GARFIELD GIRLS PLAY EDISON February 10, 1925, the hundred-five and hundred-fifteen pound girls ' teams of the Garfield Junior High School went to Edison to play the first game of the season. The teams were in the Berkeley Junior High School League. Both teams had an equal number of rooters, so that gave them no headway. The Edison hundred-five ' s defeated the Garfield hundred-five ' s, fifteen to seventeen; but the Garf.eld hundred-fifteen ' s defeated the op- posing team by a score of seventeen to eleven, thus making up for the loss. Delia Fisher, L-9-G THE ATHLETIC RALLY An athletic rally was held in the audi- torium, Thursday, March twelfth. Ray- mond Cortelyou, graduate athletic manager of the University of California, and Charles and Lowell Mell, members of the Bruin foot-ball team, were the guests of honor. All three were former students of Garfield. Mr. Hennessey and the Mell brothers ex- changed reminiscences of former days, much to delight of the audience. As a reward for Garfield ' s winning the basket-ball championship, the presentation of a third banner was made by President Gerald Neasham on behalf of the student body. Bouquets were presented to Miss Stout and Miss Nombalais in recognition of their successful work as coaches of the girls teams. Members of the Garfield teams received their block G ' s amidst the cheers of the student body. Henry Whaley, a Garfield alumnus, sang two solos, accompanied by Miss Mabelle Wilson, and several musical selections were given by the band, and the joint boys and girls glee clubs. William Wentworth, L-9-B BASEBALL Garfield started off the season in com- petition with Richmond at Garfield. Though still in practice the team played fast ball behind Tierney, who allowed but two hits. The Richmond twirler was charged with five hits. By an error and a hit we lost to Richmond 2 to 1. Willard and Burbank were trounced un- der a barrage of hits and superior pitching by Irish Tierney, Rowland and Crowe Peacock. The team hit heavily and the scores were all one-sided. In the second clash with Richmond, at Richmond, the Garfield ball team emerged victorious by 1 to 0. Tierney and the Rich- mond southpaw engaged in another duel, Tierney scoring the winning run. Edison competition was keen. They pos- sessed a steady team, well-matched with Garfield. The first game was in their favor until the sixth inning, when a rally was start- ed by Rowland. It came to a climax after eleven hits. The game ended 9 to 4. The

BASKETBALL TEAMS BOYS ' BASKET BALL Our last basket ball season was very successful, Garfield again coming out at the top of the league. Captain Ernest Rowland of the unlimiteds, led his men through eight games, winninr - seven of them. The team was made up of Ernie Rowland, Martin Tierney, Hans Mil- ler, Kenneth Young, Earl Springer, Stephen Gamble, Earl Pratt and John Ransome. The 115-pound team was captained by Les. Barhyte. Les ' s team played eleven games and won eight of them. His team consisted of Gerald Neasham, James Dealey Steven Knox, John White, James Luce, and Roger Scott. They are all good players, Jerry Neasham having played for Garfield last year. On the 105-pound team we had Robert Condon as captain. Bob ' s team, Frank Westphal, Alrik Soderman, George Miller Max Farrar, Laurance Colson, Kenneth Mi- ler and Arnold Lindquist, played eleven games and won nine. All through the basketball season the Student Body Association proved its value It was constantly urging the members to come out and root for their school teams We all know what effect this has on the players, and may attribute some of the school ' s success to its backing. The eighty-fives and ninety-fives had a very successful season. They won most of the games which they played. Our unlimiteds, hundred-fifteens, and hun- dred-fives played altogether ttwenty-nine games. Out of these twenty-nine they won twenty-three. Of course Garfield was for- tunate m having good material for teams, but, nevertheless, we must credit our coaches, captains and the fine Student Body u ? i? having been RIGHT 1 HERE.

John Leary. GARFIELD vs. MILPITAS HIGH Then up came Martin Tierney, The captain of our team, The other guys were frightened And started in to scream. He swung his bat right fiercely And hit the first one out, Right into the left field bleachers For a pretty four-base clout. Our men, they held a rally, And runs, they gathered eight, They also ran around the bags Like a dashing, east-bound freight. They couldn ' t stop the slaughter And called on Johnny Stout, Who stepped into the pitcher ' s box And fanned three batters out. Alvin McKellighan, H-9-K. NOON SPEED BALL LEAGUES Following vacation we returned to school and started playing speed ball. The boys separated into five leagues according to ages, sizes and grades. The leagues each had six teams and each team played thir- teen games. The teams were refereed by boys that were not playing at the time. Every day there were at least eight games going on at once. The names of the teams were those of their respective advisors. The Rushforth team was the winner in Class A, winning eight games, tieing three and losing two with a total of thirty-eight points. Class B division was won by Mrs. Gray ' s advisory with fifty points, winning eleven games, tiemg three and losing one. Class C was won by Miss Kelton ' s advisory with thirty- four points which won eight, lost one and tied one. Class D was won by Mrs. Gavin ' s advisory which won nine, tied four and lost none, making forty-four points. Mrs. Tur- ner ' s advisory walked away with Class E winning eight, losing one and tieing four, and finishing with forty points. The winning teams were awarded their numerals, or stars if they had previously won numerals. Sherlock Hackley, H-9-R. THE TRACK MEET Another year, another track meet, anotner victory for Garfield.
