GIRLS' ATHLETIC SEASON GIRLS' SPORTS this year have been especially attractive and worthwhile. The goal of each girl, interested in developing her skills, has been membership in the Girls' Athletic Association. This may be attained during the four years at Diablo by the completion of the requirements of five different sports in a true sportsman- like manner.

TRACK BASEBALL TRACK VICTORY after victory was chalked up this year for the Diablo track team. Every league track meet went to Diablo, as well as the highest honors in the class B division of the Martinez relays on May 9. To add to this long string of victories was the performance of the Diablo weight men. They distinguished themselves in various meets throughout the Bay Region with record throws in both the shot and the discus. In the NES meet at Stanford, May 15, Firpo Grossi won the shot with a throw of 51 feet 9 inches, and Warren Harding took second in the discus with a throw of 128 feet, both against some of the sternest opposition in the state. BASEBALL AS ONE of Diablo's outstanding sports, baseball distinguished itself by fine ball games and large turnouts. This shows that more students than ever are seeing the values of the Great American Game. The same clean game was played here as in all of Diablo's competitive sports and the whole team deserved a big hand for the fine way they represented Diablo's spirit on the diamond. »29«

For the first time in many years Diablo was the hostess at a Triangular Play Day held in November. Girls from Pittsburg and Antioch participated in the program, which fostered closer cooperation and friendship among the girls of the three schools. In March sev- eral girls enjoyed an exciting day at High School Sports' Day at the University of California. In April twenty girls from Diablo spent a wonderful day at Crockett at the County Play Day. In May the climax was a picnic for all those who had received letter credit in 1937.
