Last year, Marshall Learn was the winner of a silver loving cup as a result of his victory in the boys' tennis competition. However, the tennis stars of the school indulged in no interscholastic competition. This year, tournaments will he arranged with other high schools in the vicinity of Hamburg.

So, after all the girls interested in the sport played olt a tournament, the six who proved themselves tl1e most apt with the racquet were othcially announced as the Girls' Tennis Team of '26, They immediately brought more honor and glory to Hamburg High School by defeat- ing East Aurora, in a tournament, and Ubringing home the haeoni' in the shape of a cup. which was ottered by the two schools, jointly. Such a good beginning in a good sport is not to be abandoned.
