El- SUSURRO L!!i!M!,?L!.?l!?L!M!.?!l Zfxtbletics S2365 . After the Christmas holidays the interest of the boys was cen- tered on basket ball. Games were arranged with the Grammar School, the Pacific Grove first and second High School teams, and the Grove Academy. We lost the first game to the Grove sec- ond team with a score of 29-20. The second game was forfeited to us. The only other team which gave us a hard game was our Grammar School, score 16-ll favor of us. Q On account of the interest in basket ball, track work was ne- glected, with the result that we only entered one candidate in the meet, whose shoe came off shortly after he started the half mile, thereforel! ! 11 at ? ?:! ! bang. We have earnestly started base ball practice, and are working hard to win back the trophy cup which we won in '08, and lost in '09. The only league game played so far was lost to Santa Cruz, 8-ll. This was not to be wondered at, however, as our first and second baseman and shortstop could not play the whole game. We fully expect to win every game after this, as our team will be com- pletely organized. a G G Girls' Basket Ball This year we girls have gone in good and hard for basket ball, and with the good coaching of Miss Boulware have risen to a point where we can make a good showing. ' Our first outside game was with the San Carlos team. We played on their court to our disadvantage, for it was smaller than ours and their baskets had been put up, upside down. The score was 21-23 in their favor. We do not feel that this score shows the relative merits of the two teams, but we have never been able to get a return game in which to show what our team can do. ' On March 25th the Pacific Grove team played us a practice game on our court. The score was 2-10 in our favor. We are at present playing a set of five games for a pennant of- fered by Phegley-Hutchinson to the winning team. We have played three, at the time of going to press. The Grove has won two, and our team one, but our girls are working hard to get that pennant. The Monterey Grammar School team have been quite an aid to us in furnishing us with excellent practice games. The line-up is as follows: Josephine Morgan Ccenterb, Rachel Moore, Enid Best tguardsl, Josephine DeCarli, Arma Loeber Cforwardb, Elizabeth Easton, Lucy Harmon, Fern DeWitt Csubsb, 23

El- SUSURR0 resenkation Speech E K Miss Gladys Davies was the successful competitor in the farce writing contest. Her farce, entitled Our Foot Ball Boys, was chosen by the judges because it was the one best suited to acting. On behalf of the Senior Class of 1910, I have the honor and great pleasure in presenting to Miss Gladys Davies this medal, which has been awarded her. I hope, Miss Davies, this medal will ever be a reminder of the efficient literary work you did in our old Monterey High School. Aufed W. Lee, '10. Elpe Tina On a rocky point, quite near the sea, A lonely pine tree stands, Tall, majestic, and stately. 'Ganist a background of water and land. - its roots, in rock imbeded firm, Will hold for many a year, They are faithfully serving their term, To the life of the old pine are dear. Then, by the ocean breezes, Which 'mong the breezes play, They become gnarled and knotted, And toward the inland sway. lts lower branches all decayed Are broken by wind and spray, While those above are hung with moss, Giving contrast in green and gray. This tree resisted many a storm, As we should resist temptation And be in life never forlorn, But strive for a firm foundation. M. A. O., 'l0. 22
