28 THE WEATHER VANE ball, baseball or basketball, is a school quite out of proportion to Westfield High in regard to the number of students. But last fall the tennis team started late in the season, and only as an experiment, defeated Plainfield and Battin decisively. Pat us on the back. Then watch us win next time. And now the High School has made tennis a major sport, an action fully deserved by its progress and success in the past. Junior tennis is booming all over the country. About fifteen colleges have made it a major sport. Junior tournaments are becoming more frequent. Teams are being formed in every large high school or prep school in the country. The new club house in Chestnut street has proved most attractive. Everyone who has danced there knows the way, and who hasn't been to the Tennis Club’s activities? Get over there for some match and make tennis as popular as the other sports. The team lias been practicing hard and is showing results. Watch MacCowatt pull off a slice-drive or stand them on end with his elusive chops. Come over and encourage the team by a little attendance. The squad has been seasoned by tournament experience and as only one graduates this year, next year's team ouglv to be even better. The fellows who comprise the squad are : MacCowatt. captain; Dietz, manager; G. Spencer, W. Spencer, H. Schaefer, J. DeVcau, H. Baker.

The schedule given above is sufficient to show what the Westfield High School Tennis Team is up against, and also what opportunities there is for it to demonstrate its ability. Blair, Battin, Horace Mann, East Orange—all these schools are much larger than ours. Victory will be an honor, defeat not disgraceful. Plainfield, perhaps the least formidible of our opponents, whom we have not beaten for quite some time, in foot-
