Motto—“To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yteld., We entered as lowly freshmen in the fall of 20. We are now going out as dignified seniors, this spring of °24. We have gone through all the necessary experiences, with new ones added. to graduate. We are glad to go on, but we regret to leave our best best friends, the students, the teachers, the librarians, and last but not least, the citizens. For have we not spent much of our time on the main street in town? Much gratitude is due these citizens for their generosity in letting us_use their buildings. We are wholly thankful to them. Will we make good as we go on? I say “Yes,” because we have been the peppiest go-getters of any class. Each one has done some- thing for our high school. The most prominent athletes are Seniors. We are proud of them. A senior Aggie went back to Chicago on the stock judging team, and came back with honors. All this goes to show we are a pretty good class. Long live the Seniors!

S. A., the Earth, the Universe, do give, bequeath, and devise the following, to-wit: II To the School: (1) The memory of our bright and shining faces in the midst of discouragements and English teachers, and (2) The right to criticize us after we are gone. III To the Class of ’25: (1) The privilege of wearing the Senior colors, and the responsibility of guarding them at all times against hostile Juniors. (2) The right to assume Senior dignity and subdue eccentric lower classmen. (3) The ability to cut gym and manufacture plausible excuses, and, (4) The names that some of our ardent classmates have so painstakingly carved on the desks you will occupy. To the Class of ’26: (1) All the attempt they may care to make to separate the Senior from his dignity. (2) Our permission to barrage the faculty with epithets of any description. (3) Juniors’ privileges (hither- to enjoyed by the Seniors only, with the exception of Mark Noonan and Bob Devoto) in the halls of our warehouse. IN. To the Class of °27: (1) The custom of hammering the frosh. (2) ‘Vhe right to lead all other classes in the number of detention representa- tives. (3) Our vocabulary of synonyms used for faculty members. V I, Mary “Tub” Bonar, bequeath my knowledge of handling redheads unto Esther June Vaughan. I also leave 120 pounds to Doris Leach. VI Feeling oblivion creeping upon me, I, Marjorie Corrick, do leave unto whoever shall wish it, my ability in keeping small boys up in their marks. AYA We, two lonely, six-foot redheads, do leave unto our successors our ability to handle very thin and very stout young ladies. Vill I, Junius Gale, leave my sincerest sympathy to the next young gentle- man who tries to win a stout girl. (Vhirty-three) THE ECHO Oe ee IX I, Henrietta Hahman, feeling loneliness coming upon me with gradu- ation, do leave unto one who did not graduate, my love and best wishes. XxX I, Madge Jackson, do leave unto some other coy and shy young thing, my ability to imitate a phonograph in action. XI We, Marda Leppo and Loise Lagomarsino, leave unto George Lut- trell our influence over Miss O’Meara, so that he may graduate within the coming decade. XII I, Ralph Miller, do leave my coy and debonnaire ways to Noonan and other lovers of stout people. XU Feeling that the end is drawing near, I, Tom McGuire, the Apollo of the graduating class, do leave my Ford delivery truck to Junius Gale, so that he might live half of his school life in front of 837 Fourth Street, in the successful manner that I did. XIV We, Mary Stroyen and Gen Stover, leave our habit of walking home to Dorothy Dearing and Grace Harlan. XV I, Ward Von Tillow, false claimant to the honor of being called red- headed, bequeath my henna dye to numerous others who deign to jom the ranks of this select and exclusive group. My method of bribery used in getting white ballots, I leave to Bill Schaafsma. XVI I, Zita Wylie, do leave unto Joe Davis, my ability of sheiking sheiks so that some day Harold Doig may return to grace our halls. XVII To the faculty members listed below we leave the following: To “Pop” Reynolds, our sincerest hope that some day a chemist will devise a formula that will grow hair on a billiard ball. To Miss O’Meara we give the hand-engraved motto: “Spare the Flunk; Spoil the Child.” To Miss Fields we give our sincere hope that she does not develop the writers’ cramp from writing blue slips in the Study Hall. To Miss Patchett we leave the booklet, “How to Detect Forgery,” by Clark Davis. To Miss De Ruchie we give our sincere thanks for the winning smile that has always been before us. A copy of “Boob McNutt’s Life Story” we leave to Mrs. Yost, in the hope that she may be moved to a higher understanding of students’ in- nocent pranks. The title of “Grand Old Man” we bestow upon Mr. Bartlett, who has always been a friend, a good counselor, and an agreeable teacher. Lastly, we hereby appoint Mrs. E. Carrier sole executor of this, our last will and testament, and do revoke all former wills made by us. In witness whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal. CLASS OF °24. (Seal) By Two, Lonely, Six-foot Kedheads. Mark (Thirty-four) THE ECHO DESERT NIGHTS First prize poem (Written after viewing a picture of a coyote howling at the moon) When Night with her sandals of darkness Has sped o’er the burning sands; And Luna in all her pale glory Hangs high o’er the mountain peak; Then Loneliness with hollow footsteps, Creeps through the portals of Death Valley, Dragging black fear in her wake. The coyote steals out from his refuge, Steals out into this valley of darkness; Gazes with haggard eyes about him, Vainly searching for a shadow Of some breathing, living creature, But sees only whitened sand drifts, Glaring in the silvery moonlight; Sees the purple range of mountains Rising dark, on every side, Hears the lonely cries of kinsmen, Crying out their lonely souls; For the two that roam the desert With the hollow-echoing footsteps, Hold these god-forsaken creatures In their mighty gripping power. So the coyotes lift their voices, To their Maker in the heavens; Crying, wailing out the sadness, Of the lonely, desert life. - —Bessie Downey.

We can look back on what seems a very short while, to the time when we were freshmen. My, how high and mighty the Seniors appeared to us then, and how we longed to be Seniors! But now that we are approaching our Senior year, we wonder if it is so nice to be Seniors after all. The Seniors must set an example to the school, and they must do this, and they must not do that. It’s rather nice to belong to the class of twenty-five, after all. Especially when they are the class of the school. Who is it that has the athletes and the clever students of the school? Why, it’s the Juniors, of course. Who is it that gets what they go after, and finishes what they start to do? It’s the class of Twenty-Five,—who else could it be? So, here’s to the class of Twenty-Five. Nola Mead. (Thirty-eight) Auniar Autographs ot my (Thirty-nine) THE ECHO (Forty) SOPHOMORE CLASS THE ECHO Sophomore Autographs AU ge oe C .

In the past, as little, green Freshmen, how we used to wander through the big study hall and in the buildings, gazing with wonder at the many new things we saw. Didn’t we wish that we were Seniors, sitting in the back rows of study-hall, reading newspapers, and doing other things that we were afraid to do, because we sat in the very front row? Now we are Sophomores, entering into all the school activities with a vim, vigor and vitality that will make the rest of the school take notice. Our scholarship record was good this year, and we were well represented in athletics, there being several of our members on the 130 pound basketball team and on the baseball and track teams. In the future, though, just watch us! Next year we will be Juniors (big boys and girls), and then—Seniors ready to take up our real life’s work and make a name for ourselves in the world.

With a total enrollment of two hundred and forty-eight students, the Freshman class started the Fall term with a reception given by the Seniors which proved to be the most successful event of the year. Considerable interest was taken in the Freshmen this year, due to the fact that we were among the leaders in school activities. Francis Tos- cani was yell leader for the Student Body. Clark Mailer, sprinter, Joe Panick, football star, and Don Moore, also of the eleven, proved to be the outstanding athletes of the class. The Spring reception, for the seventy-five new members of the class, which closed the Freshman entertainments for the year, showed the merits of the class of ’27, which expects to uphold its reputation in future years.

The school as a whole got behind its elected officers and put over all the activities in fine style. The first big event of the term was the Freshman reception. It was the largest event in our school history, and everybody present had a most enjoyable time. Next came the big Student Body party in January. This also was a great success. ; All during the year we have had interesting assemblies and rallies. It was at these meetings especially that school spirit predominated. Towards the end of the year we joined the California Scholastic Federation. This was a big step forward in an endeavor to raise the already high standard of scholarship in Santa Rosa High School. As the crowning event of a most successful year, we fostered the school carnival, the biggest event of the school year. There was a parade aand many excellent attractions, all of which made the carnival a decided success. The treasury of the Student Body was also consider- ably replenished. : ; Ward von Tillow.

We see the sterling friendship of our fellow classmen and teachers. We recall the good times, the school parties, the pic- nies, and our athletic victories in which we took so much pride, and to which we gave our utmost sup- port. How we worked on commit- tees; how we yelled at the games; how we worked for good grades. And now it is only a memory, a vision of the past. And what a happy memory it is. But here we must pause for reflection. It was a bright autumn morning, and the thought of finishing the freshman initiation with a few.of the usual pranks, or of playing ball, was in our minds. But instead of the usual group, we saw the ln Lay = his gathered in front of the charre¢ E. H. BARKER, Principal eins ofS RES. Through these three years since the fire we have labored under difficulties, and made the best of our opportunities. Much credit is due to our teachers, who have worked on under the most trying conditions. They have endeavored to continue normally under adverse conditions, among which, lack of room, lack of heating and ventilation, and the school library destroyed, were not the most disagreeable. We have held together although our classes were separated. But those days are gone forever, not only for us, but for Santa Rosa High School. A new high school is being completed, and the graduating class of °25 will receive their diplomas in its auditorium, THANKS The staff of this issue of the Echo wishes to thank all those who have helped make this publication of the class of ’24 a success. Among those who have given their time and untiring efforts are: Mr. Barker, who assisted in the proof reading; Mr. Bennyhoff, of the Commercial de- partment; Mrs. Waters, of the Art department; Mr. Johnson, of the Mechanical Drawing department; the English teachers, who are re- sponsible for the good work in the literary section; and especially do we thank our staff advisor and best friend, Miss DeRuchie.

