Two tournaments were held, one taking place in the fall, and one in the spring. A new ladder with sixteen movable slips bearing the names of players according to their position was used. Because the girls were playing for a place on this ladder, keen interest was aroused. The results of the tournaments, ar¬ ranged by Miss Iva Liston, placed the contestants. A very unusual and outstanding record, seldom equalled anywhere, has been set by Eleanor Morris, who has won the Girls ' Tennis Championship for four consecutive years. The BOYS ' tennis team under the guidance of Coach Webb made a very impressive record this year. Tournaments with many strong teams, including Hayward, San Leandro, San Jose, and Santa Clara, were arranged by Robert Salz, student manager. Though the boys had a heavy schedule, they won the majority of their matches and showed up well in their second year of interscho- lastic competition. The first four places, determined by a tournament, were held by Dale Lay- bourne, Robert Salz, Robert Ziegler, and Jack Rathbone respectively. The other boys played in doubles. The first match of the year was played with Amador, and gave the boys a clean sweep victory. [ 52 ]

Girls’ Sports UNDER the capable supervision and instruction of Miss Liston, the girls have had a very interesting year in the field of athletics. The physical education program has been a broad one, including not only games such as speedball, volleyball, basketball, tennis, hockey, and baseball but also calisthenics, and tap-dancing. The girls ' sport year started in the fall with speedball. The addition of a new turf field made the game safer and more enjoyable. Interperiod games were played after school. After many hard-fought games, first and second period classes were left to play for the championship. Excellent games were played by both periods but first period was victorious. Basketball management was carried on as before by electing a captain and manager in each period. Interperiod games wfere played in the gymnasium after school with tournament schedules arranged as usual. First and second periods were again in the finals. This championship game proved very exciting with the two teams keeping the scores fairly even throughout the game. Both teams played hard to the last, but first period shot a goal in the last second winning by the two points scored thus. The captain for the first period was Irma Leal; manager, Lorraine Houck. Volleyball brought new champions. It almost seemed that first and second should meet again, but the two teams had not figured on any competition from third period. Third met second period for the championship, and third won by reason of excellent playing. Third period was captained by Adeline Amaral and managed by Irene Williams. Both the fall and spring tennis tournaments proved to be of interest. Byrde Morris won the tennis championship for the fourth consecutive year—thus set¬ ting an all-time record. She defeated Shizu Mitsuyoshi in the finals. Next on the tennis ladder come Irma Hodges and Olga Gronley in the order named. Croquet was played this year. The only girls eligible for competition were those who have restrictive gym. Hockey, a new sport in this school, the equipment for which was received early in the year, and baseball were played during the spring term. Bernice Peixotto, Girls ' Athletic Manager for the 1934-35 season has handled all athletic affairs very capably. Play Day, which she arranged, was an out¬ standing success. [ 54 ]
