'gf' Ti' N 'E 'tu- ANNUAL Through the years lrom 1935 to the present the evolut' ' as constantly piogressed from a nnmeographed book with pictures pasted on each leal' to the present edition with its two colors and its printed cuts. There has been much improvement in the pictures themselves since they are ol' a more timely and candid nature. Then, too, this year in place ol' the usual horoscope a page of cartoons adds a cheery note to the staff's copy. In addition to the posed pictures there are even more snaps than have appeared in any other Annual. A small school is at a great disadvantage in putting out an Annual because the two major costs ol' engravin l l , . . K g anc typesetting are the same whether one or a thousand books are printed. The small school has these costs but does not. have the possibility for sales volume to bal' f ' ' ' K ' ance thcm. Ihe cost ol the book to the student is less than hall its cost of publication Ther f . . e are ew instances where the purchaser gets more for his money. There is some question of the price, however, and some tendency to sponsor a less expensive book. Regardless ol' what changes are made this coming year, the stafl' of the l939 Eagle sincerely hopes that the Annual's standard of value will, if anything, be increased.

'1- lllilltIDtDlll3SClllllE5llllQQWi 'Iihe middleweights were the outstanding team this year with victories over Fowler, Lemoore, Coalinga, and Caruthers. They were considered one of the best B teams in the history of the school but lost the Division title to Parlier by one point when the Panthers, unable to pierce the Riverdale defense, suddenly clicked on a long range second half barrage. Neilsen, Covey and Gill were the scoring trio. Neilsen was high point man. The sliding zone defense with Gobby and Mendes at the guard positions was practically impenetrable. The last breaking offense was also verv effectiva md ell l . . I ,, e 2 sp, ec defeat for many statistically superior teams. The heavyweight hoopsters were the hard luck team, and twelve points properly distributed would have given them the Division title. Captain Ginn's experience and agility enabled him to make manv good shots. McKean did exceedingly well also. Cook and McVicar, guards, played fine ball lioth defensively and offensively. The lightweights were handicapped due to inexperience, although -some of the C's put on promising performances an-l scored a victory over 'l'ranquillit,y, Although Ginn, McVicar and Cook will be hard to replace. prospects for a strong varsity next year are good provided McKean, Neilsen, Gill anl C ll f- ' t ro J my develop as they should.
