Boysl Athletics XYICLL educated man is educated physically as well as mentally and in the progressive schools of today athletics play an important part. Ath- letics does not just mean the developing of a winning team but it does mean the participation of the majority of the student body in physical training. At Livermore Union High School this is especially true. XVG have a won- derful new gymnasium built under the direction of our able instructor, Stanley Gibson, where all may receive physical training. Early in the fall we started football practice. Wfe had little material with which to produce a winning team but nevertheless the players tried their hardest. The season was shortg only three games were played. Une was a 12-12 tie with Tracyg the other two were defeats by Pleasanton and Tracy. Rosie Ferrario, our capable yell leader throughout the football and basketball seasons, gave the teams confidence by the yells she led. Our basketball season is always our most successful. Verne Brown, our able captain, led his team to victory four times. The boys were faithful in practice and the result showed their efforts. Our best game was with Stockton High. Although the Stockton team had two players who played with the Amblers when they defeated the Cowboys in a P. A. A. game, Livermore defeated them 22-20. lVe lost one game to Fremont, 18-15, after having defeated them two weeks previous, 26-6. lfVe have no facilities for baseball as yet but are hoping a held will be pro- vided in the near future. Handball is a popular sport at high school and several of our boys have developed into good players. Leno Raboli and Harry Lefever were the cham- pions in our First handball tournament. The boys have built several good horseshoe courts and can now play the well known game called barn yard golf. The grown-ups had better look to their laurels for some of the boys are throwing a wicked shoe. The only game in which we have no champions is tennis and we are hoping to have one in the future.

uniioir Red Cross UNIOR Red Cross activities have played an important part in the Liver- more Union High School during the year 1926-1927. This organization has for its motto 1 Serve, and for its purpose the closer union of men and nations. At the opening of the school year every class of the high school renewed its membership and its subscription to High School Scrifice, the junior Red Cross magazine published for high school students. At this time the grammar school and several district schools also renewed their memberships. 1n October, 1026, Livermore responded to a call for service by tilling 81 boxes with toys and small useful gifts for the children of Guam. Of this number the high school filled -lo, the grammar school 25, Summit 2, May 2, Townsend 2. and the Camp Fire Girls 3. Letters received from the teachers and children in Guam assured us that this type of service is a worthy one. During the Christmas season the -lunior Class dressed fifteen dolls and filled twelve Christmas stockings for the children at Del Valle. At the Christmas pro- gram the major room representatives presented a goodly number of white gifts to Miss Ada lessen, the community nurse. These gifts were later distributed among the poor families of our community. Early in the spring Mr. Lee received from .lunior headquarters in San Fran- cisco, ten boxes of Greek currants. These boxes were handed to the English 3 classes for distribution. Letters to accompany the currants were written by students of these classes and sent to the schools that had participated in the Guam box project. As much of the home service work of the ,lunior Red Cross is carried on through the major rooms, the representatives from these rooms are largely respon- sible for its success. The students this year who deserve special mention are Elvira Holm, Doris Gray, Genevieve Bronner, Rosie Ferrario, Roberta Armstrong. Ida Mae Spencer, and Nora Ferrario. In addition to the Guam boxes and white gifts mentioned above, these girls have supervised the writing of some forty letters to members of the student body and faculty, the sending of three bouquets, the Filling of Thanksgiving boxes, Christmas stockings, and the making of ten cross- word puzzle books. The Girls' League subscribed two dollars to the Mississippi Flood Fund. One of the most interesting and worth-while phases of junior Red Cross work is that of international correspondence. Under the supervision of Miss Reith the English 1 and 2 classes have sent portfolios to and received replies from schools in France, Norway. Latvia, Roumania and japan. Under the direction of Miss Anderson the English 2 and 3 classes have corresponded with Zurich, Switzerlandg Vinderen, Norwayg Ascot Vale, Australia: Sirane, 'lapang and Manila, Philippine lslands. These classes have prepared eight portfolios and have received six. 25
