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.

GIRLS ' BASKET-BALL. Since the last issue of the Target, our girls have played two games with the Richmond High School.

In Section B: Anita Foss, Captains Enid Browning, Miriam Mack, Eleanor Bonner, Elizabeth Roberts, Margaret Phinney, Edith Wieland, Gertrude Hatch and Florinne Rahill. A WINTER EVENING. Outside, the wind roared and blew, shaking the rafters, tearing around the corners of the house, and shriek- ing like some mad thing let loose. The snow was swirled and heaped against the window pane until it seemed as if the glass would break with the pres- sure. We could hear an occasional crack of a tree limb torn away by the storm. Now it was quiet, very quiet, then the wind came with terrific force carrying all small objects in its path. The sleet and snow fell harder, the beams and rafters groaned, keeping time with the wind. Now, it was snowing steadily and the wind did not come in sudden gusts, but roared steadily on. Inside, we huddled close to the fire. To pass the long winter evening we roasted chestnuts, popped corn and grandfather told us stories; stories of Indians that scalped white people, stole children and burned and sacked villages; also of witches and ghosts until we did not dare look behind us, and every creak and noice had a sinister sound. The shrieking wind seemed to be an Indian giving his war cry and bearing down on a helpless little child. The creaking of branches seemed like the cackling laugh of the witches, the moaning boughs were goblins celebrating the capture of a bad boy who would not say his pray- ers. Then it was time to go to bed. The lights were put out and we hurried to bed, leaving the storm to roar on in darkness. DOROTHY MANASSE. EXPOSITION SMILES. Near-sighted old lady, (watching chickens being roasted on spit over the fire): Oh they ' re roasting the chickens alive. Look at them jump- ing around in the fire.