Fine ladies sought him to paint their portraits. Kings and potentates favored him. He was hailed as the genius of the age. But the artist was not happy. He was not satisfied with his own work; nor was he satisfied with his models. Far and near he sought. Rich and poor, young and old, were pictured as subjects for his talented brush. Many colors he used; many hours he spent upon his work. Many ad- mired his work, but their praise seemed empty to the ears of the artist, for he knew that his work was not complete; that something was miss- ing. Many sleepless nights he spent praying to the Virgin to give him the model he desired. On one of these nights, his tired eyes closed when dawn began to pink the housetops. And, as he slept, he dreamed. In his dream, it seemed as if he were standing in the corner of a small stable, lighted only by a lantern, which gave forth a dim, flickering light. Seated in a manger at one side of the stable was a woman in a gray, peasant’s gown. She held in her arms a tiny child, wrapped in swaddling clothes. While the artist looked, she lifted her face, and the artist gasped—and awoke. The artist ate no breakfast that morning. He hastened on his cloth- ing, and, turning to a fresh canvas, started to paint. And his heart sang joyfully, because, at last, he had found his subject. For when the woman in his dream had lifted her face to the lamp-light, her face had been that of Mary, and her eyes the Virgin’s. All day he painted, neither pausing, nor eating. Who could tire of such a subject? Beneath his fingers it grew; the dim stable, the child in its mother’s arms, the peasant’s robes of the queen, All was finished but the face of the Holy Mother. There he stopped, and awoke to the realization that he was tired and hungry, for he had worked all day and far into the second night. He lay down until daybreak, and then fared forth to an inn to fill his empty stomach. As he went out the door, there accosted him a small boy, a beggar, whose eyes pleaded as he said: “Food, Senor, food.” “T have nothing for you,” answered the artist, pushing the child roughly aside. He thought no more of the incident, but went to his favorite inn, ate heartily, and returned to work. But something had gone from him. Try as he might, he could not picture the face of the Virgin as he had seen it in that wonderful dream. “T am tired,” he thought. He slept, and awoke refreshed, next morning. Again he tried to paint, but in vain. It was impossible. Day after day he tried, but with no results. The fruit of his brush was but a common face; beautiful, it is true, but without that divine light that had seemed to burn itself into his soul. With that face in his heart, he could paint nothing else. One by one, his clients fell off. It was whispered that he was mad, but little he cared. He would paint that face if it took a lifetime. (Fifty-four) THE ECHO rn One day, as he left his house, the same child came up to him. From his white lips came the same hungry cry, “Food, food.” Was it remembrance of the Virgin’s divine eyes? Who can say? The artist looked down, and gently asked: “Art hungry, my son?” “Yes. For many days, Senor,” was the simple reply. “Then thou must come with me and eat.” And, with this, he took the child by the hand and led him to the inn, where they both ate—the child ravenously. When he had finished, the artist asked: “Where do you live, my lad?” “Anywhere and nowhere, Senor. Wherever there is chance of food. there I sleep. And it is so cold in winter,” with an involuntary shiver, “Then thou must come home with me. [ have need of a boy in my house, for it is very lonely.” And, with that, the artist took the child by the hand. And, as he took it, a thrill passed through him. Suddenly he felt as if he could paint that picture. He hastened home, and, placing the sleepy child in his bed, he seized the brush in his hand and began to paint. “And, lo, what wonder! For the pale, gentle face, the soft eyes, the mother look, the holy look of his handiwork was that of his dream. And as the artist stood, spellbound, before his completed picture, a voice spoke in his soul, which said: “Ye could not paint My Mother’s face without love in your heart.” Viola Cornett. THE ANSWERING CALL Then came the war, The war, that awful war, Then came the roar of cannons And the shriek of men. A voice, a wonderful voice, The voice of Civilization, cried out, Cried out for help In a low and pleading tone. Then came the eall, Then came the answering call, The call of Power, The call to arms. Then came peace, Peace, wonderful peace, Then again spoke Civilization, Spoke in a tone of thankfulness. “Thank thee, of mighty America, Thank thee, for thy help so strong. Thank thee for thy help, r. Thy help against the cause of wrong. : hie Jess Rankin. (Fifty-five) THE ECHO ee Se a ee IRONIES OF DEATH (Second Prize Story) The silent night was awakened by a low, dull roar. Nearer and nearer it came; the sounds echoed among the silent, bare crags and down the deep canyons in a ghostly manner. A great, blinding light swept the silent pines in a mighty are; grotesque shadows flitted here and there, as, with a groaning screech, a long freight train swung around the shoulder of the mountain, rumbled hollowly across the deep ravine and wound its way into the mountains, the green lights shining clearly thru the clear air. Gradually the train drew away, and gradu- ally silence crept back, until the moon gazed down again upon a silent world. A man lay by a dry streamlet, gazing upwards at the lights passing over him. He scowled upwards and then crept deeper into his tattered blanket, and shivered with cold. “Damn that railroad!” he grunted, as he gazed moodily into his small campfire. He had just spent six months working on roads and in stuffy workshops, and spent his nights in a stone cell with iron bars, all just because he had been cold, and had burnt a few of the railroad’s ties. Six months of hell—just because a fellow tried to keep warm! And here he was, after coming over a hundred miles. What for? Revenge—yes, revenge! He would show them how safe it was to lock up a man like him! He’d derail a train, or blow up a bridge, or—or something. Thus thinking, he turned over and slept. That night, perhaps, he dreamt of crashing trains, roaring coaches, and mangled bodies; but, toward morning, his dreams seemed pretty real. He woke up. “Funny, I can smell smoke,” he mused, sleepily; “too bad it isn’t the president’s office, with him and all his company inside. Not such a bad idea; maybe he’d find out when they were going to get together and use dynamite instead of matches. Sure was funny, how a dream hung over! Something like last night's party.” He laughed. “Well, better get up.” He rolled over, and then, with a gasp, sprang to his feet. One great timber of the trestle was on fire, and the flames were fast mounting the framework. “Here’s a pretty how d’ye do!” he mused. “Id better clear out, pronto!” He gathered up his meagre belongings and pulled out his watch to see the tic. Three o’clock, and daylight would come at about five. A pretty good start; not much, but enough. Suddenly he stopped. Three o’clock, eh? He laughed, and slapped his leg. What d’ye think? The South Cent ral’s Crack Flyer would be along at four. Oh, Boy! He’d dreamed of revenge, and here it was. “So careless of me, not to put out my campfire and let the trestle burn. Ought to get slapped on the wrist!” He laughed, and without further ado, sprang quickly up the side of the ravine, and, gaining the track, walked rapidly up and around the turn. Yes, he was right—the engineer wouldn’t be able to see the fire until he had come around the curve, and then—so careless of the railroad to put their trestles so close to the rocks! He glanced up, and, in the light of the dying moon, saw that he would be able to scale the steep side of the mountain. (Fifty-six) THE ECHO “Now for a_bird’s-eye-view,” he chuckled. He reached up and grasped a projection and drew himself upwards. From the top he would be able to see all—the train sweeping around the turn, the erinding brakes, and then the smash—a million odd sounds of iron and steel hitting the bottom! Sweating and swearing, he worked his way upwards. Now a root, now a ledge—slowly he strained toward the top. He had gone about thirty feet, and his goal was yet twenty feet away. He reached up and grasped a root, then grasped it with his other hand, and pulled. There was a snap of wood—he gave a cry as he toppled backwards— there was a rush of gravel and then a dull thud as his head struck the iron rail. ; He did not hear the approaching train or know when he was flooded with white light. He did not hear the running footsteps or gasps as the burning trestle came in view. The engineer sent the conductor back to warn other trains, and muttered, “Poor fellow killed trying to save us.” Harold Jacobs.

