At the beginning of the term a set of officers and a committe were chosen by the school and have worked throughout the year in its behalf. At the beginning of the fall term track work was taken up and carried on throughout the dry weather. An inter-class field day was held and training gave place to football. Four games were played with outside schools and though the boys didn t win every game yet they did their best. The team of ’04-’05 was com¬ posed of Frank Shaver, Hamilton Farrell, John Lauritzen, Clyde Healy, Frank Haran, Ray Corliss, Martin Poehlmann, Marvin Clark, Thomas Caulfield and Walter Foster. After the spring rains were over track work was again taken up and carried on until thhe S. M. A. A. L. field day. The boys practiced dili¬ gently and when the day of the meet came we were able to enter twelve mien. When the field day was over we found that Petaluma had taken third place with Ukiah first and Santa Rosa second. Thus our record stands at the end of our term. Some might say that we have failed entirely, but such is not the case when we remem- ber that what may be called failures on our part may lead to redoubled energy and to success on the part of our successors. They may profit by what we leave behind us, as a result of this year’s efforts finds material and ideas. The school has not for years been equipped as well as it is now for car¬ rying on athletics, and if the boys keep up the interest that they have manifested this year, the old P. H. S. may again take first place in the S. M. A. A. L. The class of ’04 wish to announce its appreciation of the help and encouragement given them. J. W. F. ’04. BASKET BALL. The Basket Ball season of ’03 com¬ menced with the brightest prospects. Every one was enthusiastic, and the team was encouraged by public in¬ terest. A coach was engaged and practiced continued diligently. A challenge for a match game was received from the U. C. Freshmen, and accepted. The opposing team was met in Berkeley on the new Hearst Court. Score—U. C. 21; Peta¬ luma, 1. The next match game was played in Petaluma with the San Rafael

18 5oV.es, ADvWvovsA. Tvc )iA ce Mr. Foss’ Pet Rhyme. Oh, for the Emerson book and a shady nook. Either in doors or out. With the green leaves whispering overhead, Or noises all about. Where I may read all at my ease. Of the Emerson book of old. For this dear good book whereon to look. Is better to me than gold. So quoth Marvin, “I’ll betide. The school wherein I learned to ride (a wheel). Mr. F.—On the eve of graduation what would you like to have the speaker talk about? Martin—How to get rich quick.

One day a visitor of our city stop¬ ped a Freshman on the street and on inquiring about the school building, asked which way the stairs ran. “Well,” said the Freshman, “if you are at the foot of the stairs, they run up, and if you are at the top of the stairs they run down. A father was much annoyed at the foolish questions of his little son: Pa.—“Johnny, you are a great source of annoyance to me.” Son—“What’s the matter, pa?” Pa—“You ask so many foolish ques¬ tions. I wasn’t such a big donkey when I was your age. Son—“Well, you’ve growed a heap since.” Mr. F.—“Ally, what chemical change takes place when iron comes in contact with air?” Ally—“It risticates.” Why does not lightning ever strike twice in the same place?

Geog.)—What is gas used for? Mr. Kizer (wisely)—Killing pur¬ poses. It is strange that Miss K. should lose her way in S. R., which town she is so familiar with and not be able to find the right way until she had shak¬ en all the party save one.

Mr. Bowles—No, sir, I don’t believe in any of those new-fangled breakfast foods. She wears big sleeves upon her dres 3 , A big hat on her head.

Mr. Singer must have fal¬ len, too. “People don’t die very often in Pet¬ aluma, do they?” inquired a smart New Yorker. “No, only once” was the reply. DR. GEO. LOVEJOY Dentist. Petaluma Two San Francisco newsboys visit¬ ed our city one day. They rode on the horse car to Main street when one got off. “What’s the matter?” asked the other. “Goin’ to get off here,” was the re¬ ply. “What fer?” “Transfer,” responded the young¬ ster with the assurance of a profes¬ sional humorist. “I had to be away from school yes¬ terday,” said Tommy. “You must bring an excuse,” said the teacher. “Who from?” “Your father.” “He ain’t good at making excuses; ma catches him every time. ♦ ♦ ♦ Prof. (In Physics)—What planets were known to the ancients?
