RICHMOND UNION HIGH SCHOOL N ww Wy Ny Z, ACHIEVEMENT JUNE 1934 f RICHMOND | COLLECTION | | | PUBLISHED by the RICHMOND UNION HIGH SCHOOL... TH rt I ds HALL OF i 4 AME ' DEDICATION “Great men exist that greater men may be.” To the great men whose ideals serve as inspirations to our lives, to their accomplishments, and to that institution, the Hall of Fame, that serves to keep their memory alive, do we dedicate this record of high school achievement. HALL OF FAME MAJESTICALLY OVERLOOKING the valley through which the silent Hudson flows into crowded New York, stands a remarkable monument to those of our country- men who have achieved true greatness. Here. in the marble-columned chambers f the Hall of Fame. have been erected busts of sixty-nine men, who, after the rules of election, are considered worthy of this honor. To the memory of these who have achieved greatness has this memorial been dedicated, a contribution to the pride and inspiration of Americans. The monument itself is one of surpassing architectural beauty. Besides the main colonnade, which is divided into many sections, one for each branch of achievement represented, there are a memorial library, a museum, and several substructures. Every American is a shareholder in the Hall of Fame. This monument to our country’s truly great was a gift to the American People; and though its title is held by New York University, this institution regards itself as trustee, under sacred obligations to administer the gift in such a manner as to conserve the patriotic and idealistic aims of the donor. No one class or type of men is chosen by the electors of the Hall of Fame to occupy places in the colonnade. Literature, science, religion, arts, politics, education, adventure, business, and patriotic service all have their representa- tives among the memorials. So that time may determine whether or not a person has achieved true greatness, no person is eligible for election until twenty-five years after his death. Not only does the Hall of Fame serve as a permanent memorial to the great men of our nation, but also as a lasting inspiration to our youth, from whom will come tomorrow’s great. Its whole plan is educational and patriotic. To promote lofty sentiments, high aspirations, and wise ambitions is its purpose. It is a remarkable contribution, one that is fair, dignified, and permanent. As the shining waters of the serene Hudson approach towered Manhattan to be lost again in restless Atlantic, so the steadily-flowing current of youth passes from our portals into the ever-changing perplexities of life. On the bank of this stream do we erect “Achievement,” to serve as a lastine record of our attain- ments, and an inspiration to those who are destined to become the creat of tomorrow. NAMES OF MEN IN HALL OF FAME | Fottow1nc is the list of men who have been elected to the Hall of Fame. Accompanying their names is the classification of their work and the number of votes they were given by the electors.

On that day there started from their homes to investigate the mysteries of school for the first time, more than one hundred little boys and girls. They did not all converge in the same place: in fact the places were widely scattered. The largest part started in the grammar schools of Richmond, others in Pinole, and still others in El Cerrito. Even this did not include them all, for throughout the United States, children came to school who were destined to graduate with the Richmond Union High School class of June 1934. It would be wrong to say that the whole of the class originated in August of 1922. for there were some who started as late as 1924, who will graduate next Wednesday. On the other hand, there were some who began earlier; how much earlier we would not attempt to say. For nine years these boys and girls grew up through grammar school and junior high, and were moulded finally into one big unit in August of 1931 when they became the sophomore class at Richmond High. The fine record they had made continued through their sojourn at Richmond High, and from the time of their entrance the class played a large part in athletics, dramatics, activities, and student affairs. One of the finishing touches was put on the class in the middle of its junior year when a loquacious young man from Healdsburg fell into our midst and in a year became the president of the class. This young man, James Miller by name, with the assistance of Jack Ryan as vice-president, Margaret Wolleson as secretary, and Norma Case as treasurer, has aided greatly in bringing the jour- ney of the class of 34 to a fitting close. This class, the largest ever to graduate from Richmond Union High School, numbers 172. There are 90 girls and 82 boys. Much has been accomplished by the class in the three years they have been here. Nine of the members wear platinum pins, eleven hold Block “R’s”, three have lifetime Student Body cards, obtained for athletic achievement; and two have been Student Body presidents. In spite of the business depression, under the leadership of this class Student Body memberships have increased. Another achievement was that of instituting home talent programs for the Student Body. The class is well represented in Jewel Davis and David Newsom, who were chosen as commencement speakers. Both have been members of the Honor Society and have been active in school life. During commencement ceremonies, Jim Miller will present to the High School the class gift, which will be a sum to be added to the fund started by the December °33 class, to purchase a name- plate for the school. Before leaving, the senior class has made plans for organizing an alumni association which will bring classmates together in the years following gradua- tion. But their high school life is almost over, and the class of °34 hopes it has left its mark of service to the Richmond Union High School. + _———— MA MOS AOE SBT “ = TE NN rE DAVID NEWSOM HELEN VASLIE TED SILI ALDO C.