(Fifty-seven) THE ECHO SCROOGE CHANGES HIS MIND (Third Prize Story) Scrooge was mad. It was Christmas Eve, and, although the air was biting cold and a drizzling rain was falling, every car that passed had a load of smiling humanity, every pedestrian in sight seemed to have a certain spring in his step that characterized cheer and good will; for the next day was Christmas. And is not Christmas a time for everybody to be happy? Not so with Scrooge. He had just phoned to Mrs. Henley, one of his old tenants, who had faithfully paid him his rent on the twelfth of every month for over fourteen years, but had failed now for the first time. Scrooge was determined to wrest twenty dollars from Mrs. Henley, or “dump her,” as he sourly repeated to himself as he trudged along in the night. What if old man Henley was sick and couldn’t pay his rent till the next month? What if little Jack, the fifth child of Mrs. Henley, had broken his arm the week before. Mrs. Henley had tearfully asked Scrooge if he would not wait a few weeks, and in Scrooge’s angered mind it now seemed to him a demand, so he again decided that he would “dump” her and the “hull famly” and let them spend their Christmas wherever they might. Scrooge was mad. As he turned the corner and came in sight of the flat where Mrs. Henley lived, he noticed that a little hunchback, not over seven years old, was plodding on, a few feet in front of him. He also noticed that the little urchin lacked the amount of clothes necessary to keep him warm on such a night, and that an alarming lot of goose-pimples covered the six square inches of leg that shone through an ugly tear in the dirty stocking, truthful evidence of the chills that were con- stantly passing up and down his curved spine. Somehow Scrooge became interested in the little waif, and noticed that he was talking to himself, unaware of Scrooge’s presence. “Gosh, four nickels. Let’s see, ten, fifteen, twenty cents. That'll buy me, now let’s see, three, six, twelve doughnuts, and I ain’t eaten since I sold my last paper this morning. Gee, but it’s cold! Now Ill sat six of °em and—Holy Mackerel, tomorrer’s Christmas. Ummm boy, Pll only eat four doughnuts tonight and then I'll have a big feed on Christmas and then I'll work some more and have some more money on the next day. Yep. Hullo, Pete!” This salutation, Scrooge noticed, was directed to a companion-in- misery who was standing in the doorway of a small restaurant located just below Mrs. Henley’s flat. The second boy was probably a little younger than the hunchback, and a close observer could see that he, too, was hungry, very hungry. “Wotcha doin’?” Aw nothin’, I was just lookin’ at them big doughnuts. Don’t they look swell!” “TIl say; let’s buy some.” “Naw, I ain’t hungry,” came from the second boy, but it was simple to see that he lied, manfully lied. Scrooge saw that the child he had followed saw, too, that the younger boy had lied. “Aintcha got any jack?” he queried in a low, extremely sympathetic voice. (Fifty-eight) THE ECHO “Naw.” A moment’s silence, then: “Tell ya what Ill do, Pete, I just had a swell feed a while ago, an’ I got twenty cents left. Tell ya what I'll do. You kin have the money for a Christmas present.” “Say, do ya mean it?” “Sure, J couldn’t use the coin anyway. Here, you take it, and Tl run up and see how Mrs. Henley’s kid is comin’ along with his arm.” Scrooge saw four nickels fall into the outstretched palm of the younger boy, one at a time. “S’long, Pete.” “S’long, Slumpy, and say, thanks fer the money, I sure was hungry.” “Sure, glad to give it to ya.” Slumpy’s eyes followed his friend as he disappeared into the res- taurant. A pathetic little smile shone through his tears, and with a great sigh, he turned to leave the restaurant, after a last glance at the big doughnuts in the window. Then, for the first time, he became aware of a tall man in a big fur coat, gazing at him, a big tear rolling down each cheek. He paid little attention to Scrooge, and started to pass him. Scrooge, however, would not let him pass. Laying a big hand on the skinny little shoulder, he said: “Come on, Slumpy, let’s go in and help Pete eat some of those big doughnuts, and after that we'll have some——.” Half an hour later Mrs. Henley opened her front door in response to a knock, and confronted her landlord. “Why hello, Mr. Scrooge, won’t you come in?” “No, thanks, Mrs. Henley, I just came over to see how Mr. Henley and the boys are, to wish you all a Merry Christmas, and to say,” he added as he turned to go, “don’t let the rent worry you.” Clark Davis. THE SUM (Second Prize Poem) A little dreaming by the way, A little toiling day by day; A little pain, a bit of strife, A little joy,—and that is life. The beauty of an April morn, When life and joy seem newly born; The arching blue of sky above, The song of birds,—and that is love. A little sickness through the years, The memory of a few warm tears; Folded hands, and silent breath, Peace at last,—and that is death. Melvin Albertson ’25. (Fifty-nine) THE ECHO The Regaining of the Vanishing Prestige of Fremont Bean Life was a terrible burden to Fremont. In all his fifteen winters he had never felt so discouraged and downtrodden. He wondered why girls should hate tall, light-complectioned, heavy-set fellows, with short, stiff hair, dreamy eyes and a million dollar smile, and fall for queer per- sons who boasted of nothing more than a dislike for aesthetic things. Why was it that every girl should turn her head when he approached io give her a treat by letting her gaze upon him. Then Fremont stopped and meditated. Perhaps he should use cave- man tactics. His brother was somewhat of a rounder and he thought maybe he would part with some of his knowledge, but no, the little brother must figure out his own methods to win the girls. Was Fremont the man to quit at this stage of the game? Nay. He remembered Queen Elizabeth’s famous creed: “Keep your shirt on, Walt,” and he resolved to win back that old prestige that was once his, if it took brute strength to do it. He soon resolved that he could only succeed through strategy. And then he thought of the beautiful poem written thousands of years ago by Aesop. The Kid was fast; yes, he was clever. Too bad he missed that right; But the boiler maker he missed never, And so it was the Kid’s last fight. Fremont determined to profit by the Kid’s mistake and make his first stroke a masterful blow that would bring the clamoring multitude to his feet, making ail further efforts unnecessary. A real sheik or so-called snake would take the easiest method, but not Fremont Bean. He would meet the self-same brutes that had driven him to desperate methods, and, furthermore, meet them on their own ground. Desperate circumstances call for desperate methods, and Fremont had resolved to cast all discretion to the winds and go out for football. That same afternoon he realized all too suddendy what he had undertaken. Broken and bruised, he was dragged to a shady spot, but the old fight of his ancestors surged in his blood and he re-entered the fray time after time. After several days he grew more confident and it seemed as if only injuries would prevent him from winning out in his hard uphill fight against nature. His status was all but determined on the team. It was only two weeks until the big game, and a two-fold victory—his team and himself. As the time wore on Fremont worked harder than ever and his former enemies were actually addressing him in a jovial friendly manner, although their use of adjectives was not quite proper. And then came the big day when victory would smile upon his scarred out handsome brow. From the field he viewed the crowds on the side lines and figured out just where he would fall—never to rise—he would show her (all six of them) by the mute example of his battered body, that he was capable of great things. , The game started and the play was fast and furious. The crowd (Sixty) THE ECHO showed their pleasure by clapping their hands and emitting little gurgles cf joy. But suddenly the game stopped. Somebody was hurt! The coach rushed upon the field and tried to soothe the athlete who was writhing in agony. “Water!” cried somebody, and the cry was passed from inouth to mouth. Suddenly the water boy dashed down the whole length of the field with a bottle of iodine in one hand and a bucket of water swinging from the other. All was ina turmoil and play was being ready to be resumed, Fremont was pleasantly surprised and exalted to hear the coach address him in loud tones. “Listen here, young Bean, if you can’t pack that water bucket the way you've been trained to do, the bench you go!” idee Thus ends the romantic story of Fremont’s first year of practical foot- ball experience in dear old S. R. H. S. With apologies, Lloyd B. Nordwick. why back to THE REDWOODS The waves lap softly on the deep blue bay. Between the redwoods stealth’ly Indians run, For on the blue and sparkling waters lay A ship all glowing in the setting sun. The dismal fog goes rolling o’er the land, And shuts out all the beauty of the morn. The white man takes his deadly ax in hand And starts to battle with the trees unshorn. Those beauteous giants who for centuries stood Like sentinels all along the peaceful shore, Were drawn down to the sawmill for their wood; The ocean breeze doth bend their boughs no more. And yet their death was not at all in vain. They rose again, but in a different state. For good of man those giants tall were slain To build him cities, splendid, strong and great. Leonard Cox. CONTENTMENT Away, away, from toil and strife To the wooded hills, to another life, I find myself in a leafy glen Far from the cares and eyes of men. Surrounded by flowers of every hue, Buttercups, popies and lupin blue; All the world seems happy and bright and gay, Would you like to be with me just for a day? ; Helen Walsh. (Sixty-one) THE ECHO FATHER (Second Prize Humorous Essay) Mother songs are plentiful as flies in summer time, but very few songs nave ever been dedicated to father, and those which have are all insults. Thev are “Father, dear father, come home,” “Father’s on the water wag- on now,” and “Everybody works but father.” It should be “Everybody works poor father.” On Saturday nights, when dad is due to hike home and hand over the wages, he is called “Father, dear.” All the rest of the week he is called the old man, or the governor. When a dance or party is on, it ts “Dad. can I have some money?” or “Dad, can I have the car?” It is always dad who is being asked for things. On entering a friend’s house the other night, I noticed over the parlor door a legend worked out in gold letters, “What is home without a mother?” Across the room was another brief “God bless our home.” Now, what’s the matter with “God bless our dad?” or “What is home without a father?” He gets up early in the mornings, lights the fires, boils an egg, grabs his lunch pail and starts to work while the family is still in bed sleeping. He makes the weekly handout to the butcher, the srocer, the milkman and the baker. His little pile is badly worn before he has been home an hour. If there is a noise during the night, who has to go downstairs in the cold to find out what the noise is all about and stop it? Mother darns the socks, but father buys the socks in the first place and the needles and yarn afterwards. Mother puts up the fruit, but dad buys the fruit, the jars and the sugar so she can put them up. He chops the wood, so mother can cook dinner, and supplies food for the house. Dad buys the chickens for the Sunday dinner, carves them himself, and then draws the neck from the ruins after everybody else has been served. “What is home without a mother?” That is all right, but “What is home without a father?” Dad—here’s to you. You may have your faults—you may have many of them—but we would miss you if you were gone. In closing, I am reminded of a story I once read in a book. A kinder- garten teacher asked the class, “What animal supplies food, and leather for your shoes?” And the reply of a bright little boy was “Father.” Richmond Cuneo °25 MAUNA LOA On a beautiful isle, in a sea of the South Stands a gray-sloped earthen tower Whose smoking, rumbling, flaming mouth Proclaims the pent up power ; Of a mountain of destruction On an island of production.

