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

The Girls' Crew ARLY in the term about thirty girls were organized into a rowing club under Eleanor Davies as captain, and Madge McDermed and Marguerita Armstrong as coxswains. For a while no distinction was made between the crews. The girls showed a keen interest by being at the lake for every practice. To stir up a spirit of rivalry the girls drew lots for two crews, to be called the Blues and the Golds, and the Student Council appropriated Five dollars for a cup which was to be a trophy for the victorius crew. Un November 9th the Golds won the interclass row by two boat lengths and on the following Tuesday the Blues showed a line losing spirit by giving a picinc spread to the winners. The aifair was highly enjoyed by both crews. In the regatta of October 28th our crew, picked from the Blues and Golds, made a good showing considering the unevenness of the start. Wfith more steady practice these crews promise to be the best on the lake. lf they improve over this term as they did over the last, they stand a splendid chance in the Enquire Regatta in April. KATHARINE MERRIAM, December '18 Our School Library UR school library has grown rapidly during the last two years. From a number of hooks in a bookcase, inuthe hall, under the charge of Miss Breck, it grew to a small library, under the supervision of a few students, and tinally into a busy, ever-increasing library, under a special librarian, even now fast outgrowing the room devoted wholly to its use. Q If the library were closed for one clay, we would realize the vital part it plays in the every-day routine of this school. Once used to it we should find it very hard to get along without it. It is so convenient to have material close at hand and ready for you at any time and the best of all is you have Miss Price and the card catalog to help you find just what you want. The time was when we did get along without a library, but we lacked the interest in our studies that books, other than text, could give us. The interest in present-day happenings is usually the keenest in almost all of us and in our library you can get the best ideas of what the people in the world are doing now-a-days, posted and classified for you. Xlfhen one comes down to bare facts, if we didn't have any books we wouldn't have any school. Books have been the means of spreading civilization and learning, and if we fully appreciate them we should take interest in the growth of the school library. KATHERINE MERRIAM, December '18.