Several definite accomplish- ments have been made through their efforts. In their disciplinary capacity, they have met efficiently every problem that has arisen. The fact that only two cases have been brought before the Student Court, and that the commissioners have been removed from the halls speaks well for the attitude of the students, and for the leadership of the officers. The Board has presented two Student Body programs of school talent. An- other phase of their work has been the establishment of noon dances in the Com- munity Theater every Friday besides Monday and Wednesday. Jack Haase has been president of the Board this semester. Other officers have been Robert Martin, vice-president; Muriel Dugan, secretary-treasurer; Wil- bur Hosmer, commissioner of law and order; Donald Bignall, commissioner of boys’ athletics; Linda Roberto, commissioner of girls’ athletics; Donald Mc- Nany, student judge; Royce Pummill, prosecuting attorney; Rose Bartolo, auditor. Miss Drewry and Miss Stockton have served as faculty advisers to the commissioners. GIRLS’ LEAGUE EIGHT YEARS AGO the Girls’ League was formed for the purpose of serving the school and the community. Every girl in the High School is a member of this organization. The leaders of the Girls’ League this term were: Marion Gordon, president; Valerie Bennetts, vice president; and Eleanor Brensel, secretary. The first meeting was held February 7, and the main feature was the talk on “The Ideas of a Scientist” by Dr. Anita Laton, head of the Science Department of University High School in Oakland. Completing the program was a trumpet duet by James Brien and Bill Anderson, with Alden Pratt as the accompanist. On April 11, the Girls’ League held their second meeting. A violin solo was given by Patricia Knox, accompanied by Anne Erich. Miss Brooke then spoke on the “New Deal” and the personality of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. THE HI-NUS HAVING PUBLISHED eighteen issues of the Hi-Nus and the semi-annual book, the journalism class regards the Spring semester of news writing as an accom- plishment. With Miss Norine Buchanan as instructor, the class of twenty stu- dents has put out a special Saint Patrick’s Day edition, an eight page Public Schools Week edition, sent representatives to the Press Convention at the Uni- versity of California, and exchanged weekly papers with more than 50 schools. George Odell served as editor of the Hi-Nus, assisted by Grace Childs, busi- ness manager, Alden Pratt and Jack McKune advertising managers, Alyce Bur- kett, circulation manager, and Jim Miller, make-up editor. The remainder of the staff consisted of Margaret Jenkins, feature editor; Charles Jacobs and Phil Goettel, boys’ sports editors; Angelina Mazzei, girls’ sports editor; Gladys Valencia, alumni editor; Amy Schwarz, school notes editor; Ruth Robinson, humor editor; Catherine Healy and Ruth Van Marter, exchange editors; James Havey, headline writer; Margaret Casey and Bernice Jaramillo, proof readers; Catherine Fasanaro and Margaret Duarte, typists. The photographer for the term was Lester Geyer. ; S S kp Wy, ? NS I Ce WY Ss C My | IN iN . !

