Amidst much enthusiasm the champions completed their successful day at a banquet at the ,Key Route lun, given by Mr. Nartin. Plans and preparations were immediately set on foot for the Stockton trip the following Saturday. Everyone was greatly elated over our pirates' unequalled record, and looked forward to further honors on the San Joaquin. At six-forty-five on the morning of November fourth, eight machines met at Twenty-second and lflroadway, where the crew and many loyal sup- porters departed for Stockton. Upon arriving at their destination a few hours later, the machines were directed to the Stockton High School where a most hospitable welcome awaited. ln the morning a game between Stock- ton l-ligh and Modesto was witnessed. At noon an excellent lunch was served in the l-ligh School Cafeteria. A team from the Oakland High Schools was picked to play the Stockton team, and a very exciting exhibition of rugby took place, in which the home team was the victor. Following this the crowd of onlookers proceeded to Lake Yosemite, where the different aquatic events were to be staged. Here again the University crew proved itself invincible by defeating, in the drizzling rain, a picked crew from Vocational and Technical. lin the final race of the day a picked crew of all the best rowers present finished three boat-lengths behind the Blue and Gold oars. The crew was royally entertained by the Stockton fellows at their homes for dinner, and then a delightful dance was held at the school gym, The whole trip was one of great pleasure, and we greatly appreciate the hospitality shown by Stockton. VVith the winning of the Regatta and races at Stockton, we feel certain that the crew's work at this odd time of the year has been entirely worth while, for it shows more than ever what the University High School, and more especially what the crew, under the leadership of Captain Martin, can and will do in the future. NORRIS NASH, June '17. Basketball HE fall basketball season seems to have been rather unsuccessful, as far as our team is concerned, on account of the lack of a gymnasium for practice. lmmediately after the close of the football season, a practice was called at the Home Club gymnasium, and about a dozen men out of the thirty enrolled showed up. A few other practices have been held, from time to time since then, and although there have been few men at hand, the team has made a fairly good showing, under the able coaching of Captain Dutch Gilsenan. The First practice game was lost to Richmond High School on the nght of Friday, the twenty-fourth. Although playing a good game from start to finish, our men were handicapped by lack of weight, lack of practice, and injuries received during the game. Dutch, playing at center, a position to which he is a stranger, was'the star of the game for U. H. S., while Walter Reed also gave the spectators many thrills.

A line spring season has been arranged for the team by Manager Andresen, and games have been scheduled with almost every good-sized high school around the bay. This, combined with the fact that arrangements are being made for our school to enter the Alameda County Athletic League and the California lnterscholastic Federation, thus enabling us to compete for the state Inter- scholastic Championship, should be a big drawing-card for basketball in the spring. Don't forget that basketball is one of the school's major sports, and should be as well or better supported than any other form of athletics. So, when Manager Cutey calls for volunteers in january, let's all go out and make the IQI7 basketball team one which will gain a formidable reputation for itself, and carry the Blue and Gold to victory in the league. The Monday Club T XVAS. the spring term of the year 1915. The University High School had seen one successful semester. As yet, however, no clubs had been organized, and when Mrs. Robertson suggested that the girls should start one, everyone took up the idea with enthusiasm. lt was decided that the club should meet on Monday and should be called the Monday Club. This organi- zation has now seen its fourth term. Wfe have grown rapidly this semester. Wfhen fourteen new members were enrolled, our membership reached a total of thirty-three in all. These members have tried to make the club a success- and they have succeeded. At the meetings, which occur each alternate Monday, business is first dis- posed of, and then an interesting program is presented. The Club has also enjoyed several social affairs. Among those given this term was a special program arranged to welcome the new members. A costume party was given by the club on November eleventh at the home of Marguerita Armstrong. On the Twenty-fourth of November the club, under the direction of Mrs. Robertson, gave a very successful jinks in honor of the Freshman girls. Everybody came prepared to laugh and eat, and did both in a highly satisfactory manner. ' The omcers this term are: President, Dorothy Dukesg Vice-President, Eleanor Daviesg Secretary, Bernice Stratton, Treasurer, Lucille Craig. MADELINE JUND, 18. LUCILLE CRAIG, '18
