TRACK TEAM worn out by his four previous races that he was beaten in time con- siderably slower than before. The next meet attended was under the auspices of the Uni- versity of Southern California. Spurgeon was unable to attend, and the team came home with nothing but several fourth and Hfth places and some more valuable experience. We hope to have three or four other meets this season, and by faithful training and diligent practice to come out strong next year. A comparison of the last year's records and those of this year both in practice and in competition is interesting, for it shows the great improvement made. 1905 SPURGEON 10 1-5s H 24 2-5s BURKE 58 1-5s THOMAS 2m 16s HUBBARD and HOLDERIWN Sm 10s CHAFFEE 19ft 'Fin Yarns Sit i0in ROBINSON 3Sft 8in HILLARD Sit Zin EVENTS 100 yard dash 220 yard dash 440 yard dash S80 yard dash Mile run Broad jump Pole-vault Shot-put High jump Hammer-throw 1906 SPURGEON 10 3-5s 235 55s CARUTH'RS 2m 14s LHUBBARD 5m 6s COLLINS 20ft 3in DEARDEN 20ft lin DEARDEN 9ft it TEMPLETON g PHILLIPS 36ft Sin Sft 4in PHILLIPS 145ft 6f'NKgN Wwfixsfisw Four girls once went rowing on Newport Bay, They had neither a care nor sorrow, not they, The boat turned over in water so blue-- I wonder what happened to Gladys and Sue.

Relay race-WVon by Polytechnic team consisting of XVirsching, Mcftleer, Streeton, McDonald. After the Polytechnic meet a long series of Saturday rains pre- vented other contests until March 27. One night after school, the Senior class attempted to vanquish the rest of tho school, which they did with ease, in spite of Spurgeon who won four first places for the underclassmen. Phillips for the Seniors was practically as good however, for he Won three firsts and tied for the fourth first which he could doubtless have Won had the event been Iinish- ed Then the team Went to Pomona March 31, and while not crowning their school with glory, came back with two medals and a lot of experience. Spurgeon's showing in the two-twenty was good for, after losing four feet on the start, he ran Donnell, the speedy Los Angeles High School sprinter, a dead heat in 23 sec. iiat, breaking the Pomona College Interscholastic record in that event. When the event was run oif, however, he had become s0

.... F F - M DEBATING M . - J t .... SHNTYX FYNYX VS. HCLLYWOOD Our last debate occured on the evening of March 10th. The Assembly Hall presented a gala appearance in cardinal and white and the supporters of both Schools carried the same colors conspic- uously. Considerable interest was felt by the large crowd, as Holly- wood has been the only school who has ever sent Santa Ana to de- feat in debating. However we had great faith in the ability of our team, Lemuel Robinson and Conant Livingston. We upheld the aiiirmative of the question Resolved that Municipalities should own and operate their own Public Utilities. Lemuel Robinson was the first speaker. Far more is expected from a seasoned speaker like Lemuel than from a novice, but Lemuel more than sustained his high reputation. He began in a calm col- lected manner punctuating his arguments by Well-timed and -force- ful gestures. He soon captivated his audience by his strong, ag- gressive personality, and his keen, incisive and logical arguments held the attention of his hearers to the end. Miss Blondeau was the first speaker for the negative. Her argument was fair, but lacked force and individuality. Mr. Conant Livingston was the second speaker for the affirmative Mr. Livingston had never appeared in any debate of note in this school, but his creditable performance took him forever out of the class of possibilities and branded him as an orator of fine ability. We consider his deep, snappy delivery the best in the school and his argument showed deep thought and clear insight. We evpect great things from Mr. Livingston. Mr Hardy concluded the argument for the negative. Mr. Hardy is in a class all by himself. We never heard another speaker like