(Sixty-two) THE ECHO GOLF AT PAW PAW FLAT While traveling through Arkansaw about two years ago, I hap- pened to stop off at a one-horse town with one store, a blacksmith shop and livery stable. As I had to stay there for some days I used to sit on the front porch of the store and listen to the old Arkansaweres tell of some of their experiences. One day while sitting there with three old fellows, one of them turned to me and said: “Say, mister, did you all ever play golf?” I told him that I had played golf a few times, and this is the story that he told me of his experience in playing golf. “Wall,” he said, “about two months ago the boys sed to me, ‘Uncle we'd like to hav’ you cum out and play a game of golf.’ Wall, they took me out behind the woodshed whar mother couldn’t see us and them darn boys dressed me up in the doggondest suit of clothes I ever had on in my life. I had on a pair of socks that had more different colors in ’em than in Joseph’s coat. I looked like a cross between a monkey and a curkus rider, and a-goin’ across the medder our turkey gobbler took after me and I had an awful time with that fool bird. I calculate as how I'll get even with him bout Thanksgiving time. Wall, the boys took me into the paster and they had it all dug up into what they called a “T,” and they had a wheelbarrow full of little Injin war clubs. They calls one a nibbler, and another a brassie, and a lot other fool names I never heard before, and can’t remember now. Then they brought out a little wooden ball bout as big as a hen’s egg, and they stuck it up on a little hunk of mud. Then they told me to take one of them thar war clubs and stand alongside of the ball and hit it. Wall, I jist peeled off my coat and got a good holt on thot war club and I jist whaled away at thot durned little ball and by gum, I missed it and all the boys commenced to holler “foozle.” Wall, I got a little bit riled and whaled away at it again and hit it right whar I missed it the fust time, and I whirled round and sot down so darn hard I sot four back teeth to akin and I pawed round in the air and knocked a lot of it out of place. I hit myself on the shin and on the pet co rn at the same time, and them durned boys wuz jist a-rollin’ round on the ground and a-hollern like Injins.

Gerold Miller. ——— lo SIGNOR SAPINELLI AT THE BALL GAME This is told by Signor Sapinelli, the little wop, of Welt Point street, S. F. It happened to be the first ball game he had ever seen in his life. He could not speak very plain English and he was telling an acquaint- ance all about the game. Lasta weeka I hava greata biga tam.

A PICTURE The lingering rays of the setting sun Softly withdraw from ’midst the giant trees; Who whisper secrets of the solitude, As their leaves are tossed gently in the breeze. On lofty mountain peaks in the distance, That stand as sentinels above the plain, The glittering snow reflects the beauties Of a grandeur not created in vain. Tinted in harmonious colors rare Hach fleecy cloud that floats silently by, Above wooded valley and mountain slope Where monarchs are striving to reach the sky. Swiftly twilight steals o’er that quiet scene, Lengthening shadows seeming to unite As the bright glories of a summer day Submerge into the tranquilness of night. The sky changing from blue to purple gray Is suddenly pierced by one blinking star. Quietness is broken by one shrill note When a night bird calls to its mate afar. The rising moon sends out its pale half light; Moonbeams seekin g every shadowy nook; Producing a dazzling silver sheet By kissing each wave of a murmring brook. Swiftly a deer advances through the gloom Pausing to drink at the edge of the stream, To flee at the cry of a hungry wolf. Then stillness, wrapped in night that reigns supreme. Herbert Schulze. [TWILIGHT I shall stand in worshipful silence and watch the sun go down; I shall see the shadows lengthen, reaching from town to town; I shall see the clouds of sunset blaze and burn and smoulder away Til the whole West is dim purple and gloomy gray. I shall see the land grow dark, see the stars blaze white: I shall hear distant howl of some prowler of the night. I shall hear the gentle ‘alling of night birds flying low, And the wailing and the sighing of the night winds that blow; I shall stand there ’till the whole world is dark with night, ‘Till all sounds are silenced, ’till stars are my only light. Then, shall I have the whole world to myself, Then, may I think and dream And vainly wonder and guess at he whole world’s scheme. Elaine Hays. Richard Cuneo.

I’m not in Santa Rosa High School any longer, for | graduated last night. I hate to think of not going back, because I had such a good time in my Senior year. We always have so much fun at the Freshman reception. As usual, everyone had a wonderful time at the Fall reception. The Freshman president surprised us upper classmen with a real oration in answer to President Von Tillow’s welcome. Then the Girls had their annual Kids’ Party. It gave us a thrill to see certain very dignified faculty members attired as infants! We were given all-day suckers and Eskimo pies for refreshments. We made a lot of noise—not eating, but dancing and playing games. The Seniors always give the Juniors a dance. They gave an excep- tionally good one last Fall. Did you know that our football team won the championship of the Northwestern League? The Girls’ League gave the boys a banquet, and it was a great success. Nancy Knight and Marjorie Corrick danced, and a jazz orchestra entertained the “Heroes” between qu very interesting talks by members of the Board of Education, the fac- ulty, and school department. At Christmas time there was a Leap Year dance. This was a lot of fun for a change. I wish you could have seen the decorations for the Parnassus So- ciety party! Some original members decorated in fourteen different shades of crepe paper, and it was darling. We had lots of fun that night. You should have seen Tom McGuire dancing with little Jane Lowell at the Spring Freshman reception! There were several dances, when Freshmen danced only with Seniors. It gave the Freshies a fine chance to get acquainted with the upper classmen. Have I told you about the Girls’ Jinx we have every Spring? The girls all come in any sort of ridiculous costumes, and dance. There are prizes for the funniest, most original, and prettiest costumes. This year, there was an unusual variety of costumes—everything from a representation of Teapot Dome to a gang of convicts. The Juniors gave the Seniors a farewell party, and it was a great success. They ‘always give such good parties. These are the parties and some of the good times we had this year in High School. Do you blame me for not wanting to leave it? As ever, Beverly. (Sixty-eight) THE ECHO THE GIRLS’ LEAGUE. The main purpose of the Girls’ League is to promote our community and our school. Though it is only two years old, what it has accom- plished is remarkable. Through this League, the girls have become acquainted with one an- other and are able to take part in school functions, This is the second year of the Senior Sister system, which has been a great help to the Freshman girls. Each girl in the Senior class is given two or three Freshman girls to help. The Girls’ League is governed by a constitution and by representatives from various classes. The programs for this year have been both suggestive and helpful. Several nurses have spoken to the girls about nursing as a vocation. Other topics have been social service, landscape gardening, interior decorating, and music. The Girls’ League has given three parties this year. The Kids’ party and the Football Banquet were under the management of Elaine Badger. As her work was comple ted in January, Marda Leppo was appointed to fill the vacancy. Under her direction, the Girls’ Jinx was given. The greatest event of the League this year was the assembly and luncheon in honor of the representatives of the various Girls’ Leagues in the county. A special musical program was arranged, and each representative told something about the work of her League. After the assembly, the officers, the representatives and three faculty members adjourned to the Anna May Tea Room for luncheon. Before the guests departed they were shown the ten buildings in which class recitations are held in the Santa Rosa High School. Another accomplishment of the Girls’ League this term was the estab- lishment in the Congregational Church of a rest room for the girls. The League is divided into four departments: the program depart- ment, in charge of the president; the social service department, in charge of the vice-president; hospitality department, in charge of the secretary; and civic activities, in charge of the treasurer. Our advisors, Miss Patchett, Vice-Principal, Miss Struckmeyer, and Mrs. Carrier, have aided us in every possible way to make our League successful. ; : May the Girls’ League prosper in the future as it has in the past!

It is composed of a group of students with high scholarship records, who seek enjoyment in a wider knowledge of literature and music. The meetings are held the first and last Thursday of every month. One faculty representative is always present. This semester we have had several business meetings, with a program composed of a variety of things, such as readings, music, and lectures. One complete even- ing was devoted to Robert Louis Stevenson. Interesting incidents in his life were related and his writings were discussed. Then came our ?arnassus dance. Each Parnassus member was limited to one guest. The auditorium was artistically decorated, and the music was excep- tionally good. Everyone proclaimed it the best dance of the year. Following our dance, came the “Kipling” evening, at which we dis- cussed Kipling’s works and his life. Lastly, we voted in new mem- bers to carry on the work the following term, and an initiation was held. At this affair, those who aspire to literary fame were duly inaugurated into our midst. Aside from discussing the literary merits of great men and women, we enjoy a social and general get-together time. Refreshments are served at the conclusion of each meeting, and we adjourn, to think of the delightful evening we have spent, and to await eagerly the an- nouncement, “Parnassus meets tonight.” Elaine Badger °24.

