Behind the steady pitching of F. W. Wilson, 155 won three consecutive championships, while 258 stormed through to a championship in the fourth round, Don Pulford being undoubtedly the outstanding figure both in hitting and pitching. Soccer hasn't been as popular as the other activities, although some of the teams enjoyed it immensely. Basket-ball is another of the favorite sports. Every team is striving to win a letter in this activity. There are many strong teams playing an active part here. Volley-ball has been the least patronized among the activities. It has been played ,at noon along with baseball. H. R. 109 is the leading team in this sport. In each of the afterschool sports 100 points are given to the winners in each division, while at noon only 50 points are awarded the home room which collects the greatest number of points receives the school achievement banner, which is awarded each year to the winning team. During the semester a good-sized group of boys was organized for both tumbling and pyramids. These boys appeared publicly only once, on Fathers' Night, at which time they proved a decided attraction. The tumblers have done more advanced work this year than heretofore. The pyramids have had new equipment in the form of double ladders and two six-foot iron rings which has enabled them to make some new and interesting designs. 1lC0 THE GLANCER Extra! Extra! The depression is over! If you don't believe it, just ask one of the poor A9's who has recently completed an essay, or who has, per- haps, been struggling through the final exams. It's quite a job to have to con- centrate on The Development of Education in Los Angeles , An Oil Well Is Dug , or some similar headache and at the same time vaguely try to recall whether Disgustavus Adolphus was a general in the Civil War or a seaport in Switzerland. Yes, every cloud has a silver lining: so, the A9's will please join in the chorus, Happy Days Are Here Again'. -c THE DRAMA CLASS As the culmination of many weeks of hard -work, study, and practice, the drama class under the direction of Miss Constance Campbell presented on the afternoon of December 4 the delightful comedy, The Knave of Hearts . In this play the entire class participated, the leading parts were played by James Allan who represented the king, Elizabeth Wagner the queen, and Leo Lava- telli in the title role of the knave himself. The class has tried to realize certain objectives in all the Work of the term. These have been as follows: to develope clear speech, to present pantomines in order to fit the action to the words in plays, to tell stories for the purpose of giving ease and informality to the individual, to present plays and pro- grams in order to give self-confidence to the actors.
