The lowest of human species lSenior class definition! descended upon This Crazy World and soon proceeded to acquaint themselves with their newly adopted home. In the first weeks, much to their chagrin, Senior girls found the eligible males snatched from beneath their very noses by the fairer sex of the class, but, when the newness had worn off, muscle men returned to the fold and life continued as usual. Sport- ing a championship basketball team only further increased the inflated opinion of which some Sophies were guilty. However, those gifted by a Senior speaking acquaintance were held high in the esteem of fellow Gismos. As the year drew to a close, Sophies found themselves fully embraced by their fellow characters, for time had shown upperclassmen that a Gismo was not just a cog in the wheel of Progress but an essential tool in the hands of Time. TH C, YOUNGEST CHARACTERS Presented in the form of a bathing beauty contest, this year's SOPHOMORE DUBBING found Gayland Hood-complete with beach umbrella, shower cap and hairy pins -crowned Miss Gismo of I949. Thus another group of strange little creatures were no longer nameless individuals but official members of Poly's throng. Effort was endless X WERE GISMCS Beauty was bounteous Each spring found a group of little men armed with hose and bucket bound for a region familiar to all. The traditional dirty work presented to the unsuspecting little Sophie was that of SCRUBBING THE R. The huge cement structure gracing Poly's hillside caused many a skinned knee and vio- lent profane outburst. A sudden downpour blithely erased the hours of work, but, nevertheless, it had been done, Sophie men of muscle had proved themselves --and the Gismos were in. THEIRS WAS A LIFE OF Top. Left to right.

Alvin Gunn, Doris Cannon and Pat Younglove making ready for the big night. A great event in the life of every Junior was the long- awaited day when he could proudly display that passport to transportation, the DRlVER'S LICENSE. Weeks of study preceded the grueling test, and, if heart failure had not first claimed its victim, a member of the Motor Vehicle Corps steered the novice through busy downtown traffic and safely back to the Department. For some, the precious document was long in coming, but the daunt- less ones never said die. For them it meant the termina- tion of tired feet and smooching off a buddy when dates were in the offing. For fond parents it meant sleepless nights and a permanent schedule for quiet weekends at home. Come Spring the industrious middlemen, clad in levies and peddle pushers, began the arduous task of preparing the JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM. Football season had found a persuasive and desperate vendor of the Junior class on bended knee begging hungry spectators to buy just one more hot dog, please! The financial problems solved, the worst was yet to come. For weeks preceding the great event, slap of brush upon paper and sound of hammer upon nail issued from the inner sanctums of the admini- stration building. An occasional crash thundered through the edifice as some unsuspecting Junior fell with an ear- splitting thud from the ladder he had seconds before occupied. Smashed thumbs and vehement cuss words culminated the last week of harassed days, but when the great night arrived, the bad times had been forgotten. Soft lights and an old-fashioned garden greeted the critical eye of every Senior when to their older brothers the Atomic Juniors presented their grand and glorious Junior-Senior Prom. IN CHARACTER RAN KS The middleman, go between and all round slave lin one capacity or anotherl of Sophie and Senior alike, was a Junior. Considered in by some authorities but still having much to learn, the Atoms were an aggregation of characters on whose shoulders lay the major responsibility of the Prom and Junior Play. lt 'twere possible, Junior steadies vacillated more than did they in either Sophie or Senior ranks, but after all, it was a lady's privilege to change her mind-and in this case the privilege was exercised freely. At the year's culmination, hay-fever-struck Junior beauties more than gladly composed the daisy chain, accelerating graduation in any way they might, for, with their older brothers liquidated, the Juniors became lords of earth and high heaven. Front row: Mariano Garcia 'vice-presidentl, Wayne Braman lboys' athletic managerl, Pat Younglove lsocial chairmanl, back row: Barry Barnes lpresidentl, Joy Sims 'girls' athletic managerl, Shirlee Gray lsecretaryl, Diane Wade ltreasurerl, and Happy Parsons ldebate manager'-apparently found something to tickle their funny bones while airing themselves after a rousing meeting. mil , has 2 W: ,WWA xg ,U .