CHORUS The Girls’ Chorus has become so popular that it became necessary for Miss Cochrane to form two chorus classes; one composed of Junior and Senior girls and the other of Freshmen and Sophomore girls. A great deal of time has been spent in hard study and preparation this year, which has made the appearance of the chorus so successful, At the laying of the corner stone of our new school, the girls sang “With Martial Music,” Verdi; “The Heavens Resound,” Beethoven; and also “Praise Ye the Father,” Gounod, with the Boys’ Glee, and accompanied by the high school orchestra. The girls helped to make the operetta a success, inspired by the wonderful leadership of Miss Cochrane, ‘Chey are now working on the songs that they will sing at the graduation exercises, which will most certainly show the public their ability and also their love and appreciation of music. Miss Mary Temple is the accompanist, who is much appreciated by the girls and who has been faithful in her work throughout the year. THE ALLA CAPELLA SEXTETTE One of the most successful High School organizations of the past year was the Alla Capella Sextette, composed of the following girls: Sopranos, Hilda Tweed and Goldie Martin; Mezzo-Sopranos, Ellen Townsend and Kathryn Bennyhoff; Contraltos, Mildred Patton and Gwendolyn Pye. They have sung before many prominent organizations of the city, and have met with paramount success at all times. Their first appearance was at the Ralph Streeter Benefit. Afterwards they gave interesting programs at the Parent Teacher Association, Presbyterian Church, Football Banquet, Girls’ League Assembly, High School Assembly, Masons’ Educational Week, Saturday Afternoon Club, Parent Teachers Convention, and assisted the Public Speaking Class at the Strand Theatre. They also helped in school activities by singing between acts at the operetta, and provided the music for the Baccalaureate sermon and gave part of the music for graduation. _ Besides the pleasure that has been given to other people, the girls as individuals feel that they have gained much from the training that they received from Miss Cochrane. (Seventy-nine) «AGI SALVUId AHL, NOU 1% =. wt J ‘ oS a cme ee THE ECHO THE PIRATE’S BRIDE “The Pirate’s Bride,” the comic opera given by the music department of the Santa Rosa High School, May 6, 1924, at the G. S. Theatre, was a huge success. The large audience that filled the theatre was delighted from the opening number to the finale of the opera. Hand after hand of applause rewarded the efforts of the talented cast after every num- ber and many encores were demanded and graciously given. Undoubtedly the success of the production was due to Miss Helen Cochrane, head of the music department, whose splendid directing and great patience made the production a success. Miss Mildred Turner _¢ ee had charge of the dif- ferent dancing numbers : with her usual capable manner, and the dan- cers received many compliments. é Much credit is also i A due to Mary Temple, the accompanist, who ri handled her part of the production with artistic , il ai I ability and musical skill. The Junior College 4 h orchestra also played their part in the “SS@aur production well. There is no need to a tell of the excellent work of the principals. The parts seemed to fit eachindividual, and , they manifested both training of merit and voices of charm. The work of the Girls’ 3 Chorus and members of the Boys’ Glee Club ; should also receive spe- cial mention. During the intermission the girls’ Alla Capella sextette charmed the audience with a group of songs. The ensemble of the group was excel- lent, as was their diction and expression. Each girl displayed a pleas- ant personality. Much praise should be given the girls and the thorough training given them by Miss Cochrane. Donald Wade gave two xylophone selections, accompanied by Mary Temple, which were enjoyed by the audience. THE CAST Don Cubeb De Cigarro oe Ona dabale Donna Isabella, his wife _..

(Eighty-one) (Lighty-two) THE ECHO GIRLS’ CHORUS THE ECHO R CHULZE SRHS ART OEPT. (Bighty-three) THE ECHO (Eighty-four) DEPARTMENT AGRICULTURE THE ECHO JUDGING The last three years have shown an increasing interest of the Aggies in all kinds of judging. They have had teams in stock, poul- try, and fruit judging, and lately a team in orchard judging has been formed. Gratifying results have marked their efforts, which were extended to every contest where they were eligible. Stock judging has been in practice in this high school since 1918 only. The local team was further handicapped by the lack of suitable animals upon which to practice. Despite the advantage of other schools where the Agricultural department was older and well established, the Santa Rosa stock judging team steadily worked its way to the top. Last Fall, the team, composed of William Braun, Donald Weather- ington, Wesley Jamison, and alternate Frank Vought, won first place over fifty-two other schools from all parts of the state. Next, the team judged at Portland, competing with teams from all the Western states. Here they won by a large margin, making them Western States champions. Their final effort was at the Chicago International Livestock Expo- sition, where they lost the National championship by only seven points out of a possible eighteen hundred. In view of the fact that the glory of a state championship goes to the Student Body itself, the Santa Rosa High School student body, in its appreciation of its first championship team, presented each mem- ber with an “S.” These four members of the department are not eligible for inter- scholastic competition in the future, but early this Spring a very satisfactory group appeared for practice preliminary to the 1924 season. However, owing to the epidemic of the foot and mouth dis- ease, in this state, all judging has been indefinitely postponed, so the Aggies will have to be content with waiting until next year. Pim AG TROPHIES (Eighty-five) WVAL ONIOGOAL MOOLS (Eighty-six) THE ECHO THE AGGIES HORTICULTURAL SHOW The Horticultural show, held Saturday, October 13, last fall, in the old Mailer building, is one of the achievements of the Agricultural Department that has helped it to get the name of the department that accomplishes things in the school. This show was the second annual display of horticultural products exhibited by the Aggies. In an en- deavor to show what they had grown and what others had produced in this county, the Aggies arranged an attractive display of Sonoma County’s famous fruits and other horticultural products. Nearly every room in the building was required to exhibit the many varieties of fruits, flowers and vegetables. The usually unattractive stairway was converted into a far more presentable entrance by the use of rustic corn stalks and golden hued grape leaves over a back- ground of moss. The interior of the hall was made attractive in much the same manner. Room 81 was left to the girls’ Landscape Gardening class. In addition to a very pretty exhibit of flowers, a miniature farm was displayed, complete from haystack to silo. The girls also served fresh apple cider, which added much to the enjoy- ment of the many guests. A section of room 86 was devoted to the members of the Junior High Agriculture class, which they appropri- ately decorated. The other rooms were used in the display of some of the finest fruits and vegetables in this section. The apple exhibit nearly filled a room and consisted of 65 plates of 81 varieties, while there were twenty plates of pears of 7 varieties. The exhibit, in addi- tion to the fruit, had several varieties of walnuts, chestnuts and al- monds, as well as some fresh prunes, some dried prunes, and some dehydrated. The Farm Bureau had a neat exhibit, showing the ad- vantages of tree wires to prevent limb breakage. The apple judging contest was one of the most interesting features of the show. Among the six adjacent grammar schools, an apple identification contest was held. The Todd district school won, with the Junior High second. The name of the highest individual of the contest was Harriet Barnett, of Todd district. In the High School apple judging contest, the Santa Rosa team was first, with Analy second. Other High Schools that entered teams were Petaluma, Lake- port, Napa and Geyserville. In the individual contests Donald Cord- ray of Santa Rosa was first, with Donald Weatherington of Santa Rosa second. The Santa Rosa team later gave the banner to the second team in the contest, due to the fact that Analy was the highest visiting team. The banquet that evening was a fitting conclusion to the Aggies’ gala day. Short talks were given by Miss Patchett, Mrs. Hatch, Mr. Becklund, Mr. Pressley, Mrs. Gibbons, and the following members of the Agriculture classes: W. Jamison, D. Dale, L. Whitney and Edna King. The prizes were awarded for the judging contests, and refresh- ments were served. Two hundred and fifty parents and friends en- joyed the banquet, while a much larger number viewed the exhibit. The department intends to hold a larger and better and more enter- laining show next fall. With two successful shows to their credit, it appears that the exhibit next fall will even surpass the show held last fall. (Eighty-seven) THE ECHO THE PRUNE WHIP Another activity of the Aggies is the edition of their bi-monthly paper entitled “The Prune Whip.” Under the present system, the Prune Whip is edited by the classes in Farm English, with the assist- ance of any other student of the Agriculture department who wishes to volunteer material. The two English classes, Freshman and Sophomore, alternate in editing the paper. While the paper is edited chiefly for the pleasure of the Aggies, the scope of the paper is much wider. The students outside of the Agriculture Department are often seen enjoying the jokes or more serious parts of the “Aggies Bible.” At a recent meeting of Agriculture Supervisors in Colorado, the Prune Whip was passed to members of the audience to illustrate what Agriculture classes in high schools were doing. That the Prune Whip should be used as an example, showing what other Agriculture Departments were doing, is but another proof of how the Agriculture Department of this high school ranks. In addition, several clippings from the Prune Whip have been re-printed in the Agricultural News Letter, a publication of state-wide influence. Twenty-eight other schools and twelve individuals are on our mailing list. All articles are written by members of the Agriculture department. The teachers of Farm English act as censors and critics. Students who devote a part of their time to Prune Whip work broaden them- selves in two ways. In the first place, they help to make a paper that is enjoyed by all of the members of the department, and so help to build up school spirit. In the second place they develop their own literary ability in a much more practical method than by writing ordinary essays. Donald Cordray. (Eighty-eight) THE ECHO eee 7 7M ] | if !

As San Rafael had beaten us last’ year, thereby killing our chances for the league honors, we were naturally “out for blood” in the game. And the boys surely brought home the bacon. San Rafael kicked off, Nordwick receiving and running to the 60 yard line. From then on the ball was worked up and down the field, neither team being able to gain any material advantage. The quarter ended with Santa Rosa in possession of the ball on the San Rafael 30 yard line. In the second quarter Santa Rosa lost the ball on downs and San Rafael punted. Gayle ran the ball back 20 yards. Ward tried a drop kick, which failed, and San Rafael recovered the ball. San Rafael tried several forward passes, all of which were broken up by the fine defense of the Santa Rosa backs. Santa Rosa got the ball on downs, and on the second down Feliz took the ball over tackle for a beautiful run through the San Rafael backs 29 yards for a touch- down. Santa Rosa failed to convert. The half ended a few minutes later with Santa Rosa in the lead 6-0. In the last half neither team scored. The ball was in the middle of the field all of the third quarter, and only once in the fourth quar- ter did San Rafael threaten to score. Some long end runs took the ball to the Santa Rosa 15 yard line. However, Simpson recovered a fumble and Von Tillow punted out of danger. The game ended 6-0 in favor of Santa Rosa. The lineup of our first league game was as follows: Ratcliffe—End. Everett—Tackle M. Devoto—Guard Von Tillow—Center Bean—Guard Nordwick—Tackle McGuire—End Feliz—Fullback Panick—Halfback Johnson—Halfback Richardson—Quarterback The subs of the game were Davis, R. Devoto, Simpson and Toney. PETALUMA 15—SANTA ROSA 7 On October 27, Petaluma came to our gridiron and defeated Santa Rosa in a hard fought game, 15-7. Santa Rosa’s backfield was badly crippled on account of injuries, which accounted for the defeat. The game from the start was a good, hard scrap. In the first quarter neither team could score. Both teams exchanged punts on several occasions. On account of Von Tillow’s beautiful foot work, Petaluma soon stopped this kind of play as Ward was outclassing the Petaluma punter. In the second quarter Petaluma had the edge on the home team. By hard line plunges she worked the ball to the Santa Rosa 3 yard line, but lost it on downs. Ward dropped back to punt, stand- ing between two machines, 10 yards behind the goal line, The ball was snapped low, and the delay getting the ball caused a Petaluma tackle to sift through and block Ward’s punt. However, Ward recovered, (Ninety-one) THE ECHO are ™PEARCY LOSES To TALBoT ONLY BY A MICROBES HaiR.= =THE 8098 ARGUE AS TO WHO 1S THE SMALLEST MAN ON THE SQUA “TINYEVERETT CLAIMS HE IS = HELLO,TOM M GUIRE LETS GOTO THE DANCE TO-NIGHT ? ap A I MoNK RICHARDSON AFTER THE FOOTBALL GAME.= YoU SANTA ROSABOYS SURE KEEP Me BUSY!

