'X Y 5 A 1 l E 5 l S The Raffle RAFFLE, sponsored by the Associated Students to obtain money for re- pairs on the tennis courts and the swimming tank, and to build new hand- ball alleys, was launched on September 30th. ln three weeks the com- mittee, composed of Larry Doyle, Edgar Hinkel and James McAllister, was able to announce that, owing to the splendid co-operation given by the High School and College departments, a sum almost double the original quota had been ob- tained. The goal had been live hundred dollars, but the final counting showed a total of eight hundred and thirty-two dollars. ' The prize of the raffle was a beautiful seventy-live dollar white gold watch and chain. On the day of the drawing over three thousand tickets were present in the raffle sack. The Fourth High took iirst honors in the inter-class ticket competition and thus earned a half-day vacation. V ' Frank Smith won iirst prize in the individual ticket contest. T he drawing was held in the Gymnasium on October llth. After numerous changes of containers and niuch shuffling of contents, the Goddess of Luck de- cided that Harry Bertain of the Fourth High had won the gold watch and chain. When all expenses had been paid and all prizes distributed, a net sum of seven hundred and thirty-eight dollars remained. With this money a new asphalt surface was put on the two tennis courts, the swimming tank was re- opened, and four news handball courts were built. The Trip to U. S. C. Wlfhey out-yelled the whole U. S. C. rooting sectionf, Such was the opinion of spectators at the Saint lVIary's-U. S. C. game in Los Angeles on Saturday after- noon, November 3'. Some went by boat, others took the train, a few started out on foot, and only a last minute incident kept an aeroplane from carrying some brave and loyal supporters, but the majority trusted themselves to auto? mobiles. V S High School students, college men, members of the law school, alumni, and professors, in one way or another, managed to get there. Some of the rooters ar- rived in Los Angeles in record time, others 1'eached the Coliseum just as the starting whistle blew. But whether they had come as aristocrats on boat or train, as dare-devils by auto, or as highway hold-up men on foot, it was a single unit of concentrated loyalty and spirit that formed the rooting section in 'the big bowl. The Trojans soon learned what uGo Get 'em Saints means. Un the way home the rain fell in torrents, the wind blew in chilly blasts, and the roads were wet and slippery, but these things, and numerous other items of discomfort vanished quickly when the realization of the 14 10 victory flashed into mind It was a tlred, but a happy group that finally reached the College after a trip that refuses to be forgotten 5 i ' : . r .

Freshman Day N ACCORDANCE with the established tradition, the Sophomores took upon themselves the pleasure of oiiicially introducing the F1'6Sl11T1a11 Class to Saint Mary's. Mindful of the large number of Frosh this year, the Sophomores wisely presented an unusually strenuous program. The Freshmen, however, started off their college careers with a feather in their cap by scoring wins in the majority 'of the events. Outnumbered two to one the Sophs had to be content with victory in only a few events. The F rosh began in the proper manner by winning the decision in the relay. But the Sophs retaliated with a victory in fthe horse-back riding contest, and a moment later wiggled their way to a win in the snake race. The shoe event proved the Freshmen awake in all respects. A fiock of footballs were then tossed out on the field. After a ,strenuous struggle the Freshmen were awarded the palm for having kept the footballs longest in their possession. Next, the students with long noses got busy rolling potatoes along the ground. Having learned in a year at college uto follow their nosesf, the Sophs won an overwhelming victory. Forty horses and riders then rode forth, but inexperi- enced driving cost the Frosh the decision. Things were about even at this time and the major event of the day was at hand. Their mighty spirits touched to the quick, the enraged Freshmen proceeded to pull their less numerous oppon- ents all over the campus. It was this event that necessitated a postponement in the date set for the Welcoine D-ance. With this victory in uThe Knock 'em down, Keep 'em down, and Tie 'em up affair, the Frosh, despite their bashfulness and tender years, paraded with high heads but weak legs to the locker rooms. A big gathering turned out to view the festivities, and on numerous occasio11s throughout the afternoon had a-mple opportunity to show their presence. Master of Ceremonies Hugh Grant began the program with a few choice words on the events of the day, and was followed by Graduate Manager Louis LeFevre, Coach Madigan, and President of the Student Body, Dave Wynne, all of whom inter- mixed valuable collegiate advice with plenty of college humor, JUST A LITTLE Acr1oN -.4 ---.-. --i.-... n--q- ........ .- I --... 2 . -':.: E 5 4 . , , .1 ' J il v r gnribi QL fffiflo rl nm . .Q 1' f kiln 4 1 I aj-LQ lin 73' J, f.'QxXK5?,Xx r f--- il,-. o r 5 ,.

' ' f , lj -- - - P fa The A. P. G. U. Football Banquet I-IE A, P. G, U. Society, faithful to its tradition of past years, tendered a banquet to the Varsity Football team at the Hotel Oakland on the after- noon of November 26, the day previous to the Big Game with Santa Clara. More than aihundred College men, besides pr0II1i11611t Speakers- alumm' and members of the Faculty were in attendance. A great deal Of enthuslasm was manifested by the students, and the speakers, imbued with this same spirit, ex- pressed their sentiments in forceful words. o To begin the program Toastmaster lVIarciniak introduced the President of the College. Brother Gregory congratulated the lA. P. G. U. Society on its splen- did work and praised the students for displaying such loyal co-operation. MMay the best team win, said Father O'Connell, admitting himself to be a 'ffriendl enemy in campfi ludge iBrown, representing the City of Oakland, was then called upon for a few words. None of his auditors will ever forget his stirring words on uThe Will to iWin. Wfilliam Hynes, Bert Shine, and Dan Doran, speaking for the former students of Saint Maryis, assured the team and the rooters that the support of the Mold timersw would be as inspiring as it always has been in the past. Captain called Strader was cheered to the echo. uFellows, he said, awe 'have the team, the coach, and the support--how can we lose? Coach uSlip Madigan, in his habitual impressive manner, thanked the stu- dents and the players on his team for their splendid loyalty during the entire season, and predicted victory if this same support was given during the game. The attendance at the banquet was the largest si11ce the A. P. G. U. Society first sponsored the affair four years ago. The committee in charge executed to perfection every detail in the arrangement. Sophomore Dance It took two weeks for the Frosh and Soph battlers to get back into dancing shape, but as promised, the Freshman Welcome Dance was worth the waiting. The Sophs acted as hosts to the largest gathering that has ever attended 3 Class dance at Saint lVIary's. With the Gym cleverly decorated, and the music extra- ordinarily good, the affair was most enjoyable, C. Carroll, B. Halligan, C. Packer, O. Murray, T. Farrell and B. Keegan had charge of all festivities, and by their splendid arrangements madg even the haughty Freshmen fstill mindful of their vi that it was usome jig. ctory in the Annual Brawlj admit SQ V ex 'f....--..gf.ffff1fiff'T'i 'QT zE'A'ff't' .-im-:L-.-JTPIJ-sg lege ai - -W ee-me -e - e,,,, .. ,Mn .rx . wr 1 -P - 1, ,, ,G - - X-1' E1,PhilBgawdmigdwwmvsnnnnibbd 'P - P W' f' e F'P 1i5r E25 --f-54255. .fn iii t rlrk Tlx wi? fjff'
