male chorus to a Syrian Emily Post was presented to the Polyites through the course of a year and they soon got over being surprised at Fleming's Enterprises.

Whether playing Across the Field to herald a touch- down or just generally banging to signify the end of a yell, the band, under the direction of Captain Jeffries, was a part of football tradition that was irreplaceable. Later in the year the band played in the Spring Contest at U.S.C. where it received a rating of Superior plus, the highest rating given. School bands being an institution noted for squawking trumpets and wheezy clarinets, Poly students appreciated having an organ- ization which demonstrated fine, serious musicianship and smooth, professional performance. l25 Babcock, Bilderback, Taylor, Gordon, Kincell, Skelton, Ellis, Moore, Terry, Parker, Crapper, Henderson, Grabendike, Heard.
