Let us hope for school support and plenty of it next year, to shout our team on to victory. ROBERT McHENRY. McKINLEY WINS SCHOOL MEET. The first field day of the interme- diate high schools of Berkeley was held May 18th on the new Univer- sity oval. Teams from McKinley, Washington, Whittier and Franklin schools participated in the field events which were under the direction of Mr. Seawright, physical diector. McKinley took first place with 61 points, Washington second with 37 points, Whittier third with 30 points, and Franklin fourth with 11 points. The work of Jack Melville was es- pecially noteworthy. He won the 50- yard dash, the 100-yard dash and reached the world ' s record for gram- mar schools in winning the 100-yard dash in 10:02 seconds. T. Matthews, Wescott Porter, George Bliss, P. McDonald, L. Daugherty, W. Glass and Harold Gassaway won firsf places and deserve commendation. In- deed we have reason to feel proud of all our boys who permitted our school to be crowned with laurel. Yes, and that was one of the marked results of excellent school support! Our band was there under the leadership of Mice Ellerhorst and played us on to victory; a rooting section kept things lively and yelled us on to victory. Following were the events: Fifty Yard Dash, (80 lbs)— S. Feld- man, Washington; P. Allen, McKin- ley; S. Burr, McKinley.

Baseball especially needs that kind of support as the players always have to be wide awake and on their toes. During the past term there has been only one game where any school spirit was shown at all. At the other games two or three rooters were seen and then some of the boys appeared expecting to play. Owing to the long distance to San Pablo Park where the majority of the con- tests were held, some are excused, but if the boys who have bicycles would appear now and then there would be enough to keep the team in good spirit. Our hardest opponents during the season have been Franklin boys. e were easy victors over the other schools and did not have to worry much about them.