In the third quarter the locals kicked off. Petaluma, by some good pass work by Farquar and Young, took the ball to our 5 yard line when Young bucked it over for their second score, 9-0. Again Petaluma received and again it was worked to our goal when the quarter ended. In the third quarter the locals gained the ball on downs, and Von Til- low punted it to our 41 yard line. However, Petaluma made first down twice and then bucked it over again, at the first minute of the last quarter, 15-0. Then Santa Rosa opened up with some real foot- ball. Pass after pass, from Richardson to Johnson, was worked until the ball was on the 10 yard line. Then, another pass to Johnson, and Gayle ran over for our only tally. Johnson converted. The game ended a few minutes later, 15-7 in favor of Petaluma. Petaluma had a much heavier team than Santa Rosa, which ac- counted for their ability te make so many gains through our line. However, the local boys certainly played a good game from the start, and Gayle, by his good passing game was easily the star of the contest. SANTA ROSA 66—ANALY 0 On Saturday, November 3, we slaughtered Analy ina 66-0 game. The outcome was never in doubt. After eight minutes of play Santa Rosa had 13 points, adding 6 more just as the first quarter ended. In the second quarter, a touchdown was made in four minutes. The score from then on began to grow so fast that nearly everybody was asking everybody else what the score was. At the end of the half the score was 34-0. All these touchdowns were made by fine center bucks by Everett, and some pretty end runs by Captain Johnson. In the third quarter, a crisscross pass, Richardson to Noonan, was completed, and Eddie ran 30 yards through a broken field for another score. In the last quarter, Richardson, on a beautiful delayed play, ran half the length of the field for still another touchdown. Gayle made several touchdowns on end runs and was the recipient of many flat passes from Monk, which always worked for yards. At only one time did Analy threaten to score. This was in the last quarter when an Analy half intercepted a pass and ran to our 5 yard line, where he was downed in a pretty tackle by Richardson. They had three plays, which were unsuccessful, and were lining up for the fourth when the final whistle blew. This victory put Santa Rosa in line for a scrap with Napa, which would mean the league, win or lose, as Napa promised to drop out if Santa Rosa should win over her. SANTA ROSA 13—NAPA 0 The Napa game was played at Napa Monday, Nov. 12. If we lost this game we had to drop out of the league, but if we won, we had only to beat Petaluma to take league honors, consequently this was the big game of the season. The game was a scrap from start to finish. In the first half the ball worked back and forth on the field and no score was made. Once Santa Rosa was on the Napa 1 yard line, but lost the ball on a fumble. Napa recovered, and punted out of danger.

Bane” Meenes (ise (Ninety-four) THE ECHO In the second half Santa Rosa started with a bang. We received and by straight line plays and some beautiful passes to Eddie Noonan the team worked straight down the field to the 7 vard line. Then a criss-cross pass, Richardson to Noonan, was completed, and Eddie trotted over the line for the first touchdown. Gayle converted. Before the quarter was over, we scored again. From the 40 yard line Monk ran the ball to the Napa 10 yard line on a quarter back sneak. Two bucks by Everett took the ball to the 1 yard line where Monk, on another sneak, took it over. In the third quarter Napa tried desperately to make a score by playing an aerial game. Time after time they tried passes which were either smeared by our tackles, De- voto and Simpson, or broken up by the back field. Out of at least a dozen tries only one pass was completed, and this only for a few yards. The game ended with the ball in the middle of the field. and Santa Rosa the victor 13-0. It was really not until this game that Santa Rosa struck her stride in football; and, as Napa is the next best team in the league, not hav- ing been beaten in two years, we were just in time. Eddie Noonan, by his wonderful display of hooking some high passes, was the star of the game. Lyle, our best bucker, was always good for 5 yards when ‘alled upon. Gayle ran back punts in A1 style, and Monk directed the team in fine shape. Although Von Tillow was continually rushed, his punts were beautiful. This victory put us in line for another game with Petaluma for the decision of the league championship. ; HAYWARDS 6—SANTA ROSA 7 As it was necessary for Santa Rosa to play Petaluma only two days before meeting Ukiah on the 17th, it was decided to have the officials decide who should be the league champs. The decision was made in favor of Santa Rosa. Later word was received that Ukiah had forfeited, so Coach Kirksey got a game with Haywards High for Friday, the 16th, on the home field. As this was only a practice game, Coach Kirksey started the second team against Hayward. Santa Rosa kicked off, and as Hayward was unable to make yards, they punted. Miller ran the ball back ten yards, and from the 30-yard line the second team slowly took the ball to the Hayward 20-yard line, when the quarter ended. In the middle of the second quarter the first team was put in. As the first string boys were cold, the Hayward team naturally had a big advantage, and in three plays put a touchdown over on Santa Rosa, but failed to convert. Twice, after this, in the second quarter, Santa Rosa worked the ball to the Hayward goal line, but lost it both times, once on downs and once on a fumble. The half ended with Hayward in the lead 6-0. As in the Napa game, Santa Rosa opened up with some real football in the 3rd quarter. In five minutes, the ball was worked to the Hay- ward 3-yard line, when Fred Feliz, our old star, who had been out on account of injuries, took the ball over. Gayle converted. The last quarter of the game was certainly a joke. The Hayward men got to quarreling among themselves and flew to pieces. However, the home team was unable to score again, and the game ended 7-6 in favor of Santa Rosa. ; As this was only a practic game, no importance is attached to it. However, the boys played a fine game, and surely deserved to win. (Ninety-five) THE ECHO CONCORD 0—SANTA ROSA 17 On Saturday, November 24, we played Concord for the decision of the North Bay Section Championship. Concord had the reputation of being a fast team, and the game promised to be good. In the first half the contest proved to be a good, hard, even scrap. Santa Rosa was limited to but two touchdowns. In the second half, however, the Concord aggregation absolutely, positively and without the slightest bit of doubt, “blew up.” In the third quarter the boys of the black jerseys put over two touchdowns, the first one 59 seconds after the opening whistle. A quarterback sneak by Richardson, and a com- pleted pass, Richardson to Noonan, accomplished this trick. In the last quarter, Coach Kirksey put in the second team. The scrubs made three touchdowns on Concord, two of them by Barbier, who was easily the star of the last quarter. One of these scores was made after a beautiful run through the Concord team behind perfect inter- ference for sixty-five yards. The game ended with Santa Rosa in the lead 47-0. This victory put us in line for a game with Berkeley Hi of Berkeley. We had played Berkeley three times in the last four years, each time giving the bay city boys more and more competition, and the next Saturday was to decide as to whether we would keep up the good work. BERKELEY 37—SANTA ROSA 0 On December 1 we played Berkeley Hi for the North State Cham- pionship. The home team put up a gallant fight, but we were out- weighed, and really outclassed, and consequently lost the game. In the opening quarters, Santa Rosa held the red and gold players to a very low score, but, as the Berkeley coach kept putting in fresh subs, the grind began to tell, and in the second half Berkeley piled up three touchdowns on the orange and black. We really played more than three teams that afternoon, as Berkeley made 31 substitutions during the game, while Santa Rosa used but five second string men. Lyle Everett was easily the star of the game. Several times he ploughed for ten yards with nearly all the Berkeley line on his back. The defensive playing of F. Feliz in the backfield and M. Devoto in the line was excellent. This game ended the football season of 1923 HOLE pS Lit lal Se Following is a summary of games played: DATE TEAM PLACE PLAYED SCORE Sept. 29 Lowell (practice) Santa Rosa Lowell 0- Oct. } San Rafael Santa Rosa..San Rafael 0- = Vallejo 0- 6- Petaluma 15-97 Analy Analy 0- 66 DET OF oe ce Se miata tre Napa Napa 0- 13 Hayward (practice) -......