It was also somewhat unusual, for there were almost as many boys as girls who made the society during the first quarter. In this quarter’s activities were included a Washington’s Birthday program, followed by a visit to a Dollar liner the same afternoon. Officers who served the first half semester were Jim Brien, president; Ted Bastin, vice-president; and Mary Roveda, secretary. As the first meeting, which was addressed by Mr. Helms, forty-nine students received certificates of membership, presented by Mr. Tucker. Yuriko Sugihara and Chester Sausaman were awarded the platinum pin, the highest award any student can achieve. Dr. Franz Schneider, president of Phi Beta Kappa of the University of Cali- fornia, was speaker at the second presentation of awards on April 2. Rose Bar- tolo, Nicholas Elefther, and Paul Darrell, were awarded platinum pins. Students who retained platinum pins previously won were Ted Bastin, Norma Case, Jewel Davis, Chester Sausaman, and Yuriko Sugihara. HI-Y CLUB “TO CREATE, MAINTAIN, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character” is the purpose of the Hi-Y club. This club, composed of forty high school boys, is sponsored by the Richmond Y. M. C. A. Besides its Monday evening meetings, at which many outstanding speakers and worthwhile entertainments were presented, the club’s activities included participation in the regional conference at which the Richmond Hi-Y was host, two inductions of new members, a Mother’s Day banquet, several discussion group meetings, and four successful socials. Hi-Y is a world-wide organization for high school boys, with an aim to de- velop clean speech, clean sport, clean scholarship, and clean lives among boys from 15 to 18 years of age. Mr. Fred F. Breen, Y. M. C. A. secretary, acted as adviser to the club during the past terms. Officers were as follows: James Miller, president; Kenneth Alexander, vice president; Wallace Willis, secretary; James Brien, treasurer; Charles Hahn, social. chairman; Alden Pratt, financial chairman; Harold Smersfelt, athletic manager; Herbert Brougham, membership chairman. DRAMATICS A THREE-ACT PLAY was given as the semi-annual dramatic production in the Richmond High auditorium May 4. This was the first time since the spring of 1933 that a three-act play was chosen for the program. The play was a delight- ful comedy, “Tommy”, by Howard Lindsay and Bertrand Robertson. In the title role was Lloyd Moore, the lover of Marie Thurber, played by Alberta Hill. Both parts were handled exceptionally well. Geoffrey Yates as the father with a mania for peppermints and crossword puzzles, and Helene Yoohs, his wife, with her sense of humor that no one but herself appreciated, added much fun to the play. Elton Brombacher took the part of Bernard, Tommy’s rival. He was a high-powered auto salesman as well as quite a Romeo. This comedy role was ably portrayed by Elton. Royce Pummill, as Uncle Dave, was the political boss of the town and as such, the instigator of the whole romance. He handled that part with almost professional skill, and the judge, played by Jim Brien, completed the fine cast. —, poe -—— ——= S.

ORCHESTRA THE THIRTY-TWO PIECE ORCHESTRA, also under the direction of Mr. Morris, was the largest that Richmond has had for several semesters. It has made appear- ances at the various school functions throughout the term, and, with the band and glee clubs, presented the annual Spring Concert. Members of the orchestra are James Brien, Arthur Bergman, Ruth Bastin, Fern Bobo, Clyde Bussey, Donald Crisler, Angelo Combis, Anne Erich, Elva Green. Nellie Graham.

