B. A. C. The minor letter system, toy of the Board of Athletic Control, was again completely revised. As it now stands, six inch block letters are awarded all boys who fulfill requirements in minor sports. No numerals are on the letters. The yell leaders and managers have identifying symbols on the letters. Through all the changes in the minor letters, the major blocks rea main unchanged. This year the B. A. C. awarded the 120 basketball teams their letters. This is the first team in four years to receive this honor of winning the majority' of its games. David MacKenzie, able Commissioner of Boys' Athletics and automatically president of the B. A. C., handled this organization efficiently. Faculty -adviser How- ard C. Ray also managed to keep the various branches of sports in harmony. TOP ROW: Ray, Bolich, Burke, Muir, MacKenzie. SECOND ROW: Wiitlminazn, Holmes, Thompson, Anderson, Miles.

The Sports Days, held at schools in the Girls' Peninsula Athletic League, were climaxed by a superday at Palo Alto on May 9. Over fifty girls were present. The G. A. A. chang- ed the number of points required for a Block P from 400 to 800. When a girl receives 400 she wins class numerals.
