- umm ' ' WH i » ' •! i» ; Calm Briefly Broods Ouer the Quiet Campus And the lazy drone of a bee is heard. , . . But suddenly a bell sounds and, like a volcano on schedule, Poly erupts, spill- ing students over its hill as dashing lava. Over the northern rim go the athletes for their daily work out. To the southeast rush the car owners to the parking lot. A steady stream of bus riders travels seemingly unceasingly westward to brave the Magnolia traffic. The bee ' s hum is unnoticed by the laughing, rushing crowd. . . . Yet within a matter of minutes the crisis is over, and only a few fragments remain in the form of committee and club meetings. . . . Poly gradually settles down for the night. Its purpose and spark will return, as always, in the morning.

In Memoriam CHARLES G. BARTO Th e TiS|t C Cigres through the trees of the darkened campus --a campus on which he spent hrrteen years of a life which he dedicated to his family, to his students, and to his many ather friends. . . . And now that he has left us, we search for words to speak of him, yet find vords at loss. But here, in part and deeply meant, are our thoughts of him: My friend before me, in all save breath. Seems the same as yesterday, I gaze on him and gently say: He sleeps; and soon he will arise and take Me by the hand. I know he will awake And smile on me as he did yesterday; And he will have some gentle word to say. Some kindly deed to do; for loving thought Was warp and woof of which his life was wrought. He is not dead. Such souls forever live In boundless measure of the love they give.

f This Wasn t the A distant view of a group of buildings scattered over a sunny California hill may appear to be somewhat insignificant. Seldom do many people stop long enough to realize that there are over 3,000 beating hearts and thinking young minds within this seventy acre boundary. Here is the potential machinery to run our future society: a motley group of students, all with ideas, goals, and achievements. Here at Poly is where we grow, where our foundations are formed to prepare for future building in the adult world. Here is Poly, our high school, where we spend three important years of our lives in concentrating on learning, growing, and improving. ■ 1 -
