EDITORIALS . 25 ' The school has a right to be proud of her athletic ac- complishments during the past term. We are especially to be congratulated upon the Girls' Basketball Team which won the interscholastic championship of Southern California. Our Track Team has done excellent work, winning the championship of Orange County and We are proud of them. Our Baseball Team also shows itself capable of successfully coping with the most sturdy foe, and although deprived of the county championship. on a technic- ality, yet We expect great things of it. We attribute our successes in athletics to the untiring efforts of Coach Noble and to the con- sistent work of the individual players on the various teams. Keep up the good work S. A. H. S. In debating and oratory also we have been successful. Our team fought its way down to the finals in the Southern Califor- nia Debating League, which We lost to Long Beach on May 29. Although the team proper was composed of but four members, the practice afforded in try-outs and practice debates has given invaluable experience to many. For our successes we have to thank the members of the faculty and especially Mr. Tucker, for their aid. We may well be proud of the showing made by our representatives in the Orange County Forensic Contest, and may cherish for a whole year the team medal which they have Won. We sincerely hope that success will favor us in the future the same as it has in the past. The interest displayed in the literary clubs, shows that the Whole school is taking a part in this work, as do also the excellent orations which are each day delivered by members of the senior class. This latter affords excellent practice to the students and should be continued in the future. There is but one thing that the school regrets: The loss of the Senior A Class of thirty-eight. This class was the leader in all school activities and its members were among the representatives of the school in debating, oratory and athletics. But, although their presence will be missed, others will take their places and lead the school on to success. The entire school joins in wishing the members of this class of 708 good fortune on the journey of life, which they are about to begin. In preparing this publication we wish to heartily thank the members of the English department for the valuable assistance they have given us, as well as all students who have aided us and

M PTl11.ETlIZ'jIl l Ice A W Q ee Girls' Basketball After defeating all of the teams in Orange County, Santa Ana was matched against Orange in the finals for the champion- ship of the county league. The game was played on the Santa Ana courts and the most notable feature of it was the rough play- ing of Orange. Santa Ana won by outclassing Orange in every particular of the game. The next game played was on the home court against River- side. The game Was one-sided from beginning to end, Santa Ana winning by the score of 29 to 6. Our girls met the Girls' Collegiate Team at Los Angeles in one of the closest and best games of the year. The Collegiate girls played a very scientific game, their team-work being perfect. Santa Ana played a more direct, less complicated game, and the final score stood 16 to 6 in favor of Santa Ana. The next day after the Collegiate game the girls went to Claremont and met their only defeat. The game was played in- doors and only five players used instead of the regular six. Not- withstanding these disadvantages our team played the college girls a fast, exciting game. In fact Santa Ana lead up to the last minute of play, except when the score was tied, which occured seven times during the game. Score, Pomona 21, Santa Ana 20. In the semi-finals, Santa Ana was matched against On- tario High, the champions of the Citrus Belt League. The game was played at Ontario and Santa Ana Won. The Ontario delega- tion lacked the true sporting spirit and disputed the decisions of the referee, but at the close of the second half the score stood 22 to '6 in favor of Santa Ana.