LIBRARY GIRLS ACTING AS ABLE ASSISTANTS to our librarian, Miss Zelma Reeve, the library sirls have proved their worth to the High School. There is a girl in the library every period who assists in issuing books and magazines, and in checking at- tendance lists. The girls hold a meeting once a month. Among the most out- standing of their social events were.a visit to the Berkeley Women’s City club and a picnic at Orinda. The library girls who have served this semester are Tressa Dell Axtell, Cath- srine Bastin, Mary Romero, Fay Hallstrom, Linda Roberto, Marion Gordon, Anna Mae Williams, Marjorie Spaulding, Yuriko Sugihara, and Ruth Eichar. The lettering of the books was done by Donald Crisler. RADIO CLASS THE RADIO CLAss, made up of fourteen boys, makes a general study of all phases of the radio. The course is given in unit lessons, every unit giving information about a section of the operation of a radio. At the end of each experiment a test is civen to determine the knowledge the boy has vained. The members of the Radio class are: Edward Thompson, Norbert Salsman, Leland Hardesty, Willie Nilsson, Porfirio Gonzales, Merritt Herbst, Herman Goldstein, Harold Johnson, Manuel Goularte, John Clarke, William Parker, Clyde Bussey, Mervyn Swartout, and Robert Mealman.

Wi Uli GIRL RESERVES UnpDER THE GUIDANCE of Helen Hinshaw, president, the Girl Reserves spent most of this semester reorganizing their club and building up its membership. “ Because of the feeling of cooperation that existed between the Cabinet and the members, this accomplishment was possible. The girls held meetings twice a month and entertainment was provided by the members. One of the objectives of the club this semester was to develop social accomplishments, and after the meeting, dancing, singing, and informal games were enjoyed. Recognition services were held March 14 and many new members were welcomed. In April Miss McLaurin accompanied the girls of the Cabinet to a Girl Re- serve Round Table Convention at the Y. W. C. A. Cottage in Berkeley. Several other schools sent delegates, and the group discussed Girl Reserve objectives. After the meeting a delightful dinner was served. The Girl Reserves, togethed with members of the G. A. A., went on an over- night hike to “Laffalot,” a cottage at Stinson Beach, during the week-end of May 12-13. Members of the Cabinet for this semester were Helen Hinshaw, president; Peggy Horner, vice president; Jean Williams, secretary: Edna Wickersheim, treasurer; and Marie Markus, program chairman. Miss Clara McLaurin is the counselor. PHYSIOLOGY CLUB To INCREASE KNOWLEDGE through the individual study of health and hygiene, the Physiology club was founded on August 30, 1928. Since that time it has be- come an outstanding school organization. This semester a series of lectures on Infant Care were given by Mrs. Aileen Bronsdon and Miss Helen Parker, the faculty advisers of the club. One of the chief events on the program this term was a trip to the Richmond hospital on May 3. There the girls were shown through the hospital, and were able to see the doctors and nurses at work. At the last meeting, May 31, a party was given to end the achievement of this year. Members of the club include: Leila McLennan, Harriet Pedrotti, Thelma Fracisco, Lois Berry, Carol Hunt, Edith Higgins, Laverne Kingsley, Alice Mc- 4 Greagh, Alice Shaw, Joan Mathews, Eiliene Harvin, Jeanette Hunt,, Anna Bel- legarde, Margaret Casey, Leona Carr, Ruth Moitoza, June Gillan, Virginia Hull, Anna May Connors, Dorothy Ciopponi, Evelyn Alpegene, and Doris’ ; Stephens. HOSPITAL GIRLS THE HOSPITAL GIRLS is one of the oldest organizations in our school; yet it is not really an organization at all. These girls, nineteen in number this semester, are chosen for their citizenship and scholarship by the Dean of Girls. Their duties center around the hospital room, study, and office of the girls’ gym- nasium. This term the girls who served in this capacity were: Ruth Barrett, Phyllis Parr, Mary Fraitas, Anita Gebhardt, Eleanor Brensel, Edna Wickersheim, Marie Markus, Dorothy Bergen, Rose Bartolo, Anita McDonald, Bertha Ped- rotti, Jean Williams, Ina Corrigan, Opal Gillham, Winifred Renfree, Zola Har- desty, Helen Oehne, Charlotte Wood, and Esther Rhodes. dy WY (7 IW Ss Y) ‘ C NNN ION i YG, ; Uy ee 4 ZF vr 4 ALI Mit ILLENIUM Sonc OF LIFE A LETTER Oxtp Mission RUINS Tue TERM REPORT A SOLILOQUY ).

