'HIS year Track has enjoyed one of the most successful seasons it has had in many years at Santa Rosa Hi. Veteran material, with a good turnout of prom- ising new candidates helped give our track its best campaign in many seasons. Teaming up with Analy, to start the season, a dual meet against the Berkeley Yellow jackets resulted in a hotly contested event in which Berkeley won by virtue of a winning relay team. The Orange and Black Team journeyed to the East Bay Region the following Saturday to engage the Piedmont Highlanders. Santa Rosa dropped this meet to their opponents in a driving rainstorm 33-66. Reversing the decision of last year, the Panthers defeated their ancient rival, Analy, in the annual dual meet. In this keenly contested meet, the Panthers nosed out a victory when Gambogi staved off Blank's drive in the final lap of the relay, 582-54k the final score. In the next two events, Santa Rosa broke even, winning from Lowell High, 72-52, on the local track, but losing a close meet to Tamalapis. The high light of the latter was the 11 foot, 7 inch vault of Talbot. The North Bay League meet at Vallejo witnessed one of the best affairs of the season. Talbot distinguished himself by receiving a gold medal emblematic of his attaining first place in the pole vault, breaking the League record with a winning leap of 11 feet, 6 inches. Qualifying eighteen men in league trials and winning C Class was the last performance of the local tracksters before the final event of the season. Analy won the trials by five points, with Santa Rosa second and Petaluma third, and Sonoma bringing up the rear in the A Class. 7,RAcK TEAM ' l L Ae- 19' itiifi . , !,q 2 g I - P I.

GOLF Santa Rosa High School golfers enjoyed a successful season by winning the North Bay League golf championship for the third consecutive year. In this sport the team again demonstrated its position to be among the leading lights of high school golfers. The members were superior in form to any team in the league and were wholeheartedly behind their coach and achieved commendable mention for their sportsmanship. Considerable interest has been increasing steadily, due chiefly to the influence of Coach Hickey, and to the last three yaers of constant winnings. The championship play-off climaxed one of the most hotly disputed contests on golf records in the Northern Division. The completion of the regular season's games found Santa Rosa undisputed winner in this division. The Panther golf team was composed of Bonfigli, Buzzini, Hughes, Bogondoff, and Brown. TENNIS The Santa Rosa High Schoo1's tennis team under the direction of Coach O. W. Fortier has to date turned in very distinguished record. At the time this book goes to press, the Panther netmen have just completed winning their third straight tournament by defeating Healdsburg on the Santa Rosa court. Considerable credit is due to Stewart House, defending North Coast Champion, who has been the mainstay of the Panther netmen for the past four years. He has won the singles championship of the North Bay League for six seasons out of a possible eight. He has also won the North Coast Championship for the last two years. His graduation this year will be a severe blow to Santa Rosa tennis superiority. Members of the tennis team for the fall semester were House, first singlesg Noriel, second singles, and Healey and McCann, doubles. The spring team was composed of House, first singles, and Reents, second singles, with the doubles composed of Noriel and McCann. SWIMMING Swimming season for Santa Rosa started on May the eighth with nearly thirty boys out for the squad. Coach Rhodes Trussell had but few veteran swimmers of last year's squad, with Eddie Green and Al Thurlow being the best performers of the holdovers. Green won the diving championship last year and has a fine chance of repeating, while Thurlow should make points in the races. This year the competition will be between Santa Rosa, Tamalpais and San Rafael, with the Tamalpais boys as favorites to repeat their victory of the last few years. Tamalpais is especially favored as that school has a swimming pool of its own, whereas, all other schools must wait until the city swimming tanks are open. In the Class B division, Santa Rosa has some good material in O'Hair, Noonan, and Mahan, with possible good swimmers yet to be uncovered as practice progresses. A strange coincidence in regard to the Orange and Black mermen is that, in seven out of the last eight years, Santa Rosa's divers have won the diving title of the North Bay League.