To some, the climb had been hard and tiring and the end was a welcome sight, but to the greater majority the three years had slipped away all too quickly and the great, wide world held a maze of unknown, frightening obstacles of life. As Sophs, the Mites had become acclimated the hard way as was required to command even a semblance of respect from upperclassmen. A catchy song aired via the lungs of one Patty Wood officially classified the group-and their careers at Poly had been launched. Junior Mites entered wholeheartedly into the activities of one very busy school life where an icky was one who held less than two offices or belonged to fewer than three thriving organizations. A Junior Play and Junior-Senior Prom as professional as Mr. Disney himself could create, brought cries of joy even from critical Senior members-fitting praise, indeed. Senior Mites, a little more serious, entered their last year of study with a view of college or the professional world in mind. More than one Mite found the closing weeks of high school the most precious and remembered part of his life. A warm summer's night filled with resonant tones of the Alma Mater brought to a generation in whose hands lay the hope of the world, a damp cheek and catch of throat as a small document closed the pages of three years in this crazy but very wonderful world. SENIORS The Mighty Mites may have taken a lot of handling, but DICK YEAGER and WALLY TATE, president and vice-presi- dent respectively of the Senior Class, did a terrific job. lt not only took hard work to keep the Seniors in order, but patience, ingenuity and a sense of humor. No glory was attached to the job, but they did the impossible and saw the Mites through a successful year. For them, the ride was rough For them, the problems were perplexing Senior Night.

Where bedlam reigned there could be found the Commission in another of its famous gatherings. Beating a sizable depression in the table, Student Prexy Bill Mackey demanded order, while, at his side, Commissioner of Records Carol Egly scribbled down the minute details. A continual joke passed between Commissioner of Finance George Moody and House of Advisory President Chuck Birkett, but in a serious mood such problems as trash disposal, carnival preparation, school dances and monetary appropriations were considered, weighed and voted on by the group. TH , gg il s is s - ',., I .4211 COMMISSION MADE PLANS Spotlight Editor Frances Roberts and Koala Editor Joyce Schomberg harangued against the injustices of the publication world, while Commissioner of Entertainment Richard Smith congratulated himself for the superior assemblies obtained this year. Victim of the trying situation of too many meetings, Commissioner of Girls' Welfare Janet Jackson divided her time between her Girls' League and the group in the A. S. B. store. Commissioner of Boys' Welfare Lowell Eastman dangled before the eyes of all the gold basketball and other dividends a member of the Lettermen's Club enjoys. The months came and the months sped on, and still the Commission considered the problems, striving continuously for the development of this crazy, wonderful world. The Commissioners, Moody, Jackson, Clyde ladvisorl, Smith, Schomberg, Birkett, Roberts and Eastman out for a brisk walk on a windy California day seemed, except for a few shutter-happy characters, to have found something more engaging than the camera man, who returned to his dark room a few grey hairs to the good after his session with the group below. Theirs was a life of financial problems, contractual complications, deadline worries and numerous meetings. l l ADVISED BY McEUEN THAYER AND ANDERSEN Familiar to Poly's students are the faces of the three grand people pictured above, MR. F. L. McEUEN, Principal, left, MISS JEAN THAYER, Dean of Girls, and MR. ROY O. ANDERSEN, Vice-Principal.

SOPHOMORE AND JUNIOR COUNCILS In steering their respective classes through troubled waters and calm seas, the Sophomore and Junior class officers were assisted by two councils representing the English classes.

