' JIS To keep in stride with the other teams, our swimming team started the season with a victory too, by nosing out the L. A. High team, 35-31. This was the second straight year we won from them, and in both meets the outcome depended on the final relay . The next day our second string boys were given a chance to show what they could do, and they showed they could do plenty, for the final score read 40-8 with hiarvard the loser. The grade school boys proved that it would be a long time before Flintridge would be lacking in swimmers by just as soundly trouncing hHarvard ' s lower classmen. To finish a very successful week for Flintridge in sports, the golf team Saturday defeated the P. J. C. Frosh, 18-6. Outstanding in the meet was Bob hiampton, who shot a 78. On Friday night, April 19th, our swimming team won the Pasadena fHigh School Championship by trouncing South Pasadena and P. J. C. Frosh in a three-way meet. Our paddlers won all but two events, with Jim Gamble pulling a surprise in winning the breast stroke. For the second successive week the golf team followed a Friday swimming vic- tory with a Saturday golf win, this time showing Eliot fHigh the way by a score of 27-9. April 27, 1940 was the date our swimming team was crowned Prep League Champion for the third successive time. Our boys won every event but the diving and set new records in all of them. The final score was Flintridge 65, S. C. M. A. 15, and Dewey 9. Thus we gained permanent possession of the trophy for three wins in a row. In a return match with South Pasadena ' s swimming team, our boys proved superiority lasts for more than a day, by again being victors, 40-33, on May 2. Either the teachers got tired or generous as they relinquished their positions to the Seniors on Student Government Day May 4. The next day our third League Championship for the year was won as our golf team most convincingly defeated all comers. May 7 was ' ditch day ' for the C. S. F. members who went to FHollywood to Twentieth Century-Fox Studios. As this annual goes to press May 7 there are a number of important events still to happen. Blanks are therefore left for you to write in the scores after publication. On May 10 our swimmers journey to Black-Foxe for the private school champion- ship of Southern California. Although only time will tell the tale, we have high hopes. Flintridge ' s position was May 25 will see the tennis championship of the League. As our team has had no matches as yet, nothing can be said one way or the other. Winner in singles 65
