California Scholastic Federation The CSF. members, the honor students of the school, were in the first semes- ter, Ben Earl, lim Gamble, Chuck Detoy, and Dick Markham. After some indecision it was decided that, on their much envied ditch day, they would go to the Douglas Aircraft factory. This was a real privilege in View of the fact that the present war time operations prevent the general public from inspecting the plant. On February llth, the group led by Mr. Dickenson drove down to Santa Monica. One of the highlights of the trip was seeing the tremendous new bomber, the B-l9, which was a that time under construction.

Kenneth Hunter was also seen crashing around at peril to life and limb when Demon Study l-fall did not beckon. ln the first game of the season, on Ianuary lU, against Oneonta M. A. at the Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, Flintridge gave a fine demonstration of touching sportsmanship in being unwilling to deliver a sound trouncing to their vastly inferior rivals.