The room is furnished like that of any family of moderate means. The door-bell rings and Marge goes to door to admit Bill. Bill comes in, throws his hat and coat on the sofa and sits down. Brtt—H’lo, Marge, I’ve got a surprise for ya. What do you want for your birth- day? Marce—What would I like for my birthday? Oh, Bill, you know I'll simply adore anything you give me. Besides its no use telling you ’cause you’ve probably already picked out some darling gift for me. Brtt—l’1l bet you can’t guess what it is. Give ya three guesses. Marce—( Pondering) Let me see now... An evening bag? I'll just bet you’re giving me one of those gorgeous evening bags that we saw at Smith’s. (Bill shakes his head ). Marce—(Surprised) No? Well then I'll bet it’s those perfectly ducky earrings I showed you the other day. (Again Bil! shakes his head). Marce—( Disappointed) It’s not? My, this is getting hard... Oh. now I know! It’s a traveling bag with silver fittings! Because when I told you the other day that I craved one you looked so wise. Brtt— (Shaking his head )—Nope! You're all wrong. You'll never guess. Marce—(Crestfallen) It isn’t? Well honestly, Bill, I can’t think of another thing. Go on tell me what it is. Bill brings a package from his side and says—It’s an umbrella. Marce—(Amazed)—An umbrella? You don’t mean an um——. Well. honest- ly, Bill, not that I don’t think an umbrella is an awfully cute present, but really, I never go out in the rain! I always take a taxi. Gosh, it certainly is a good thing I asked you, ‘cause now you can take it back and get some- thing more practical. Of course, Pll just be thrilled to death with anything you give me, but I’m sure you wouldn’t want to give me anything I can’t use, would you, honey ? (Marge exists hurriedly with the umbrella and the curtain falls with Bill standing dumbfounded in the center of the room).

Statistics fail to show the caliber of the squad as a whole. The regular game schedule which started this term included six practice games, six league games, and the Alumni tilt. Richmond was defeated in the term opener by the Emeryville Spartans, 20- 17. The locals then conquered Alhambra and Hayward by 41-28, and 28-17, re- spectively. The Oilers won one out of three contests to complete their practice season, losing to the strong Lowell five, defeating Alhambra 35-18, and trailing Tamalpais by 11 points. At the close of the practice games, Alexander was the leading scorer for the Oilers, with 69 points. A. C. A. L. festivities were opened with Piedmont, sup- posedly the strongest team in the league. They defeated the Oilers 36-24. Alameda, after trailing the Red and Blue quintet for three quarters, overtook the locals in the closing minutes to win 26-22. The feature of the game was the fine play of Herman Pete, veteran negro guard of the Hornets. Richmond then fell before a tall, rangy Berkeley five, who, with their su- perior height and floor work, had little difficulty in defeating the Oilers. Irwin of the Jackets collected 14 points. On our home court Piedmont had a more difficult time, and barely nosed out Richmond 32-28, in an overtime game. The Oiler varsity fought the Scots from the opening gun only to lose by two buckets. Berkeley defeated the locals for the second time with a 30-20 score. Irwin again led the Yellowjackets. Richmond. with no wins. traveled to Alameda and trounced the Hornet var- sity decisively to complete the league schedule. The score was 26-15. In the ever-popular Alumni tilt, the Student varsity emerged victorious over Mr. Tucker’s former students in a thrilling finish, 33-30. One of the largest turn- outs ever present attended this game. As the season closed. Bill McLaughlin, guard, was elected captain of the 1934 varsity because of his fine play and splendid leadership. “B” BASKETBALL T Tus YEAR the Richmond B Basketball team had an excellent season, winning nine of the twelve practice games, and four of the six league games, to take sec- i ond place in the A. C. A. L. They also trimmed Mr. Tucker’s “super-alumni” team in the final tlt. Jack Casey was elected captain of the team at the close of the season. Jack well