THORSON was always busy as director of the ATTENDANCE OFFICE. The PLACEMENT OFFICE under the guiding hand of MR. SPENGLER and his lovely secretary, did us a wonderful service in finding those jobs which furnished that extra money for Spring vacation. The behind the counter squad of OFFICE HELP-left to right BRAINARD, RASMUSSEN, BENDIKSEN, and FORBES-returned lost books and wallets and helped those confused by the milling crowds. Our apologies to a better- than-good sport, KATHRYN HEINEMAN, whose picture unfortunately is not here.

ON CAMPUS, AND BEHIND THE CCUNTER The CUSTODIANS really tore their hair when they saw how littered our campus had become during lunch hours, but when school days were lengthened ten minutes when trash boxes accidentally caught on fire, we cleaned things up-and fast! lt seemed as if there was no end to all those potatoes which had to be peeled, but, when noon time came, the CAFETERIA STAFF realized that they prepare the most enjoyable part of our school day, our lunches.

La . .. Bus ness teachers ELLIOTT, MATTHEWS, SCHNEE and MORSE escaped the problems met eage students strove to increase their speed of dictation or cut the time required to ty e the m y letters included in the course. Into the realm of the business world stepped the student of TYPING, BOOKKEEPING and SHORTHAND. The long- favored hunt and peck system was soon replaced by 60 words per minute, and the click of key upon paper con- tinued. Balanced books were a student's dream, but two cents deficit caused many to consider seriously the easy way out. Perhaps the most difficult snag in the clerical field was a troublesome system contrived by a gentleman named Gregg. As time drew on, the maze of scratches became quite distinguishable, and the business world gained another among its number. AND THE FARM Future farmers of America found themselves enrolled in the agricultural division of this Crazy World. The proper planting and cultivation of crops, care and improvement of farm machinery and the raising of livestock were included in the course which afforded an outlet for young ideas. Many among the group entered livestock in various exhibits of the county and returned proudly bearing the fruits of their labor. A new agriculture teacher changed the scene usually occupied by Mr. Moreland and also brought new ideas into the course. Many of the pupils found financial needs solved by energy exerted in this field, and some made their way to college where previous training in this course of their choice produced an integral part of the nation's lifeline. CRLAH Ag teacher FROST patiently explained to those who had never been told, that milk doesn't grow in a bottle. 'li if 1-+21 fefffe OUT CF THE TEST TUBE On experiment days almost anything could happen and usually did, as illustrated above when chemistry teacher ENGLEMAN demonstrated to his 6th period class. The complexities of atoms and molecules were explored by the wary students of CHEM- ISTRY. Occasionally the science building took on the appearance of a bedraggled old woman, as chlorine gas poured from l26 or sharp explosions made passers-by fear for their lives. The simplest formulas became tyrannical ogres when the required 40 equa- tions were completed, but the uncommon sense of John l cracking his favorite ruler into a dozen pieces made up for it all. Nowhere could one find this Crazy World more surely at work than in the chemistry sanctuary. The traditional daredevil was ever present and, regardless ot the utmost precautions, found the laboratory very much to his liking. INTO A CHANGING Students entering the realm of PHYSICS and BIOLOGY were prepared for the worst, but decidedly not for what they got. A majority of them had been previously told that they would find themselves chasing grasshoppers, or gazing for hours at a swing- ing pendulum, but they put their informers in a separate class - misinformed characters. When they found they were doing these very things, they put themselves into a class- learned students. Before long they discovered that their textbooks weren't hopeless masses of jumbled words, but, surprisingly enough, lucid statements pertaining to a multitude of subjects over which they were masters- up to a certain point. Known better, perhaps, for the tales he could spin than for the subjects he taught, Physics and Chemistry teacher BARTO divulged to students, Trammell, Stepanek, Edson and Bohren, the secrets of the physical world. WORLD Biology teacher HARPER patiently explained the fine art of butterfly catching to students of the science, Marilyn Dales ri and Constance Boosey. The information they received from their instructors didn't always pertain to the subject at hand, and their questions were often on the comical side, but at the close of the year they considered themselves thoroughly educated in the subject of their choice and hastened out to inform next year's students of the glories of the sciences. LANGUAGES OF RCMANC The SPANISH, FRENCH and LATIN departments of this Crazy World had a variety of benefits to offer those characters entering their domain. A new personality gracing the scene when added to the staff, was Mrs. de Prieto who strangely enough instilled into the minds of the mascu- line element an unusual desire to study, El Camino Reals saw the light of day for the first time in many a year. Senor Booth attempted, too, to pound into those students who had been previously exposed the full comprehension of La Nela and other Spanish novels. The French portion of the department was upheld by Madame Worden and Mon- sieur Galloway. Great advocates of Boyer and Sablon, these two found ways of tricking their unsuspecting students who eventually emerged as Frenchmen with a slight American accent. A cornerstone of the Spanish realm was Louie List, whose wit and ap- preciation of feminine pulchritude gained for him a logical place in the archives of this Crazy World. Latin, too, made its way into the scene. Great expounders of the strug- gle were teachers Gilbert and Finley here shown convincing each other that Latin is of some benefit lof what, the Editors were unable to ascertainl. Numerous tests and translation worries gave the pupil a clearer knowledge of his own tongue and a sound foundation for future study in college. f 1 'U J A 4'15':,,'y if , I Q C mx A, A K ,4 -' I r N '1 K f QQ ui K' gs The light of knowledge unfortu- nately included a course in ENGLISH in those subjects upon which its light was thrown. Underclassmen found themselves enrolled in this subject re- quiring, among other things, extreme mental strain in the form of one com- position after another. lf one was for- tunate, English might terminate its rule of the individual in the Junior year. But a course known in more in- formed sources as English Essentials was presented those individuals who found a small test above and beyond their temporary reach, and so the ex- perts mandatorially recommended a half year's extension of the torture. Fortunate Seniors were privileged to enroll in courses of journalism, speech, and American and English literature where varied reading matter became constant companions. These students surprisingly terminated the year's study highly recommending the course to unsuspecting Junior acquaintances.

