Their luck continues October 15 and Ventura is defeated 6-0. But in meeting Carpinteria again they are defeated 19-6-but that shows improvement, at any rate. For the first time in the year-long history of fencing in S. B. High, fencers from the R.O.T.C. battalion are entering an out-of-town tournament. Ten boys in the fencing team go to the Prep Foil Bouts in Hollywood, October 15. Again, on the twenty-second, four cadets go to Hollywood to participate in the Prep Epee Bouts. Honorary First Lieutenant Jack Murphy is the only one to reach the semi-Hnals. Turning to tennis, the Santa Barbara High School Tennis Varsity, with a select group of six girls and six boys, defeats Taft Saturday, October 3-fifteen matches to none. The News-Press and City Recreation De- partment Hnish off the month with a bang, by putting on a major Halloween party in the stadium, Saturday night, October 30, keeping 3500 kids occupied, entertained, and out of the streets. Games and contests with prizes spon- sored by various clubs include pie-eating, cos- tume contests, pillow-fights, greased pole shin- nying, pushball, tug-of-war, apple-bobbing, and obstacle races. And Reel II closes on October as the crowd of weary youngsters gradually dwindles. VARSITY FENCING TEAM Bottom row: Captain Carpenter. Rhodes, Ashworth. Firestone, Fraser, Thornsberry.
