GIRLS' SPORTS Most of the girls in Luther Burbank have been entering very enthusias- tically into the sports and field activities this semester. The two sports which the girls seem to favor are base-ball and basket-ball. The various games played during the semester have been base-ball,basket-ball, hand-ball, tennis, and horseshoes. The homeroom teams which have won the greatest number of games in basket-ball are home rooms 158, 201, 1302, and 208G in the senior division, and in the junior division are 260 and 154. For base-ball the leading home rooms have been 158, 302, and D.S. 4. The self-testing events which have now brought to aconclusion the class work of the girls' physical education for the semester give an opportunity for each girl in each squad to make her individual record. This semester squad III of period I has received the highest number of points for these self-testing events. Mary Smith is the leader of this squad, and Mildred Caminetti is the team captain. Squad V of period IV with Laur- etta Williams as leader and Roberta Meredith as captain lost by U24 of a point. The following scores, which include all grades, tell who won the highest number of points in each event. For basket-ball goal-shooting two A9's, Claudia Price and Ruth Simonson won, having made a record of 15 baskets a minute..

' Phyllis Thomure, an A7, holds the school record in horseshoes, having made a score of eight out of a possible ten. ' , BOYS' SPORTS Since the opening of Luther Burbank in 1927, sports have played an ever increasingly-active part in the lives of the students. There has been more enthusiasm in the games at noon and after school. The cooperation and sports- manship have grown greatly. Among the various activities of this term have been foot-ball, base-ball, basket-ball, soccer, and volley-ball. - It seems that foot-ball comes first in the minds of the students. In this sport 155 has won the championship for the second consecutive year having never been defeated or scored against. 206 won an undisputed junior cham- pionship but was defeated in the play off by 155. A school record was estab- lished by Jerry DeHoog quarterback for 155 by scoring 18 touchdowns during the season, five of which were made in one game. One of the features in 104's playing was the brilliant kicking of Sterling Hairell. , Base-ban is also an important pastime of the students.

He has hidden it, Hidden it 'way down underground, Where no one would think it could be found. He keeps it there while his strength holds out, Till he grows weary and lets it out. It sets the sky afiame, It rushes out with an angry mind, And the sun goes on and leaves it behind. Katheleen Brumner, B8
