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!
