WOW! I can't believe that today, more or less, it's been sixty-five years since I began my years at Polytechnic High School in San Francisco, California!

Ten or so years ago I rediscovered my felt, black and red (my favorite color combination) Polytechnic High School pennant, which I bought during my first year there, and it brought back hundreds of memories, some good, some not!

I will never forget that first day of high school at the start of the Fall semester with the feeling of exhilarating anticipation of the start of learning about new worlds waiting to be explored combined with the feeling of dread at not knowing what was in store for me. Very paradoxical feelings that have reoccurred throughout my life and offered many wonderful experiences!    


All hail to Polytechnic!

Poly High School & Covid-19

~
I just found out that Covid-19 is effecting even the past. The sixth annual Polytechnic Alumni Association 2020 luncheon which was scheduled for September 12, has been cancelled due to the virus (link below).       
       
NOTICE:

The Polytechnic Alumni Association  2020 luncheon

 
The Polytechnic Alumni Association board of directors deeply regrets canceling this year's luncheon scheduled for September 12, 2020.  It is a huge disappointment for all of us but for health & safety considerations we were unanimous at yesterday's board meeting. The majority of PAA members are senior citizens and even if our event were to be held social distancing would prohibit the usual camaraderie.  We will see you again next year and in the meantime please keep that Polytechnic High School spirit going strong!