AND THE ENGLlSHMAN'S TONGUE i teachers BUTTERFIELD, STOEVER and BUSH quickly look up during a heated sion over the merits of one stick man, THE FINE ART The ART classes of Poly were one glori- ous session after another. What could be better than a brisk walk on a chilly morn with drawing board under one arm and pencils under the other? Many a potential artist risked cutting, but Messrs. Stoever and Butterfield were always there waiting. From DaVinci to Disney the roads of art were long and varied. At the termination of a yeor's study, a skilled and practiced hand was the reward, and, strangely enough, landscape sketching and water- colors were found Iess difficult than previ- ously supposed. Doodles began to look more like something human-if that is possible- and the works of aspiring artists were to be admired. Art was not all hard work but was found to be very interesting at times. Art class is shown below during a project of figure dra OF SNARING A MAN A teaspoon of this, a dash of that and prestol food fit for a kingl The first few attempts often ended in failure, but a few burned fingers and fallen cakes made old salts out of all. The masculine surpassed the fairer sex in many fields, but in sewing, the girls reigned supreme. Designing, modeling and production of garments displayed to all that Adrians of the future were hard at work. As the year drew to a close, potential housewives were prepared for a future where a needle and thread are everyday equipment and where devils food cakes could no longer strike terror to the hearts of the young.

