This victory marks the second championship Richmond has won in the A. C. A. L. The tourney ended the career of one of the best tennis teams ever produced at Richmond High. Carlin, Hurley and Sutton, three leading players in the state, will be lost to R. U. H. S. by graduation. As a result of their success in the A. C. A. L., Hurley and Carlin won the right to participate in the doubles matches in the North Coast finals. GIRLS’ ATHLETICS According to the constitution, the R. U. H. S. Girls’ Athletic association exists for the purpose of encouraging active participation of every girl in some form of school sport, and to foster good sportsmanship among the girls. The major sports of the 1932 spring season were baseball and basketball. As a result of the seniors winning the intermural basketball championship, the following girls received their numerals: Helen McDonald, Marjorie Woods, Con- stance Fiderio, Emma Berutti, Esther Auten, Marguerite Russell, Bonita Ellis, Gertrude Huber, Nora Dunleavy and Rita Cavigga. Saseball did not prove to be as popular among the girls as basketball was. How- ever, those who turned out improved their games. The teams which won most fre- quently were the seniors and the juniors. In determining the championship, these teams played the first game of the final series last Wednesday. The seniors defeated the juniors by a score of 6-4. Finals were played on Monday and, as a result, many girls received awards for baseball at the G. A. A. banquet which was held on Tuesday. Tennis and swimming are the minor sports throughout the year. Miss Mildred Cuthbertson, who gave swimming instructions at the Natatorium every Tuesday from 5 to 6 o'clock, has produced a group of competent swimmers and divers. At the City Hall tennis courts every Tuesday and Friday mornings from 7 to8 o'clock, Miss Clara McLaurin gave tennis instructions to all girls who were interested. Through her efforts, promising net stars are being developed. This term the girls took part in the semi-annual play day with the G. A. A. of the Eastbay high schools at San Leandro, and the tri-angular play day with Crockett and Martinez at Crockett. These play days are always enjoyed by the girls. A CONSOLATION Although we shall lose many good friends when the class of June °32 is grad- uated, and our friends themselves feel sad as the time draws near when they must end their scholastic endeavors, we must not forget that soon we, too, shall receive diplomas, and join that group which is ever loyal to R. U. H. S.—the Alumni. HI-NUS SUPPLEMENT STAFF Christine Coleman ill Brandau Lloyd Mason Bill Goodwin Clyde Barnhard Frank Ausez Ruby Kong Evelyn Overaa Fong, 1932.

The husky boy also took a third in the 220 and a fourth in the 100-yard dash. O’Brien copped a third in the high hurdles, Joe Robak, a third in the mile, and Pearson, a fourth in, the 440. In addition to Masek in the sprints, Ray Fasanaro anc Elton Armstrong secured several points for the locals. Both ran excellent laps in the half mile relay, the event that cinched many meets for R. U. H. S. Lloyd Pearson was triumphant in the majority of his quarter mile dashes, and should be even better next spring. Ivan Utter also ran the one-lap race. Clarence Siemer and Louie Piziali took care of the half mile distance. Siemer will be one of the letter men returning in 1933. Joe Robak and Al Cezario took turns in winning the mile run. At the start of the year, the latter was easily the victor, but in the closing stages, Robak obtained revenge. Tony Silva and Reinaldo Beltz competed in the endurance grind, also. Ellard O’Brien, Bob Swan, Frank Merideth and Bill Whitmore were a brilliant quartet of hurdlers. All captured. many points. Merideth will be back next year.

Humph- rey, who is the only graduating trackster of the trio, also gathered points in the weights, where he combined with Masek. Frank Christopher and John Gerletti were the local high jumping pair. The relay squad was composed of Pearson, Armstrong, Fasanaro and Masek. TENNIS Winning their second A. C. A. L. championship in three years, the Richmond High Tennis Team completed a splendid season.

SHIP AHOY! Oh give me a life on the bounding waves, Some food in my galley, One which is happy and gay, My heart full of joy, A life of romance, A fig for all worries— A life full of thrills, Come on! Ship Ahoy! One with no worry of restaurants or grills. FLORENCE McKEE. ANITA PERA. DREAMS Oh, I would be a pirate, The crew, those jolly fellows, And sail the shining seas ; Should like true pirates be, I'd have for crew three hearties Just four of age as I am, Who golden loot would seize. Those huskie hearties three. My ship would be a beauty, And she would sail the high seas, Her sails all golden sheen ; Proud master at her bow, Her decks piled high with treasure, Till hurricane or high storm, Much more than ever seen. At length should lay her low. : K K LOVE WILL FIND A WAY Do you know Willie Vanderbilt ? He sits by me in school. He always knows his lesson, And he never breaks a rule. EUGENIA CRARY. He brings the teacher flowers And sometimes, apples, too. He always wears a small bow tie, As mamma’s boys should do. I know that he’s the teacher’s pet, But that don’t make me blue. The only thing ’at worries me, Is that Marjie likes him, too. I asked her what she saw in him, She simply answered this, “T just adore his eyes of blue,” The foolish little miss. 3ut I soon fixed that matter up, The eyes that once were blue, Are now as black as black can be; What’s more, she likes me, too.
