= 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.

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-

16 THE ECHO Fred M cConnell, as coach. We won one game and lost one. Next fall will be the open season for this sport. Last but not least, comes the “Rooting Section.” Everyone can get be- hind the yell-leader and “boost.” Don't be a dead-head! GIRLS ATHLETICS The girls have been very successful during the past term, and with the new material among the Freshmen, will in all probability be more successful during the coming semester. Two games were played with Sebastopol during the past month, Decem- ber. The first game resulted in a score of 16 to 4 in favor of Santa Rosa, and the second, which was played on December 22, ended with a score of 10 to 7 in our favor. In each succeeding game with Sebastopol, the Sebastopol girls made a better showing, and the future games that will be played between S. R. H. S. and A. C. H. S. will undoubtedly be very exciting, and our girls will have to play their best in order to win. On December 15 a game was played with St. Helena, on their own floor. This game made the S. R. H. S. team the champion team of the S. N.S. C. A. L., and also gave them the cup which is the first won by the girls’ team. It is hoped they will win it the three times required to keep it permanently The score was 19 to 15. If the I reshmen wish to help the girls keep their excellent record, they must come out and practice at the hall, and we will keep the championship and the cup. A splendid donation has been made by an admirer of the basketball team to the members of the girls’ team of this school. It consists of eight orange and black sweaters, a gift which is greatly appreciated not only by the posses- sors of the same, but by the whole school. ,