MEN AND The boys who enrolled in SHOP classes were of two groups: those seeking a snap course, and those wishing to learn something. Needless to say, the latter is the exception rather than the rule, but those of the first class were greatly disillusioned. They found mechanical drawing re- quired a brain in workable condition. Machine, auto, wood and electric shop also taxed the mind. The print shop had its usual share of bad luck and deadline rushing, but they turned out credit- able work. No shop class was complete without the inventors, and the monstrosities they turned out were enough to make Lena the Hyena look like an angel. The instructors suffered more than the students, but it was their job and they loved it. Auto shop students, Seinturier and Drake glanced up quickly o their work on the inevitable jalopy to pose for your photog a e MACHINES Morning, noon and night the auditorium re- sounded with one form of racket or another. ln- variably it was Miss Coates or Mr. Hess attempting to formulate from the characters on the stage a semblance of some dramatic effort. Senior mem- bers mysteriously found their way to the buiIding's rooftop, but, of course, they were practicing- and who could doubt the word of a Senior? Play settings were pored over Iaboriously by members of a motley crew who mistakenly had attached themselves to the stage. Their efforts surprisingly reached professional heights and, coupled with the individuals for whose benefit they were made, dramatic efforts at Poly were superb. ,Q .V Pictured in a rare instance when shoes were a part of her costume SARlE COATES aims a vicious firearm at her rival in the worlj of drama, CHESTER HESS, actor and director of everything from soup to nuts. ln the hum of activity the stage crew is pictured below.

The hurried exchange of notes, a last furtive glance at the book and another MATH test was on. For the less mathe- matically minded, Algebra and Geometry proved quite a sufficient knowledge in the field of numbers. Math Ill and IV offered a still greater challenge, and the dauntless ones carried on. Into the night bright lights burned the midnight oil and aspirin was consumed by the boxful as future teachers, engineers, doctors and lawyers conquered their stumbling blocks. Math teachers HILL, DEETER lstandingi, THORSEN and BUCKNUM hurriedly left their slide rules to pose for your cameraman then scurried back to waiting classes where addition and subtraction were the least of worries. PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE Socially speaking, this Crazy World offered many courses to the aspirant of worldly knowledge. Mr. Kutch and Mrs. Mulkey shared the Sociology stu- dents who not only found why people act as they do but the why's and wherefore's ofa happy family tie. Miss Rickard ruled the realm of ancient history and events of current interest, squiring her pupils through the courses of World History and World Affairs. The remaining social teachers were content to laud the glories of Ameri- can history in Social Ill, a course re- quiring a photographic mind or a won- derfully efficient informer. Social teachers JAMES, WILSON, CLYDE, SEVALY, RICKARD, KUTCH and MULKEY recline nonchalantly and smile sweetly, all the while their encyclopedic minds contriving a smalI quiz for next week's assignment. Social teacher Clyde extolled the advantages of American history to his pupils of Social Ill. At the time this picture was snapped, a prize pupil had just cracked a funny, explaining the grin upon the countenance of Poly's favorite Commission adviser. BRAWN One complaint was universal, but until Father Time could remedy the problem, PHYSICAL EDUCATION pupils would trudge down the countless steps where physical exertion awaited them below. Those boys not checked into the sport of the season found themselves flexing manly muscles with balls of every size and weight. Universal attire for such activity was generally the same, for nature's gift of tan was amply bestowed upon manly chests and hairy legs. The girls, too, participated in what- ever sport the season had to offer, generally attired in a pair of shorts badly needing a Rinso white wash or the like. Senior girls, allowed pref- erence of general gym or tennis, clam- ored in great numbers for the courts and proceeded to acquire the skill of one versed in the art of the ball and racquet. The shower bell brought a welcome relief to exhausted bodies. Clean towels and hot showers retrieved the weary individual who again return- ed to waiting classrooms many steps above. The feminine division of P.E. took on two new beauties this year, retained another for the second time and still refused to part with the member who had made the course what it was. The masculine department, too, boasted a new addition in the person of football and track Coach Langley. Mr. Mumma found time to coach bas- ketball, while Poly's pride was coach of the championship basketball team, Orrin Rife, who also found time to spend at the Student Union. Men P. E. teachers MUMMA, LANGLEY, Women P. E. instructors PRATT, KETCHAM, HAMMERSCHMIDT and RIFE, forming a KIEFER, COLE and MERTZ smile sweetly for mutual admination society, heartily enjoy the camera while out for a morning stroll in each others jokes. the Phy. Ed. realm. HEALTH AND WISDCM BRUISES - BANDAGES - BCOKS - BRAINS Aches and pains, skinned knees and bumped shins found their way to the HEALTH OFFICE. More popular than Grand Central Station, this domain became particularly favored when a math or social test not studied for was in the offing. Sponsoring an annual visit of the county tuberculosis unit and a variety of visual educa- tion films, Mrs. Gilkeson, Dr. Corr, and their aids found life a continuous buzz of excitement in their realm of bottles and bandages. An air of silence pervaded the only quiet portion of this Crazy World . . . one had entered the inner sanctuary of the LIBRARY. An oc- casional giggle issued from the region of Sophie girls, but a reprimanding glance soon put a damper on any further outbursts. Friends were met, dates arranged and steadies broken within its four walls. When other diversions didn't require the attention of its occupants, some studying was accomplished. Miss Hird and Mrs. Lamb more than once came to the rescue of a completely bewildered creature who had lost Penrod in the maze and shuffle of the 8lZs. After a year's experience in this labyrinth of books, one felt quite self-assured that, should sufficient time be allowed, he could eventually find the book of his choice. swf 'df k I E K2 Q , -www K ' 4 if-'-mm M .

