Mission has a very strong cross
country team. Butts. Hall. F'laherty.
Mathe HEM and McMullen will be de

Mission has probably the best swim
ming team of any of the high schools
in the city. W. stafford has proved
himself one of the cleverest young

yards there is hardly a high school boy
in the city who can take his measure.
