BASKETBALL GIRLS ' The girls did not play a regular noon tourna- ment in basketball. But the girls were good sports about it. The L-8 ' s and H-8 ' s basketball inter-school teams weren ' t too successful in win- ing games, but they won with their sportsman- ship. The L-9 ' s and H-9 ' s lost to Burbank but won over Garfield. We had loads of fun and there was loads of good sportsmanship. With the help of Jane Mills the girls ' noon league for softball had a better start. Our soft- ball inter-school teams were grand but still did not win all their games. The L-8 ' s and H-8 ' s lost both of their games. The L-9 ' s and H-9 ' s lost to Burbank, but again won over Garfield. This soft- ball season has been a succeessful one, due to the grand sportsmanship of the girls. GLORIA GAPASIN BOYS ' This basketball season, Willard has had four consistent teams, the Unlimiteds, 115-pounds, 105 ' s, and the 95 ' s. The 95 ' s, a good spirited team, placed them- selves in second place. The 105 ' s, combining sharp-shooting and good sportsmanship, ran second in their league. The 1 1 5 ' s, another sharp-shooting team, went cn up to win their league and became cham- pions. They were also champions of a Saturday playground league. But the Unlimiteds, with the most outstanding record of sharp-shooting, confidence and team- work, which were very important, went on through their season without a defeat. And be- sides becoming champions of the inter-school league, they went on to become city champs. Win or lose, the fight and the sportsmanship in our teams made us proud to be represented by them.

JOHN WAGNER JUNIOR RED CROSS At Christmas time the Junior Red Cross sent several hundred Christmas cards and posters to the Veteran Hospitals. They were made by the art classes. At this time they also made favors for their tables. Last year we filled sixty overseas Red Cross boxes. Everybody enjoyed fixing them as nice as they possibly could. On March 21 the Junior Red Cross represent- atives were invited to a luncheon given by the Red Cross. During the Red Cross drive the students of Willard collected the total sum of $35.28. During the past several months the sewing classes have been busy making garments for the overseas children. On April 21 the students of Willard generously gave flowers for the Veteran Hospitals. This turned out to be a great success. ART CLUB The Art Club this semester has been reorgan- ized to meet 4th period on Mondays and Tues- days. We have been doing many silk screen projects. Up to three color prints have been done and up to date about twenty-five yards of ma- terial have been printed by different students. Also three poster projects have been done for (1) the Berkeley Schools Music Concert, (2) Junior Red Cross bulletin board, and (3) Easter posters for the Red Cross. The Target cover and inside blocks were also projects done by three High-9 girls, Catherine Syversen, Maurine Simoneau and Margaret Syversen. CATHERINE SYVERSEN 15