deserved this honor, as he played good ball throughout the year. He was influential in many victories because of his great defensive work. He rang up 17 points from the foul line to lead the squad in that department. The forward spots were held down by Alden Pratt, Len Anderson, Wes Owens and John Starke. Pratt was the team’s leading scorer, tallying 91 points for a season total. Anderson proved a capable floor man, and his accurate pass- ing led to a good many Oiler scores. Starke, a forward on last year’s team, also played a good floor and defensive game, although he was not a high scorer. Owens, in league games, was the second high scoring forward. He played a steady game and his timely buckets pulled the Oilers out of many a hole. Cc nope? A % Sy aN NS Yi — d Uljyi The center position caused Coach Ribbel much worry during the early part of the season. but then Ray McPherson turned up and Frank’s woes vanished. Ray not only played an all-around good game, but he also came second in scor- ing with a grand total of 64 points. Ray had able assistants in Melo Milicevich and Wallace Willis. Ed McLaughlin and Jack McKune worked at the cuard position with their captain, Jack Casey. Ed, a splendid floor man, was also a “dead-eye”’ on long shots, and he rang up 59 points during the season. McKune played a great de- fensive game. Chuck Hahn, Harold Bolas, and Bob Abernathy also played at the guard positions. Mike Lewis, Eugene Corr, Charles Covell, forwards, and Joe Moore and Steve Rubick, guards, also saw action during the season. BASEBALL f AT THE CLOSE of the 1934 baseball season we find two wins and a tie out of fifteen games played. Considering the fact that this year’ s nine was inexperi- enced, consisting for the most part of sophomores and juniors, the outlook for next season is bright. The first eight practice games included University, Alhambra, John Swett, Castlemont, San Rafael. Hayward, San Leandro and Mt. Diablo High Schools. Richmond tied John Swett and drew a 14-13 win from Mt. Diablo. The rest of the games were close, except for the San Leandro game which was the sever- est trimming of the season for the Oilers, the score being 13-2. In the first league game with Berkeley, an over-abundance of errors set the Red and Blue on the short end of a 10 to 7 count. Richmond then played a fine Alameda nine, who, because of their airtight fielding and pitching drew down the curtain in a nine-inning game, 5-1. The Oilers met John Swett and Martinez, both non-league games, being nosed out 3-2 by the former, and winning 9-3 from the latter. An improved Richmond team met the Berkeley Yellowjackets and came close to surprising them, losing by one run in an extra inning, 9-8. Alameda then trounced the Oilers, 8-4. The fine playing of the Hornets did not concede the Red and Blue a look-in. As a finale to the season, our varsity traveled to Moraga to meet the strong St. Mary’s frosh, and they were enter- tained at a feed following the game. The little Gaels humbled Richmond by a 12-3 score. Taking the team’s batting average as a whole, their total stood at .295. Out- standing among the sluggers of the team was Bob Moore, who batted .466 and scored eight times. O'Malley, Smith and Edwards proved a capable trio of pitchers who did well despite their inexperience. | Ed Lewis, besides leading the team in homers, was elected captain for the 1934 season.. He was one of the few returning veterans. Alexander, Corr, Big- nall, Ball and Walker played consistent ball, besides driving out their share of hits. The players were: Bignall, Walker, Lewis, Ball, Costa, Cooley, Moore, Mili- cevich, Alexander, Lodetti, Corr, O'Malley, Rocha, Smith, Edwards, Kosich Faria, Bolljahn. SsE20 S Z, S Z = = AZ Se) G S Mee ee pe ne ee ee “i S (| —— TRACK Lep By Frank Merideth and Jack Ryan, the 1934 Oiler track team swept through its best season in years. The Red and Blue squad won three meets, placed second f in another, and lost two. One of the two lost was the A. C. A. L. contest at the close of the season. This meet was won by Berkeley, with Piedmont, Alameda and Richmond following in that order. With only a few days of