Leroy kirkpatrick, who will be
given a chance to compete IN the
OLYMPIC trials added another rec
ORD to his already long list Sat
urday. when he set a Junior college
record of l4.4 in the 100 yard high
hurdles.
Roy has run several brilliant
hurdle races this year and has
beaten every first class hurler on
the coast.
He is considered sure bet to
make the United States Olympic
team and represent Uncle Sam IN
Germany this year.
Kirk ran his first hurdle race Tor
Fl Centro high school when he was
a freshman. Ebert Berry, the reg
ular hurdler, was slated to run IN
an important meet but came up
with a bad leg and was unable to
run the race.
As a last resort the high school
coach stuck Kirkpatrick, who was
running sprints at the time, in the
race.
Roy Travelled over the barriers
in great time and the high school
coach decided to let Kirk run the
hurdle qaces in all meets.
Ebert Berry. though not as fast
as Kirk. knew all Of the tricks OF
the trade and he devoted many
hours every night in teaching Kirk
patrick the finer points. Under
Berry's careful coaching Kirk rap
idly developed into the greatest
high school hurdler in the country.
AS a sophomore and as a junior
he broke every existing high school
record and approached several in
tercollegiate and national records.
Today he is rated among the best
and is sharing top spot in the world
Of sport.
Jack Tackett pulled the biggest
upset of the season on the El Cen
tro police range Sunday afternoon
when he won first honors in the
fifty yard slow fire event.
Tackett plunked the lead into the
target steadily to run up the best
score of the season. He chuckled TO
himself as the judges counted his
points and Ackley and Heating
stared at the card unbelieyingly.
HIN said Bill, Il must have
shot some Of those On your target
Jack"
Nuts" said Tackett, You can't
even hit your own target. How IN
the - (censoreO could you hit
mine?'
Tackett'S score in the so yard
match would have won nine out OF
ten shoots in any competition in
the country and Jack deserves a lot
of praise

Two weeks ago Mr.. Famiglietti
appeared before the board and pre-
sented his case, stating that he
lived only o short distance from
briggs, though he was residing In
the Kingsbury school district, and
1t would make little difference to
the board If his children were al
lowed to go to a school they liked
better and which, he further point
cd out, would do them the most
good. At the time he stated that all
public schools are the same on the
surface but that 1t was obvious that
briggs and Kingsbury were quite
unlike in connection with the pu-
pills who actually attend the two
schools.
Who's Who
The petitioner very bluntly an
swered 2 weeks ago In response TO
question from chairman Of the
board, John j. Walsh, that the chill
dren Of John p. Elton, Of Church
street, attended Bunker Hill school,
when, according to the school dis
trict regulations, they should be at
tending the Begnal school in Brook
lyn. He also said that 1t seemed to
him that position and money played
a part in the making Of such ex-
ceptions by the board Of education.
Second Petition
The matter, along with the petit
ton Of Mrs. Margaret Prone, who
wanted to have her children trans
ferred, incidentally enough, from
briggs school to Walsh school, was
referred to the committee ON rules,
and a decision in connection with
the matter should be made public
at this afternoons meeting.

It's regular school and it's the regu-
lar thing. The school is near Prince
Frederick, and the motor launch, their
aquatic school bus," starts every
morning at o'clock from the most
distant part of the island. Wherever
there's docking place where the kids
can get on, that's a regular stop. The
skipper tootles his horn and the pupils
pile on and cruise along to their day
at school.
It's cheaper than regular bus
would be and holds more pupils than
could be stuffed in one Of the land
vehicles. These children are the only
ones east of the Mississippi who ride
thus to school. and they get big kick
out Of this unique distinction. Fur
thermore, there's tang in the salt air
that gives them an appetite-both for
eating and working.