Q 40 ffl' ,su gl POLY'S MEN OF IRON RICHARD WADDING, R.E.-A lithe player and good blocker, Richard proved valuable both on defense and offense. DICK PRECIADO, R.G.-Preciado proved himself one of the most powerful C.B.L. guards until an injury shelved him when he was most needed. WAYNE BRAMAN, R.E.-A Junior pass- catcher deluxe, Wayne will fill a vital position on next year's team. GEORGE TRUJILLO, F.-An integral part of Poly's team, George ripped through enemy defense with astonishing success, winning for himself a coveted spot on all- C.B.L. lineup. WALLY TATE, L.H.-Wally, a driving left half, carried the ball many times to gain needed yardage for the Bears. WAYNE SPECHT, R.H.-A valuable kick- er, Wayne started the drives down the field with a quick, snappy punt and proved himself in making the needed extra point. ROY BARNETT, C.-Line backer, Roy's powerful build gave the team some of the best defense displayed in many years. CHUCK BIRKETT, Q.-Chuck was one of the C.B.L.'s outstanding players, bolstering team morale in his capacity of calling signals and blocking with incredible suc- cess. KENNY KARMAN, R.T.-A rough, driving player, Kenny proved a good all-round tackle. LOUIS TAVAGLIONE, L.G.- Louie, too, found all-C.B.L. a feather in his cap as he displayed great skill on both offensive and defensive play. MELVIN STREETER, L.E.-Pass snagger extraordinary, Melvin found a place in the cherished second-string all-C.B.L. team. HUBERT WEBB, R.E.-On the field Hubert displayed an envied combination of pass catching as well as defensive work.

JOHN HERRING, L.T.-John was a pow- erful player displaying equal skill on both defense and offense. JEWEL WILLIAMS 'not pictured1--Step- ping into Preciado's shoes when Dick was injured, Jewel quickly proved himself play- ing an excellent game both on defensive and offensive. A Junior playing his first year of varsity ball, Williams will be a valuable part of next year's team. KENNY ROBERTS, Q. Inot pictured - Kenny displayed good passing ability and a punting knack which would return him to next year's team. Riverside opened its Varsity foot- ball season with a practice tilt with Newport Harbor, in which the Sailors were ahead all the way, handing the Bears a hopeless defeat of I9-O. The Bears next tackled the powerful Santa Ana Saints, but were again downed by a score of 30-l2. Coach Langley's team recovered from these defeats with great determi- nation to win their first C.B.L. game with the Redlands Terriers in an excit- ing tiff in which the visitors were trounced by a score of I3-6. Tavag- lione and Trujillo proved themselves worthy of being on the all-C.B.L. team by exceptional ball played in this game and throughout the year. Next the Bears clawed the Pomona Red Devils in the most exciting game of the sea- son. Wally Tate, guard, made a 45- yard dash for a touchdown which re- sulted in a tie of I3-I3 with the Devils in the last minutes of play. The heavier and taller Chaffey Tigers with which the Bears couldn't quite compete, gave the boys their first league defeat by downing them 20-13. After several postponements the Bears tangled with the Colton Yellowjackets and again were stung into submission. Birkett, star quarterback,played commendable ball in this game, but at the sound of the gun, the score stood I3-6 with the visitors the victors. VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM-Left to right.

