GoLD AND WHITE Basketball ASKETBALL is the core of our athletic pro- gram. We have a good coach. We have a good team. We have fine school spirit. What more could anyone ask? With these assets we can beat and have beaten worthy adversaries. Our team has gone far with the school behind it and has set a new goal for future years. We have met two strong teams, St. Vincent's and Miss Burke's, in exciting contests and emerged the victor. Our measure has been taken twice by a faster and cleverer team, but there is no shame in defeat. Our girls fought stub- bornly against overwhelming odds. The members of the Student Body take this op- portunity to express to the members of the School Team deep appreciation of their ceaseless efforts in the held of basketball. They realize, too, that it is to Mr. Burke's untiring efforts and whole-hearted interest at all times that most of the success of this MR. EDWARD BURKE year's sport seasonis due.

Goto AND WHITE 1g+m------- GRACE O'CONNOR FRANCES MILLS Rooting Section NDER the management of Grace O'Connor and Frances Mills, yell leaders, an eager and interested rooting section has been formed this year. The enthusiastic cheering of the girls during the various games has incited the school team to greater glory and in a measure has been an incentive for the many victories which it has achieved. Many lively new yells and songs were added to the already numerous collection and various members of the Student Body helped a great deal by making suggestions from time to time. At the first game of the season, St. Rose vs. St. Vincent's, Vallejo, Grace O'Connor and Frances Mills led the rooting section of one hundred, in songs and yells, but later in the term a special set of girls was selected and trained to perform diflicult stunts and sing other songs which added greatly to the interest of all those attending the games.
