Qg:tZ,g+i- +'trtais'Lrono'cie1+ 5 + f.g,pi Tennis Tournaments If THE l liW TRAIJITIONS which have come down to us from the first year of our High School's short history, the Tennis Tournaments have been the most in- teresting and successful. Girls ' Tournmen t The entries for this year's tournament were: Miriam Burgess, Violet Watson, lona Berning, Ferue Slaughter, Kathryn Dunkle, Gloria Gurasich, Bertha Peterson and Juanita Gurasich. The first round was very interesting, as some very good playing was brought to the surface. ln the semi-finals Juanita and lona, and Gloria and Miriam were brought to- gether. Iona put up a brave fight, but Juauita's slashing drives were a little too much for l1er. Miriam and Gloria put on a fast and furious match, and, although they were very evenly matched, Miriam finally -came out the winner. ,luauita and Miriam came up in the finals with about equal chances for the champion- ship, but ,luanita proved herself the better. Juanita was also last year's champion, so we were not surprised to see her win again this year. Juanita again gets her name upon the tennis cup, which was donated by the Mary Williams Club last year. Boys ' Tournament The boys signing up for tennis were: Manuel Barba, Jack Hcwer, Roy,Sinith, Glenn Hoover, lfrancis lfeltrop, Marseliuo llernandez, lfrank Baldridge, Ralph German, Jimmy Carlson, Max Patterson, Mike Reyes, Art Gouldiug, Truxtou Ross, Salvador Reyes, Steve Gurasich and Parlane Reid. Everyone shopved very good tennis ability, but, of course, some one had to win. As the tournament progressed the more skillful players became visible, tmtil only Parlane and Francis were left. lt was a very even match and a great deal of good playing was nec-ded on the part of lfrancis to come out the champion. Francis was also the winner of last year's tournament. A beautiful plaque, given by the Avalon l'.T.A., was the tro- Handball The handball tournament was very interesting this year. It showed that Avalon has some very g mod material along that line. The following boys took part: Leslie Grantee-r, liric- Cliff, Ralph German, Manuel Barba, Harry VVharton, Roland Feltrop, Roy llall, Xlike Reyes, ,lack llowdle, Otilio Ortez, Lewis Sullivan, Nicky Marin- coviteh, ,lack Meyers, Charles McClanahan, John Robles, Frank Burgess. All the fellows put up a good tight, but when it came to the finals, Manuel and Mike were left. Mike gave Manuel a good stiff fight, but Manuel had just a little more than Mike. Behold the Champion-Manuel Barba. A Girls' Golf A girls' golf tournament was something new for A. H. S. this year, but the girls showed exceptional skill for beginners. The matches were all very close, the winners getting their holes by close margins. The girls who entered were: Loretta Sullivan, Catherine Macliay, Bernice Smith, Christine Marshall, Elaine Hammond, Mary Reyes, Barbara LeVitl, and Leta Watson. Elaine was the victor when the tournament finally Boys' Golf Although no matches were held with other schools this year, the boys had quite a bit of good practice, and a promising team seems to be looming tip for next year. The boys' Low Medal Golf Tournament, which was held in May, was won by Sal- vador Reyes with a total of 1-l-l for the thirty-six holes. The tournament was very in- teresting, having ten conestauts playing for the huge Beesley Cup, which was donated to the school by Mr. R. M. Walker, a good friend of Avalon High. Those who participated in the golf match were: Ralph German, ISS, Francis Fel- trop, 1683 Truxton Ross, 1955 Edgar Harrison, 185, Parlane Reid, 182, Otilio Ortez, 0005 Toby Garcia, 1685 Bert Scott, 163 5, and last, btttnot least, the winner, Salvador Reyes, 144. phy awarded. l came to a close.
