The football games were of county-wide interest, drawing the larg- est crowds in school history. After winning the county champion- ship, the team attracted many spectators to C. I. F. games abroad. The B football team tied with Cxnard for the county champion- ship. In addition to football laurels, athletic teams reaped county championships in lightweight basketball, baseball, and track. Al- though a slump was felt in varsity basketball victories, the games were as well attended as any sport. Next yearis varsity will illus- trate how B champs develop into a varsity. From seeing the baseball squad in practice on the new diamond, it is easy to realize what the student body would have enjoyed had there been more home games. After the county title was forfeited to the Cards, they entered the Pomona tournament and the C. l. F. playoff. The varsity trackmen, displaying consistent scoring power, eas- ily won the county meet at Oxnard, the annual Russell Cup meet, the league meet, and divisional meet. Six athletes from Santa Paula who placed high in the divisional went to the Southern California meet. The girls captured top honors at the spring playday and at tended all other playdays. lllembers of the girls' gym classes did many folk dances and exercises at the physical education demonstra- tion on illay '17, in the gymnasium. They also took an active part in all after-school sports. The football field, baseball diamond, and track have been improved and graded in preparation for next year. The new night lights, backstop, and grandstand improvements have made softball permanent in Santa Paula. Definite steps have been taken to realize the students' dream of a swimming pool. Kluch of the success of the teams this year is due to our coaches: Bliss Rayma VVilson, hir. Roy Priebe, hir. Victor Hunsaker, and Mr. George Atmore.

l I11 OZPt OUJ NDP-I 3 5 FOOTBALL 'lihe '3-1 football varsity won highest grid laurels in Cardinal history this season. 'llhe teznn record includes the playing of eleven games with hut two losses and one tie. Santa Paula crowned the season by meeting Cathedral High School in the quarter-finals of the C. l. l . Southern California championship playoff. ln the first clash, Santa Paula dropped a close game to Santa Barbara after staging a second-half come-back. 'llhe Cards then met and defeated Lancaster and the Occidental freshman team. ln the county league, the team won live games and tied one, to win the championship. This was the first undefeated Cardinal team in many years. As winner of the Ventura county championship, Santa Paula was scheduled to meet Santa Maria in the first C. l. F. round. After staging one of their usual last quarter rallies, the Cards won 21-13. Santa Paula's hopes for a Southern California championship were crushed when the powerful Cathedral High School team from Los Angeles won a hard-fought battle here the following Friday. ll'his was more than a school game, for it was attended by students from every high school in the league and by hundreds of townsfolk. The merchants cooperated by closing their stores during game time, thus enabling all the local fans to attend. Prospects for the 1935 grid season are not as dull as might be, despite the loss of sixteen seniors through graduation. Four of the nineteen lettermen will be back. ln addition, there are many pros- pects to be developed from the second and third squads and the B team. ln a junior-senior practice game at the end of the season, the juniors held the veterans 13-6. The seniors who leave the varsity this spring are: Armstrong, Burleson, Corral, Inglis, Kirk, lllahan, Klartel, llloore, hlurr, B. Pena. R. Pena, Robinson, Stewart, Vaughn, Wilsrmli.
