OACH Orbin Fortier, finishing his eighth year as basketball, baseball and tennis mentor, has had a very out- standing record by winning a North Coast Championship in basketball. His baseball teams have consistently held a top position in this section as did his tennis teams which have been very outstanding. Coach Verne Hickey, coming to Santa Rosa five years ago, has made a very success- ful record by winning two N. B. L. Champ- ionships in football. His track teams were uniformly successful as were his golf teams, which have won practically every year. COACH Fnn'1'1l2R Coscl-1 HICKEY FOOTBALL Santa Rosa High School football team of 1932 will go down in the school history as one of the hardest fighting teams the school has ever sponsored.

The team placed second in the North Bay League, due to one defeat suf- fered at the hands of the Vallejo Apaches. The Vallejo game was a general shake- up to Santa Rosa, with lettermen on the injured list, the loss of Ernie Zappa, quarter- back, and the difficulty of playing them the second league game of the season. The red and white threatened not once, only to make their score on an intercepted pass. Notwithstanding this one loss, the orange and black had a very successful record, totaling 178 points to their opponents 6. Following is the schedule of games: Santa Rosa . . 12 Burlingame . .
