A relurn io +he A, B, C, meihod of grading was lhe main change in school policies. The counselling syslem was made more compleie by designaiing diflereni counsellors for each class and giving rhem deiinile periods for ihis worlr. Mourned by fellow facully members wilh whom she worked, as well as by sludenls who had ihe privi- lege of worlcing under her, was ihe deaih of Miss Ivy Ross.

Four volleyball, two baseball, and fwo horseshoe teams represenfed Modesfo in friendly com- bat against seven schools meeting at Turlock. Not content with a day on the athletic field, the Girls' Afhletic Association members held their annual Halloween parfy at the Machado Ranch. The girls, clad in their oldest clofhes, played games, sang, and consumed refresh- ments. A hockey playday at Stockton was the next event on the girls' calendar.

No barker ever talked more fluently or widely than have the public speakers who made Modesto High School well known wherever they competed this year. An outstanding feature ot the year's ac- tivities was the large number ot students who parti- cipated in debating, extemporaneous speaking, ora- tory, and Shakespearean divisions. The debate season on the subiect ot the exten. sion of consumer cooperatives opened with the an- nual Lowell debates, held at that school this year. Lorraine Rossi, Fay Rice, Peggy Boothe, and Terrell Tennant participated in these non-decision clashes. A group ot eighteen upper class and twelve lower class debaters competed against eleven schools in the Fall tournament held here in December. Be- sides being the host, Modesto wasithe victor, tor Margaret Stimmann and John Baird, debating both sides, deteated a Bakersfield team in the tinals. Modesto speakers next turned their attention to the school extemporaneous speaking contest. ln the school tinals, Margaret Stimmann, speaking on Jo- seph Stalin, was named winner with John Baird tak- ing second. Eight students represented Modesto at the interscholastic contest at Tracy. Here, John Baird won tirst prize, Ferris Boothe was awarded second place and Margaret Stimmann took tourth place. Returning trom this triumph, the speakers settled down to prepare themselves on the spring debate question ot government ownership ot the railroads. With less than a month ot preparation, twenty- six local debaters argued pro and con in the tourna- ment at Ripon. Two Modesto teams survived the preliminaries, but did not reach the tinals. Seven teams upheld Modesto torensically at the Fresno State College tournament. The top team of Marga- ret Stimmann and Ferris Boothe were narrowly cle- teated in the tinals by the Southern champion Bakerstield boys, while John Shull and Terrell Ten- Pnblic Speaking Coaches Miss Evelyn Bright, Miss argaret Painter, Mr. James Fisher-Northrup, 11 . nanl' look 'fourth place. The resulis were nearly identical at the San Francisco Slate tournament wilh Modesto being defeated by a Lowell team in the final round. The official Naiional Forensic League fourna- ment at fhe College of Pacific wound up the debat- ing season. Oi Modes'l'o's fhree teams, two survived the preliminaries without defeat The nex+ day, Slim- mann and Boothe had two losses, which pul lhem in fourlh place, and Shull and Tennant came through wilh a 'lie for second by virtue of only one loss. They 'lhus won'the right lo enler the national tourna- ment at Terre Haute, Indiana, as did Sfanley Wil- son who won a second place medal in oratorical declamalion. The school oralorical contest was the next evenl' of interest. ln the finals in assembly, Ferris Booihe emerged victorious wiih Margarei Stimmann and Bradley Campbell tying for second honors. Together with seven semi-finalisls, fhe six finalists compeled in the Central Valley California oratory meet in Madera. Competing against seven others, Camp- bell won second prize in a close decision. Sfill more speaking honors were won for Mo- desto by Joy Smith and Walter Fields who cap- lurecl first places in the couniy Shakespearean con- test. Besides debating actively, the lower-classmen held an exlemporaneous speaking conlest in which fifly-one competed. Lee Brooks emerged lhe vicior in the finals with lmogene Brown second. As head public-speaking coach, Miss Margaret Painier deserves much of The credil' for her ac+ivi+y's success. She was given invaluable aid during the year by Miss Evelyn Bright, debating, extemporan- eousq Miss Margarel Hosletler and Clyde Kimball, lower-class debating, Miss Barbara Perry, lower- class exfemporaneousg and James Fisher-Northrup, Shakespearean.

On April Fools' Day, innocenl sludenls were handed a descriplion-defying sheel' wilh reversed heads, up-side- down copy, and incoherenl arlicles.

Through. lhe medium of piclures and prinf, lhis book allempfs lo depicr every acl in lhe 'lhree-ring circus lhal' is a modern high school. Virginia Garrison, whose sense of humor is exceeded only by her sense of yearbooks, ably advised all lhe aclivily lhal goes info an annual. Early in lhe Fall, when Sycamore Day seemed very remole, lhe foundalion of lhe l94O yearbook was laid by 'rhe sfaff, which had a daily class period in which lo work. Afler rhe slafl had decided on the general oulline of fhe book, if made up and execuled a dummy of diflerenl layours. Having planned a book which fhey hoped would fulfill rhe sru- denrs' efernal desire for somelhing new and differenl, lhe slaff was faced wifh lhe efernal problem of selling enough books lo publish a full size Sycamore. To reward purchasers and gain cusfomers, 'lhe slag sponsored a Sanla Slide dance iusl before Chrislmas. A final sales drive was pul on under lhe direclion of Business Manager Alan Corby. A special paper, Sycamore Scribblings, and lhe Lasr Chance Dance were ufilized lo remind 'rhe sludenls of lhe closing dale. When 'fhe sales were closed, il was found fhal lhe required number of books had ben sold.

Five free announcemenfs were given wilh each coupon, and more could be ordered al a moderale price. The annual Snap Day, on which everyone is inviled 'lo snap shols and submil lhem for lhe Sycamore, was held in lhe Spring. We Mar won lhe firsl prize of a camera for his piclure of an arf room scene. Words of apprecialion should be lossed in fhe direclion of all lhose who conlribuled piciures for Sycamore use. Wesley Berry's many hours in lhe darlcroom as phologra phy adviser deserve much applause. Because of lhe infricale layouls, lhe sfaff found ilself 'forced lo personally mounl' nearly all of ils picfures.