practice to their credit, the Richmond team went to Concord to open the season with the Red Devils. Because of the lack of condi- tioning, the Oilers were on the short end of the score, 58 to 46, when the points were added up. This meet brought to light a new sprinter, Jack Dowdakin, who was to become, as the season progressed, one of the best 220-yard men Rich- mond has ever turned out. The next match was with Piedmont and Hayward on the Highlander oval. Piedmont won this meet, and Richmond placed second. Alhambra was the third stop, and it was there that the Oilermen really started to work. Richmond won this meet easily, 61 to 36. John Swett High of Crockett also entered this meet and took seven points. For Richmond Frank Merideth won three events, the broad jump and both hurdles races. Jack Ryan did almost as well, taking the 100, 220 and a second in the broad jump. Bob Canning also did well in this meet, clearing 5 feet 9 inches in the high jump to establish a new Richmond record. San Ramon and Pittsburg were the next victims of the Oilers in a three-way meet at Pittsburg. The final count read Richmond 41, San Ramon 33, Pittsburg 30. The relay race was the feature of this contest. Jack Dowdakin and Wes Owens, running the first two laps were not able to keep up with the wind-split- ting pace set by San Ramon, so when Frank Merideth received the baton he was second by about four yards. Frank held his own until the last five yards where he passed the man and gave Jack Ryan a five-yard lead to win the meet for Rich- mond. Four days later the R. U. H. S. track men traveled to Hayward to meet the Farmers. Richmond had no trouble winning this encounter 58 to 46. Manuel Silva. miler, turned in a nice performance, covering the distance in five minutes and five seconds. The Oilers also entered a team in the Alhambra relays, but were unable to manufacture any points. Jack Dowdakin, Jack Ryan, Bob Canning and Wes Owens represented R. U. H. S. at the Northern California C. I. F. meet, Dowda- kin traveling the distance in remarkable time to place second. THE WINGED SHIELD SOCIETY THE PURPOSE of the Winged Shield society is to promote the welfare of Rich- mond High. It is composed of boys who have been awarded a Block “R”, a Managerial “R”, and boys who have been presidents of student organizations that have a member of the faculty as a sponsor. The welfare of the High School consists of many things, and a responsibility far greater than that given to the average boy rests upon each boy who is a member of the society. Duties such as regulating traffic at games and taking care of the ticket sales have been assumed by members of the Winged Shield. Officers for the present term have been Bill McLaughlin, president; Frank Merideth, vice president; and Al Cannon, secretary. se xrey S QW Sema az S Zm TENNIS THE TENNIS TEAM had a rather poor season. In the League, Berkeley was so superior that it won eight of the possible nine divisional matches. Piedmont’s Bobby Harmon, United States boys’ champion. annexed the A. C. A. L. singles championship to give the Highlanders their only title. Richmond was successful insofar as triumphing over Alameda 5-4 in the pre-season matches. The only men whom Richmond placed in the finals were Gengler and Toyota, who were defeated by Wellington and Schaif of Berkeley in a three-set battle. However, such superior competition gave the team some much-needed experi- ence and a good outlook for the 1935 A. C. A. L. championships. Richmond’s lineup consisted of John Starke, first singles; Kenneth Gengler, second singles; Jim Miller, third singles; Arthur Mythen, fourth singles; Cecil Smith, fifth singles; Starke and Miller, first doubles; Gengler and George Toyota, second doubles. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION UNDER THE SUPERVISION of Miss Alice Bagley and Miss Clara McLaurin. P. E. instructors, and Linda Roberto, G. A. A. president, more than one hundred girls turned out for after-school athletics this semester. Basketball was the major sport for the first quarter; baseball, for the second quarter. Tennis, speedball, and archery were the minor sports.
