Class Of 1893

The exercises of the class of 1909 of
the county high school were fairly we'll
attended last night. The exercises
opened with singing by the school, after
which Miss Ellen Brown read the class
prophecy: Joseph Hennen, the class
history: and Charles Pratt, the class will.
These exercises were interspersed with
singing. Allyn Carville and Miss Vivian
Hickey sang solos and the graduates
rendered quartette.
At the conclusion of these exercises,
Joe Hennen, business manager of The
Pohob, the high school paper, stepped
in front of the writer and, in tones of
command, said; "Mr Booher, stand up"
Mr.. B. not rising as quickly as Joe
thought he ought to. Joe repeated the
command. When his victim was on
his feet. Joe handed him beautiful
pipe as a token of the appreciation of
the school for the interest he had taken
in publishing The Pohob. :.
The presentation was a complete
surprise and knocked the editor clear
off his feet. He tried to tell the young
people his appreciation of their gift, but
was so overcome by feeling that crept
over him that he was unable to do so.
He, therefore, takes this opportunity to
say to the students of the high school
that he appreciates their gift more than
he is able to express in words. The
spirit in which the gift was made makes
it far more valuable to him than it's
worth in the coin of the realm. 1t will
be kept and used as time goes by and
cherished as a remembrance of the
young people connected with issuance
Of the first two numbers of their school
paper. If the assistance he was able to
give these young people made their
work easier or helped them in any way,
he is more than doubly paid by this
token of their esteem.
In the years to come, may the young
people of the high school enjoy the full
measure of success and happiness and
may future issues of The Pohob excel
any that has gone before,
After the presentation, Joe Nc
Namara, one of the class of 1908, read
several selections from The Pohob,
after which dancing followed and
closed the entertainment.

For Contest on
Mission Field
ST Mary'S and Santa Clara
Teams viii Decide Suprem-
acy of Catholic Colleges
By WILLIAM UNMACK

Jupiter Pluvius has had long reign,
but according to the weather prophets
there is to be none of his rain for the
football game between Santa Clara
college and St. Mary's this afternoon
at the Mission street grounds. Both
teams are in the very best of condition
and ready for a hard game The rains
of the week have made the Mission
street lot anything but fast one for
Rugby. and to all appearance the out
come of the game will to a great extent
depend on the ability of the forwards
OF both teams.
AT Santa Clara last night the faculty
or the college rendered :. the team a
banquet, and, a hearty sendoff was
accorded the team by the student BODY
All day yesterday the Prune boys team
spent the day in the country to get
away from the talk and excitement of
the campus.
The st. Mary's team spent the day
quietly, and this morning will come
over TO the Olympic club, where they

There is a feeling of optimism at
each college as to the result of the
contest. The teams have both practiced
consclentlously all through the sea son.
and during the last two weeks have
done considerable hard practice be

the Santa Clara team for some time

The forwards at these two colleges

be played at 1890 O'Clock this morn

grounds, Fifty-seventh and Grove

Century athletic club of Oakland and
