also doing its utmost toward making the Shakesperian Pageant a big success. It showed its democratic spirit by fostering the athletics, and supporting the English department in its work. This term the school's activities have been confined almost entirely to ath- letics. The Council's prompt purchase of the suits for the football team showed the few fellows who turned out for football that the school had not entirely forgotten them. The inter-class activities have also had their share of support, a cup being put up for the girls, inter-class race. Activities of the school other than athletic, have been very few, the only one of any importance to come before the Council being the publication of the Cub Thus it is easily seen that the student government of this school works for the good of every activity in the school, and that the Student Co-operative Council merits loyal support. CHRISTOPHER -IENKS, '18. Crew NCE again the L'niversity lligh School Crew is triumphant. The Lake championship and aquatic honors are once more ours. lt had previously been decided to omit crew from the regular list of sports for the fall term, but when a Stockton trip and several cups loomed over the horizon, the school, with the old time loyalty, rallied to the support of its oarsmen. Real work commenced about the Erst of September in preparation for the Regatta which was to be held on the twenty-eighth of the following month. Four crews entered the contest. and. by the process of elimination in preliminary races, two crews were to be picked for the finals. Vocational High School, for the Hrst time, put a boat load of huskies on the lake, and won its three preliminary races, and entered the finals. ln our first race of the season, this crew defeated our Blue and Gold men by a half a boat length. A misfortune like this never quells Uni- versity spirit. This defeat, the first the school ever' suffered, only put an extra amount of fight in our men so that when the race with Berkeley High came, the University crew led to the finish by ive lengths. It was then necessary to beat Technical in order to come back at Vocational in the finals. In one of the best races of the season, the University High School crew took the honors from 'Technical by a narrow margin of three feet. A cup now seemed in sight. Only two days before the regatta, the l3ulletin,'l which was presenting the cups, refused to go on with the deal, and left the crews with nothing for which to' work. Pennants were im- mediately provided by the city so that the champions should have something to show for their endeavors. The twenty-eighth brought with it beautiful weather and high hopes of victory. These hopes were soon realized. From the Hrst shot of the gun to the time the flags were passed, the University High School Crew displayed its superior form and crossed the line three boat lengths in advance of the Vocational huskies.