In the first place, Don Moore could not play after the Lowell game on account of his pink slip. Then, in the second week of the season, we lost our best line-bucker when Fred Feliz broke his ankle in a scrimmage with the Junior College. When this is taken into consideration, it can be readily seen that S. R. H. S. had in Morris Kirksey a football coach who can overcome overwhelming drawbacks and come out at last with a championship team. For this reason alone, Mr. Kirksey deserves everlasting admiration of the school at large, particularly of those who understand football and can see what he did for the team. Gayle Johnson was a captain to be proud of.. He was the life of the team; never grumbling, never “sore,” always in the right place at the right time, always with a word of cheer to the boys of the squad and a cheerful slap on the back to anybody in a tight place, and, by his actions on the gridiron, setting an example that the team to a man strove to follow. These qualities in the captain of the team went a long way to account for the successful outcome of many a game that seemed very doubtful in the opening quarters. (Ninety-seven) THE ECHO (Ninety-eight) THE ECHO we lost the Petaluma encounter, Gayle’s passing game will long be remembered by those who saw the contest. On Tuesday night, December 11, the business men of Santa Rosa gave the football team and the stock-judging team a banquet at the Occidental Hotel in appreciation of their good work during the season. Mr. Jerome Cross was toastmaster, and Mr. Finlaw Geary, Mr. Bennyhoff, Mr. Wallace Ware, Senator Slater, Mr. Everett, Mr. Kirksey and Captain Gayle Johnson all gave admirable talks to the football players and stock-judgers at the banquet. An election was held during the banquet, and Lyle Everett was elected captain of the 1924 Football team. Lyle gave a short speech, thanking the members of the squad. Gold footballs were awarded to Coach, Manager and fourteen players. On Tuesday night, December 18, the Girls’ League gave the mem- bers of the team a banquet. Besides the members of the team, Mr. Cross, Mr. Barker, Mr. Bennyhoff, Mr. Finlaw Geary and Mr. Kirksey were present at the banquet. Mary Bonar, Elaine Badger, Zita Wilie, Mary Stroven, Henrietta Hahman, Marda Leppo and Mildred Patton waited on the boys, and they voted the girls a fine “crew of hash slingers.” Clark Davis.

Ant Dept THOMPSON ° | Wi ee —— | i (One hundred and two) THE ECHO BASKETBALL Basket ball started about a week before the Christmas holidays. The late start was due to the fact that our football team progressed so far in the league. The first game was played with San Rafael, after only a week’s practice. SAN RAFAEL 8—S. R. H. S. 10 The game started with Grace and Johnas forwards, H. Noonan cen- ter, and Johnson and Hinds guards. In the first few seconds of the game San Rafael scored two points. No more scoring was done by San Rafael the first quarter. Santa Rosa scored one point. At the beginning of the second quarter a new team took the floor. The half ended three to three. At the beginning of the second half, the first team again took the floor. The last half was much faster than the first. The real excite- ment came, however, in the last quarter, with only one minute to play. The score was eight to eight. Then, suddenly, Jonas, our fighting for- ward, got possession of the ball and shot a wonderful basket, winning the game for us. 130 POUND CLASS The 130 Ib. game with San Rafael was very fast and exciting all through the game, and it was seen from the first that Santa Rosa had the edge on them. They walked away from San Rafael with a score of 13 to 5. Dakin, Clapp, Miller, Bacigalupi and Noonan represented the 30’s in their first game. TOMALES 4—S. R. H. S. 44 In the Tomales game, every member of the team was a fighting fool, and it seemed that they could not miss a basket even if they did have to play in the dark. They were dropping them in from all angles of the court. In fact they were dropped in so often, that near the end of the game the referee hadn’t hardly enough wind left to blow the whistle. Not only was the offensive playing of the team good, but the defensive playing was perfect. Tomales made only 4 points. The final score ended 44 to 4 in favor of Santa Rosa. —130 lb. CLASS— The 130 lb. game with Tomales, like the unlimited game, was one- sided. Our boys were dropping them in from all angles of the court, and they won an easy victory. The final score was 11 to 28 in favor of S. R. H. ANALY 27—S. R. H. 5. 9 Every one knows about the strong rivalry that exists between Analy and Santa Rosa High.

Although Analy, hay- ing more practice, and having a more smoothly running team than ours, piled up point after point against us, we sure owe the team a lot of credit for the way they went into the fight. The game ended 27-9 in favor of Analy. 130 POUND CLASS In the light-weight division, the game with Analy was much faster and more exciting than the unlimited game. Thrill after thrill was given the fans, for, first one team, then the other would be ahead. Analy finally won out in the last quarter, and won by a score of 20-16. Miller and Vest were the stars of the game for Santa Rosa. PETALUMA 30— —S. R. H. S. 16 The 130 Ib. game with Petaluma was a fast and thrilling game all the way through, every member of the team played good basketball, and the guarding done by our guard, Miller, will never be forgotten. ‘Their fighting spirit and fast playing could not be equaled by Petaluma, and final score was 30 to 16, The 130 Ib. team certainly did have an unlucky season; although they were beaten twice, they had the best team in the league. hey were playing against luck, and anyone who has ever played basektball at all knows that to play against luck is impossible. They certainly were a fine lot of fighters, and for good sportsmanship they could not be equaled by any team in the league. The players that represented the thirties were: Forwards—Walter Dakin, Ed Vest, Nick DeMeo, Mark Noonan. Guards—Gerald Miller, Albert Clapp, Jack Grace, Dick Johnson. Centers— Nate Bacigalupi, Merlyn Whitney. PETALUMA 18—S. R. H. S. I] The game with Petaluma was the last game of the season; it was a fast game that held the interest of the spectators from start to finish. The score was close until the last quarter, when Petaluma put in fresh men and forged ahead, winning the game by 6 points. The team fought hard, but they could not find the basket. The game ended 18 to 11 in favor of Petaluma. Although the team lost half of the games played, they deserve a lot of credit for the way they got in and fought in every game. They did not know the meaning of the word quit. The players that represented S. R. H. S. in the league were: Forwards—Jack Jonas, George Jarboe, Carleton Rank, Jim Grace. Guards— Ben Hinds, Gayle Johnson, Charles DeMeo, Mellie Devoto. Centers— Sheldon Meeker, Harry Noonan, Ward Von Tillow. NAPA 24—S. R. H. 8. 17 The fellows in the game with Napa got a poor start, and at the end of the first quarter, Napa had run up a large score against us. The first half ended 17 to 8 in Napa’s favor. (One hundred and five) THE ECHO (One hundred and six) THE ECHO The team came back onto the court at the beginning of the second half with a determination to show Napa that they could and would play basketball. In the second half the team had that old fighting spirit that has made the teams representing Santa Rosa High famous through- out the State. In the second half our team not only made more points than Napa. but they outplayed Napa in every way. The score run up against us in the first half was too large to overcome, and Napa won out with a score of 24-17. 130 POUND TEAM The 130 pound team game with Napa, like the unlimited game, was fast and full of thrills, and the team played a wonderful brand of bas- ketball throughout the game. Throughout the game they played against hard luck, and were robbed out of basket after basket. Miller and Dakin were the outstanding figures for the locals. HEALDSBURG 16—S. R. H. S. 13 The defeat received by Analy was still fresh in the fellows’ minds, and they went into the court against Healdsburg with a determination to win. The game was fast and full of excitement from beginning to the end. It was seen from the first that it was either team’s game, up until the last part of the last quarter, when Healdsburg forged ahead and won the game by three points. H. Noonan was the star of the game for the locals. Jim Grace also was up to his old form. —130 lb. TEAM— The light weight teams’ game was also fast and exciting, our boys, although, had the edge on them and won an easy victory. The final score was 27 to 17. Cliff, our plucky guard, was the star of the game, making 8 of the points. SONOMA 15—S. R. H. S. 16 The whistle had not been blown announcing the beginning of the game with Sonoma more than thirty seconds, before every spectator Was sitting up and taking notice. The Sonoma game, by far, was the most interesting and hardest fought game of the season. Thrill after thrill was given the fans, for first one team and then the other would be ahead. It was not only a very fast and exciting game, but a wonderful brand of basketball was exhibited. Our team in this game played a better and faster game than they ever had before, and the defensive playing by Devoto, Rank and Von Tillow and the wonderfully good shooting by Grace, brought many applauses from the rooters. The thrill of the game came in the last quarter, with only a minute to play when Sonoma shot a basket, putting them in the lead by one point, and the score remained 15 to 14 until there was only 40 seconds in which to play. Rank received the ball from outside play, passed to Grace, who, by some miracle, jumped up into the air and shot a basket, with two (One hundred and seven) WVAL TIVEESVa tain as 7 Wit by co ay S Q THE L VE!) o0 i Vs (One hundred and eight) THE ECHO Sonoma fellows trying to give him the bear hug.

