Assistant Business Manager IIE year is swiftly rolling by and we are near- ing the day when we shall say farewell to the graduates of '08, A feeling of sadness comes over us as we think of the short time. Alas, but it is all too soon! I lt is with pleasure that we plaee before the public our fourth Annual. and we sincerely hope that our efforts will merit their approval. As editors of this Annual in behalf of the school, we desire to thank those who have so kindly con- tributed to it. We close this term hoping Fortune will have greater things in store for Liberty l'nion High School in the future than in the past since we now have a fully equipped and up-to-date building. We again and again thank those, espeeially the trustees. who have so faithfully labored for our interest in the way of a new building. We feel it is not only a eredit and pleasure to them and us, but also to the entire community. The business managers desire to thank the busi- ness people who have so generously responded with ads.. thus making it possible for us to publish the fourth Annual. We hope they may be doubly paid for the lil'eral subscriptions they have given us. Vtle indeed feel it is the duty of every friend of the lligh Sehool to patronize the advertisers as far as possible. Again we thank the friends and patrons of the Liberty l'nion lligh School of Brentwood. URING the past three years the Annual has been used to remind you of our need of a new building. This year we want to thank all for the building provided for us. Those who have visited our old quarters and who will visit us in our new place. and we hope they will do so, need no explanation about the benefits of the present accommodations. Those who have read our previous Annuals and who will visit us now can readily see the improvements. To those who have had neither of these pleasures we invite them to visit us now and pass judgment whether our accommoda- tions can be improved upon. Perhaps it would be well to name a few of the improvements. The greatest improvements are the separation from the grammar school and the location in a place where we will not conflict with any one. The spacious rooms, good light, well heated and well-ventilated rooms add a general enlightened tone to our work. Next year with our library more com- plete and the modern-fitted laboratories. all studies ean be taken up thoroughly. These are only a few of the benefits which we are now enjoying. VVe wish to thank the trustees. to whom we are indebted for our present comforts. and also those who have helped in this matter. To the Woman 's Vlub we are indeed grateful for the kind interest they have manifested in our welfare and the help they have given us.

Athletics HE pupils of the Liberty llnion High School have taken no interest in any athletic sports except in baseball. but great has been the enthusiasm in this line. Our first opponents were the members of the Riverview High School team. whom we encountered on September l-l. 1907. We won the game by the score of 7 to fl. The best our opponents could do was to get a man on third base. but by clever playing they were never allowed to cross the home plate. l'pon the arrival of the visiting team and their friends. we were all invited to partake of a delicious luncheon. which had been prepared by the girls of our high school. VVe next' tested our strength with the members of the Mount Diablo Union High School team at Con- cord. VVe went in a body to this place. leaving the depot at 8. but owing to a delay at Avon we did not reach our destination until l o'clock. Before proceeding to the field we were shown through their new high school building, and were then invited to a banquet. which proved to be a veritable feast. VVe then repaired to the diamond. where we came off victorious with a score of 16 to 5. Owing to the late- ness of our arrival and the length of the game we had to make a very hurried departure. and suc- ceeded in catching our train only through the kind- ness of the conductor. who held his train for us. Three weeks later. October 12. we niet the baseball club of the Richmond High. with whom we contested for the championship of Contra Costa County. Vtfc succeeded in winning an uninteresting game. the score being 19 to 8. Thus did we win the champion- ship of the County. Our line-up for the past year was as follows: R. Nunn. pitcherg J. Barkley. catcherg R.. Shafer. first baseg E. Shafer. second baseg F. Nunn. third bascg G. Barkley. shortstopg Robert Wallac.-e. left fieldg D. Pemberton. center fieldg M. Ditfin. right field. We were unable to get any more games after the Richmond game. so could gather no more scalps to hang on our victorious belt. This spring we have received challenges from the Oakland. Mount Diablo. and Richmond high schools. but owing to the absence of our catcher. Barkley. and Fielder Pemberton and others who. on account of sickness will be unable to play. we will not be able to respond. The girls of Liberty Union High School and the faculty showed a marked interest in the games last year. and this proved a very great help to us, their enthusiasm inspiring us to put forth our very best efforts. If they manifest the same interest this coming year we will develop a strong team and carry off the baseball honors again.