Ellison and Streeter saved the night by their spectacular ball handling and teamwork, with Ellison making an exciting 65-yard dash for a touchdown which had the fans and coaches going wild. Specht's well-aimed conversion furnished the necessary point which won the game by a score of I3-l2. The Orange and Green ended with a three-way tie for third place in league standing, with a record of one tie, two wins and two defeats. All was not glory The injuries came too GISMCS ON THE FIELD Next year's prospects were brightened by the game football displayed on the sophomore team this year, under the direction of Coaches Mosher and Hammerschmidt. ln their first league game, the Bearlets chalked up a victory of 32-6 against the Redlands' Pups. Pomona's lmps next came to Wheelock Field to give the Bearlets a l9-l4 defeat. The Bearlets traveled the two following weeks and gave the Chaffey Sophs a second victory by a score of l3-6. Next on the agenda were the Colton sophomores, whom the Bearlets had met before the season in a practice tilt. ln the league meeting the Baby Bears again trounced Colton, but San Bernardino followed by conquering PoIy's Bearlets I9-7 in the last game of the season.

Coach Orrin Rife took over the Casaba team for his first year in which he turned out the league winners. Riverside opened the season by defeat- ing the Pomona Jinx Red Devils, 36-32. Spurred on by this accomplishment, they buzzed through San Bernardino 40-30 and through Redlands 45-37. Then came the Chaffey Tigers, who sank their claws into Bear meat for a scanty 37-36 victory, al- though Poly led at halftime 24-16. Not many will forget Riverside's 45-39 victory over Colton. In the overtime period, this was another time Rex Salyer, Poly's ace forward, flipped one in to save the game as he had done in the closing minutes when he made the extra period possible.

Scrappy Hubert Webb was fighting also that night, making the victory possible. To start off the second round, the Orange and Green soundly spanked Chaf- fey 63-5l and with redoubled efforts gave Colton a 56-24 defeat. Redlands came back with their team of giants and nosed out Poly by a long basket, 43-4l. The champs held their name throughout the last two games, eliminating Pomona 38-3l and San Bernardino 3l-22. Poly's champs entered the Whittier C.I.F. playoffs, taking Santa Ana 40-36, but were in trouble with a fast Redondo five which upset the Bears 42-31. the floor, Wally teamed with Webb to create one of the best C.B.L. guard combina- tions.

The Bearlets first clashed with Pomona and were successful in over- whelming the Devils by 34-21. In the second encounter, Poly again sparkled as they won a decided victory by 49-31. Against a hot San Berdoo five, Poly again licked their opponents both times, first 25-18 and second 41-23. The Redbirds were without a doubt the Bearlets' toughest. The Redlands Pups fell twice before the Bearlets, 43-21 first and 35-16 at the second meeting. Next in line came the Chaffey Cubs, a plenty hot team, but from the looks of the score they weren't hot enough. In the first tilt, Poly won 32-26 and 27-21 in the second. Poly ranked high over Colton, 47-30, in the first meeting and 35-22 in the second. Coach Hammerschmidt's boys averaged 38 points per game, with a starting quintet of Verle Sorgen lhigh-point man with 1091 and Pat Little at forward, Ronnie Shumway at center and Merle Harmon and Bruce Nordlund at guard.

