FLORENCE AVELIN, High Nine. The Hills I love the hills where dew drops sometimes fall. When months have passed the hills once more I ' ll roam, Since the leaves have fallen, the trees look bare and tall, And I do not hear the birds soft calls, So I wander from the hills to home. LA VERNE CALLAGHAN, Low Nine.

ATHLETICS H-9 Boys had a successful season by beating Willard twice, and the faculty twice. The only defeat was at the hands of the Y. M. C. A. instructors. L-9 Girls came out victorious over Willard by beating them two out of three games. It was a good series. L-9 Boys were successful by beating Willard six times and the faculty twice. The faculty pulled through with one defeat. The Y. M. C. A. defeated them once. H-8 Girls beat Willard out of two games. The Willard gals put up a good fight, but couldn ' t equal the home school gals. H-8 Boys took a beating from Willard L-9 when Willard beat them by two games. The H-8 boys beat the L-8 boys only. H-7 Girls only played L-8 gals twice. They won one and lost one. They were both exciting games. Block G Society is a society of boys who have won their block G ' s . The society acts as ushers at all assemblies. They have a dance once a term for the boys in the society. The officers for the term were: Low and High Xine Beat Faculty The Faculty Men lost two games each of the High Nine and Low Nine Volley Ball Teams. Fresh from victories against Willard, our students mowed down the faculty despite excellent playing on the part of Mr. LeTendre, Mr. Triolo, Mr. Voorhees, and Mr. Corley, who sparked the faculty team. Ever popular at Garfield, Noon Leagues were at their best this fall. Under the able supervision of Mr. Corley and Mr. Voorhees, volleyball, passball, and later, basketball were played by everyone at noon. Noon leagues are our favorite sport at Garfield because any student who wishes can compete and have fun and exercise. Bill Maderia . Jim Farrell . John O ' Driscoll Richard Chase President . . .