Sonoma fought hard, but she could not come up to our team. Every player on the team that night played good basketball and the smooth running team had no fréwble i in defeating Sonoma. The fianl score was 26 to 11 in favor of S. R. H. S. George Jarboe. BASEBALL PRELIMINARY GAMES Prior to the League games, the Santa Rosa High School Baseball Team had a preliminary season, consisting of five practice games. In two of these they were victorious and in another two they lost only by a single score. First, with scarcely any practice, the team was defeated by Analy by the scant margin of 7 to 6, and later Petaluma defeated us by an- other close contest, 5 to 4. In the second game with Analy they won by a larger score of 12 to 6. Then came two decisive victories over Junior College by the overwhelming scores of 15 to 5 and 13 to 0. The season opened with eae Dakin on the mound, but in the last Junior College game Ed Toney pitched the team to victory. SANTA ROSA 20—HEALDSBURG 8 On March 15, with two weeks of practice under Pete Maroni’s coach- ing, the baseball nine journeyed to Healdsburg for the first League game of the season. Playing away from home “seemed to make little difference, for they trounced Healdsburg all over the field, practically everyone making hits, and Dakin, DeMeo and McQueen succeeded in slamming out home runs. Dakin did the pitching for our team and was well backed up. By this time the team was fairly well organized and the lineup was as follows: Catcher—DeMeo C. Piteher—Dakin First Base—Grace, James Second Base—Jonas Third Base—Braun, W. Shortstop—McQueen Center Field—Maroni Right Field—C Pel Left Field—Toney Outfield Subs—Nordwick, McLaren, D., Miller, G. (One hundred and nine) THE ECHO (One hundred and ten) THE ECHO SAN RAFAEL 15—SANTA ROSA 5 Santa Rosa played San Rafael in the home town, the game being the first to be played on the new baseball diamond at the new High School grounds, The new field seemed a jinx for us as we were defeated by a score of 15 to 5. Santa Rosa started off with a bang, the end of the second we had a score of 4 to 2 piled up on San Rafael. Then things settled down, neither team doing much, but in the eighth San Rafael sent the ball to all parts of the field scoring the bulk of her points. On his first time up to bat, McQueen landed out a homer and set the record of having hit the first home run on the new field. The lineup was practically the same as before but with Ed Toney pitching the entire nine innings. SANTA ROSA 12—PETALUMA 9 We won our league game with Petaluma, the score at the end of the ninth inning ending 12 to 9 in our favor. It was played on the Chicken Town’s diamond and the Santa Rosa team started off with a bang, scoring five runs in the first inning. In the fourth, sixth and seventh innings five more runs were made, and in the ninth inning Jonas doubled, De Meo tripled and was sent in on a sacrifice, making the two final tallies. The fifth inning almost proved fatal for our team, as several infield errors were made and before the mischief could be stopped, Petaluma’s blue hitters had sent eight men around the bases. Ed Toney pitched a tight game and allowed but four hits and fanned no less than fourteen men. NAPA 7—SANTA ROSA 5 The locals journeyed to Napa and there met defeat, although good baseball was played by our team all through the game. The score at the end of the seventh inning was 4 to 3 in Santa Rosa’s favor, but in the first of the eighth Napa rallied and sent four men across the plate for a total of seven runs. Santa Rosa made its other run in the ninth. The game was by no means a dead one, for Grace knocked a long hard drive to right field for a home run and brought in Braun before him who was parked on first base. This was the only home run of the game. Jonas was the star hitter of the game, making three of the eight hits for our team out of his four times at bat. Both Toney and Dakin pitched, allowing between them but six hits. ANALY 15—SANTA ROSA 5 Our league game with Analy, like the practice ones, proved fatal, Analy winning with a decisive score. Their success was greatly due to Collins, their star southpaw pitcher, who is rated as one of the best high school pitchers in this part of the state. In addition to his pitch- ing he nearly turned out to be a home run king, as one of his long drives hit a fence and bounced back into the field. The trouble started when Santa Rosa slumped in the second inning, and before Dakin could tighten up six runs were netted by Analy. One of the features of the game was a nearly impossible catch made by Maroni in center field. (One hundred and eleven) THE ECHO SANTA ROSA 5—TOMALES | Once a year Tomales has received a drubbing from our baseball team and this year proved no exception, although three of our best players were absent from the lineup. Their places were taken by subs who proved themselves worthy. Walter Dakin was one of the missing so Ed Toney pitched the entire game and allowed seven hits in the game, but not altogether, so no harm was done. SANTA ROSA 9—SONOMA 3 The game with Sonoma was at last played, after having been post- poned several times. Our team was victorious in their closing game of the season and celebrated the occasion by hitting everything that came over the plate. Ed Toney again pitched and only two hits were made off of him.

The meet was held in the (One hundred and fifteen) THE ECHO morning and many heats were held which tired many of our athletes. McGuire, our fast 440 man, placed in the tryouts, but was taken sick and could not compete in the finals or other events. Ratcliffe broke a school record when he went over the bar in the high jump at 5 feet 10 inches. He also did well in the pole vault, clearing the bar at 11 feet and 3 inches. Pearcy ran a good race in the mile and placed second. His time of 4 minutes and 47 seconds was good. Hinds had an off day and only cleared the bar at 5 feet 9 inches, but did not place.

STATE MEET At the State Track Meet held at Taft, May 10, the local track team was unable to place. The school was represented by Captain Etsel Pearcy and Marion Ratcliffe, with Coach Kirksey. The team left here Thursday afternoon and arrived in time for the meet, which was held at 1:15 p. m. The afternoon was terribly hot, and due to the long trip, the team captured only one place. Captain Pearcy ran the mile in 4:38, taking fourth place in a large field of runners. In the pole-vault, Ratcliffe went 11 feet, but the winners cleared 12 feet or more. INTERCLASS MEET Seniors, 119. Juniors, 6314. Sophomores, 13... Freshmen, 17. The Annual Inter-class Track Meet, held the last of March, was a big event in school activities. The meet was directed by Coach Kirksey, who was assisted by graduated track men. The Seniors won the meet in fast style, taking most of the second and third places, with a few firsts. In several events they took all three places, a total of nine points. In the relay they made a hit, when their relay team composed of McGuire, Jarboe, Whitney and DeMeo won the event in fast time. This was one of the best races of the day on the oval. The Juniors took second in the meet, but had the honor of having their class man, Joe Dearing, high point man of the meet. Joe took four firsts and a third in the meet, making a score of twenty-one points. Hinds and Devoto also made many of the class points. In the lower classes, the Sophs were represented by Grace and Churchill. Mailer was the Freshies’ hero, making nearly all the class points. From the results of the meet Coach Kirksey was able to pick some of the track men for the coming track season. VOLLEY BALL TOURNAMENT The interclass volley ball tournament was held the first of the spring term on the High School Annex volley ball court with Miss Koford and Miss Turner acting as score keepers and judges. The Sophomore girls met the girls of the Freshman class in the first meet and defeated them two out of three games. The Sophs took the (One hundred and sixteen) THE ECHO first with ease, but let the second one slide. In the third game the Sophs came back strong and put the Freshies to rout. The next day the Juniors and Seniors clashed on the same field. The Juniors took both games in fast manner, winning their match. Nola Mead, Junior, played a wonderful game and was responsible for the Juniors’ large score. Owing to rainy weather, the finals were played off in the Annex Gym with a large crowd present from each class. With very good team work the Sophomore girls took the two games by safe scores. This ended the volley ball season and plans were soon begun for a track meet. TRACK MEET On April 29, the four classes of the school represented by the girls, held a dual meet on the local Annex oval. School was let out early, and a large crowd gathered for the event. Judges, timers and score keepers were appointed to help in the meet by Miss Turner. Again the Sophs showed their activity by taking the meet by 5,926, almost 500 points more than their nearest rivals, the Freshmen, who rolled up a score of 5,486. The Juniors took third, beating their rivals, the Seniors, by a score of 5,358 to 5,281. Some very fast records were made in the dashes, while the other events showed speed and accuracy in handling the ball. The High School girls again renewed girls’ athletic meets this year when a series of interclass meets was held. It has been a year or so since the girls have taken gym, and they have been unable to compete in any sort of sports. Under the direction of Miss Turner, several meets were arranged and carried off very well under her supervision. Only two events were held this year, but plans are under way for a more complete program of girls’ athletic meets this coming term in our new High School.

Edith MeGuire—San Francisco State Teachers’ College (One hundred and twenty-one) THE ECHO (One hundred and twenty-two) THE ECHO GOLF Golf was duly initiated into the sports of Santa Rosa High this year by a team composed of Warren Richardson, Donald Helgren and Jack Wright. Richardson, our best representative, rates with the best players at the Country Club. Jack Wright, who in the earlier part of the season was not playing golf so well, later came through and displayed a fine brand of golf. Donald Helgren plays a very steady game and helped the team in this way. In the first match Richardson and Helgren represented the Orange and Black against Polytechnical Hi of San Fi rancisco by a score of 4 up and 2 to play. This match was played at the $ Santa Rosa Golf and Country Club. In the return match at Linclon Park our team went down to defe@t by the same score as we had beaten them here. Richardson and Wright played in this match. On the 26th of April the members of the team took part in the first interscholastic meet held at the California Club in San Francisco, The fellows played a wonderful game of golf and were outclassed as they were playing against former ‘state champions and also were playing on a strange course. Matches have been scheduled for the latter part of the year with Sacred Heart School, which is the scholastic champion, and with Potter Hi, which rates very high around the Bay district. THE TENNIS TEAM Every dark cloud has its silver lining. Considering the burning of the old high school the dark cloud, then the new tennis courts would comprise the silver lining. With the aid of the two new courts on the old school site, tennis has taken a decided jump during the last term. Santa Rosa was represented more than favorably this term in tennis. Our team was composed of the two “sharks” of the school, Howard Richards and Albert eRe: ave se boys have played tennis a good many years, and this year have saped the harvest from their practising. Although they did not win the league title, they placed second, and only a little hard luck kept them from winning. Our team started out right from the start, winring from Healdsburg, Analy, San Rafael, Napa, Tomales, and Sonoma. “We lost but one tournament all season, to Petaluma, who possessed a first class aggre- gation. Then as a climax to the season, our team journeyed to Berkeley to play in the big C. I. F. tournament. We were eliminated in the doubles, but Richards, playing a fine brand of tennis, worked up into the semi-finals of play, but was defeated there by the crack Berkeley High player in the singles. Our boys have surely worked hard and have put all they had into their matches. They deserve a great deal of credit. Now that we have the facilities, you under-graduates get busy and practice, so that next year we will have a team that is every bit as good as it was this yea Ward von Tillow.
