School opened January 8th, after two weeks’ vacation through the holi- days. We are glad to welcome into the school a large class of Ireshmen and join in wishing them a Happy New Year. The school has begun with all school spirit possible. The school activities have been entered into by a large number of students, and we expect some assistance from the Fresh- men, whom we know will be willing to aid in making school a pleasure. The orchestra has begun their work, and the Girls Glee Club, which has received many new members, is expecting to do some interesting work un- der their energetic supervisor, Mrs. Mills. The usual Wednesday morning programs are always enjoyed by all of the students. We sincerely hope to hear from the Freshmen. The first program consisted of three numbers, as follows: Vocal Solo, “The Night Has a Thousand Eyes”; “The Parting EL OUT Gig cia nsrors aPael s mael s Aa care Ur ae hoa al eapriaee Perieic eEN ae Reyna Berka Instrumental Solo, Gondelied-Mendelssohn................

The Society holds weekly meetings. Debating is fast becoming a popular activity. The team defeated Analy High last term and hope to duplicate the feat when they meet Sonoma High next month.

A happier twelve could not have been found in the school than Tom and his associates on the next Saturday, as they boarded the train that was to take them to Montford. Hazel Devoto. — — s-

THE ECHO 13 that Opportunity knocks at a person’s door but once in a lifetime. That time is certainly during his school career; for all the opportunities of phy- sical, moral, and intellectual development are before him. Freshmen, do your share toward making Santa Rosa High a power for good; give your talent to the best of your ability ; give your intellectual abil- ity in order that there may be a high standard of scholarship; support the various forms of athletics with enthusiasm every time you have a chance; always throw your influence toward what is right; encourage the musical organizations and participate in them as far as your time and ability will permit; support the high school paper , both by subscribing and by contrib- uting material. Remember, you are now high school students and it is your duty to support the school and keep the Black and Gold always waving from the pole of success. Students, set a good example for the Freshmen by paying your dues promptly. According to our revised constitution, Student Body dues for the entire term, must be paid during the first month. The old fine for delin- quency has been doubled, so beware. A great manly more-students paid dues during last semester than during the previous one; but even so, everyone should pay, and pay promptly. A person, who is willing to be classed with loyal students of S. R. H. S. and to enjoy the honor won by them, and who will not pay his dues, will crawl under a circus-tent to see the show. If anyone can show us the difference between the motives prompting the two acts, will he please elucidate? THANKS! Several members of the drawing class have presented the school with two very pretty models. Their thoughtfulness and kindness is appreciated both by Miss Abeel and the other members of the class. SUBSCRIPTION NOTICE All who have not yet subscribed for The Echo, can get the remaining five issues, including the big commencement number, which is worth the price you pay for all five, for fifty cents. The first issue of this term be- longs to last term’s subscriptions. This is the reason why Freshmen and new subscribers were charged sixty cents for the six issues this term. Re- member, the more subscribers, the better the paper!

= BOYS’ ATHLETICS Another school term has commenced and a lot of new material is in the school. The “husky Freshmen” will no doubt do their best for the honor of Santa Rosa High School. Now, Freshmen, that you are in the High School, you want to make something out of yourselves in athletics as well as in your studies. There are many branches to choose from: track, basketball, football and baseball. We especially urge every boy in school, both “big” and “little,” to try for the track team. The track season will soon commence, and with Mr. Steele as coach, we expect to have a winning team in the field. We lost our captain, Will Lambert, by graduation, and will feel his loss keenly. Of last year’s team we have E. Wilson, A. Bettini, C. Clark, L. Chap- man, R. Miller, R. Slyter, Don Cameron, J. Coon, V. King, C. Gore, F. Ped- ersen, F, Argyle and N. Larimer. We certainly are glad to have Ben Drake with us again, because he is a “booster” of all athletics and will strengthen the track team by throwing the hammer, Lawrence Chapman deserves special mention for his grit. Last fall when he returned to school he was under the doctor’s care. He was needed badly and responded to the call and did his best. We sincerely hope he will be in condition this spring. If he be, it is a safe bet that he will not be beaten by any man on the coast. The most promising first-term men are: Harry Trembley, Roger O’Con- nor, George Powers, Harry Lindstein, Ernest Bacigalupi and John Hattie. Our team will be chosen by fair try-outs, so that every one will have a chance. Perhaps you will not make the big team at first, but by your trying you give competition to those that do, and in due time you will be successful. By the time this paper reaches you the basketball season will be finished, and we wish to thank every one who supported us. We have won three games and lost one. The baseball season will not open until the latter part of the term. Rugby football was adopted this year, due to the untiring efforts of Mr.