CVER THE HURDLE Skimming over the low hurdles in smooth style, Orval Lutz starred for the Orange and Green trackmen as he racked up two fourth places in the C.B.L. meet. Racing over the high hurdles Lutz was in second place, edging out the winner when his toe clipped the last row of hurdles, knocking him to the ground. The Bear took fourth in this division with Plancia taking second for Riverside. Gunn pictured on his way over the bar for another practice pole vault. Placing up among the winners in most of the practice meets, Garcia and his vaulting mate Gunn failed to qualify in the C.B.L. meet held in San Ber- nardino this season. With flexed biceps Preciado pushes the lead shot well out onto the turf. Riverside placed four men in this division in which Dick Pre- ciado and Ralph Polson placed second and fifth respectively in the Citrus Belt League meet. With a little tough luck at the San Bernardino C.B.L. track meet, the Poly cinder- men tied for fourth place with Colton. Bear trackmen who will probably place high among the C.l.F. contestants are Preciado, Streeter, Plan- cia, Webb, Lutz, Middleton and Lofgreen. Top. SOPH TRACK TEAM-Left to right.

Poly, behind the pitching of Merle Harmon and George Trujillo, journeyed to Pomona where they were one of thirty teams entered in the Pomona Tournament. The first of the season found the Bears on the short end of scoring ability, but in the closing period, the powerful batters sallied forth to tie Pomona for first place in C.B.L. standings. fl, BASEBALL TEAM-Left to right j turier, Weist, Trujillo, Lund, Averyt man, Tavaglione.

In spite of having three men faster in their events than others for some years, there wasn't the depth of place winners to give us victory. Poly set a new C.B.L. record in the medley relay, breaking the time from 2:l4 to Z:l2.5. The record was set by Hood, Beck and Grigsby. Paced by team Captain Jay Beck lhigh scorerl, the team beat Santa Ana and Chaffey but placed second to Redlands each time we met.

CN THE CCURTS With six returning Iettermen, Poly's net team started off its C.B.L. season by defeating Colton 7-4. Coached by Bruce Casey, the Bears expect to be high in the standings at the close of the season. Playing the double positions were David Cruickshank and Carl Young. Captain Howard McDonald and David Hullier filled the other double positions. Single positions were taken by Russell Beatty, Paul Schulte, Jack Carnes and Bill Mackey. Tennis star PAUL SCHULTE filling a singles position, takes a try on a serve. A southpaw Junior, RUSSELL BEATTY returns a fast one with a minimum of effort. JACK CARNES, a newcomer to the racquet game, delivers a fast re- turn to his waiting opponent.

I AND FROLIC FOR THE GALS A very important organization of this Crazy World was the Girls' League. Each year taking a worthy cause as the group's project, the League this year worked many long hours sending boxes of food and clothing to French war orphans. With the help of advisories and Girls' League Representatives, S and H green stamps, together with outgrown clothing and nourishing food articles, were collected by the group. Obtained with green stamps, soft wool blankets found their way into all parts of France where the fuel shortage had doomed many to a cold, biting winter. A girl entering school automatically found herself a member of the Girls' League. SENIOR SPONSORS Left to right Front row Kenna Greiner Browning, Brown, Bohren, Brophy, Corey.

Monetary sums, greedily consumed by num- erous factions, remained perpetual thorns in the side of progress. KOALA sales and advertising, bolstered by Business and Advertising Managers TORNELL and WELBON, gradually ascended the ladder and under their expert supervision crawled out of the red. The three very gay individuals pictured below comprised the in- tegral photographic department of one high school annual. BOYD BRISKIN provokingly found it necessary to squire his dates about while taking the night-life pictures on pages IZ4-25. To subject his women to the other characters with which he was forced to associate, proved too much for his sensitive mind, but an irate editor soon changed it for him.
