According to this Advisory System, students are not grouped registration according to their year of schooling, as hereto- The teachers have been given a class consisting exclusively of boys, and the women teachers one of girls. Fifteen minutes are devoted each day to an advisory period, during which time the teacher, or advisor as he is called, con- Ul system of registration has been established and so far it has proved an entire success students containing men fers with the class on individual matters or on general questions 1 interest. lvantages of this new advisory system are many: It gives to each student a single teacher under whose direction he will spend his entire four years at High School. Heretofore, each student had a new teacher to get acquainted with each year. This teacher frequently gave contradictory advice and often the ident confused and his course lacked consistent guidance. Now, however, the teacher may not only help each student plan the entire course, but be able to help him carry it out consecutively. It breaks liques caused by class distinction. Freshmen do not feel so isolated from the upper-classmen, and students no longer attend school merely to reach that beautified where they may be looked up to as a Senior.

She was born and reared in the mountain regions of Kentucky at a time when clan feuds and warfare were at their fiercest. When she neared womanhood, her chose for her husband a young man from a friendly and announced his daughter's betrothal. But the girl loved another, and, to make matters worse, he was a member of a hostile clan. One dark night there was a descent via the traditional ladder into the waiting lover’s arms, and a wild dash on horseback through the darkness to the temporary home of the circuit-rider. There they were married, and in the early morning they rode back to the home of the bride. As they dismounted, her father and her eight gigantic broth- ers swarmed out to meet them. “I am Jimmy’s wife,” she said quietly. They knew the youth for their foe, and the weapon of the foremost brother leaped from the holster. “You're his widow!” he shouted, his f She flung herself before the pistol. “Shoot, if you dare!” she said. But in a second the young husband had swung her behind him and himself confronted the raging brother. “Yes; shoot, if you dare!” he repeated, and folded his arms. father family, face black with fury.

Ken tucky was seized and held in the Union by the armies of the North, so the members of the bride’s and groom’s families, threatened with arrest as Southern sympathizers, fled to Mis- souri. The young couple found a temporary refuge on the planta tion of an old family friend, Major McGuffin, at the time away from home and bravely fighting in the Southern army. He had heard of their trouble, and by means of a secret messenger made them heartily welcome to everything he had. There was the more reason his own absence in the fact that a strong force of Federals was camped in the vicinity of his home. For nearly a year the young husband and wife re mained at the plantation, and a baby girl came to them there. One day, while her husband was away, the young wife was startled by a cautious knock at a rear door. moment later Major McGuffin, tattered and bleeding, staggered in, to 1 Cemples of Pwstum N olden-time poet of France wrote a ballad, in which 1e questioned what had become of Thais and He of Joan and Bertha—heroines who changed histories in their lives. and who now are but grace ful names to quicken imagination.

N order to refill the Treasury of the A. S, A. H. S., drained by an expensive football season, a vaude- ville show was produced at the Haight School near the end of the last term. The performance was a : success, a sum of over eighty dollars being realized. Much credit is due to the skillful management of Harold Etter, who was ably assisted by Robert Baker and Jeanne Sturtevant. An appreciative audience attended and each num- ber received its portion of applause. The program opened with a pleasing selection by Miss Todd’s orchestra, composed mostly of High School students. Russian terpsichorean novelty followed, which was a splen- did exhibition of grace, and received well merited approval. Clark’s Hawaiian Serenaders featuring four native Hawalians sang songs of their own land. Their mellow renditions of melo- dies were encored several times. “A Proposal Under Difficul- ties,” written by Howard Vose of Fremont High School, fol- lowed, The parts were acted by the author, Leslie Fletcher, HeHINGK ddie Combs, and Grace Bradfor splendid example of inter-high-school ciously volunteering to aid Ala1 rical work. As the name implies, it errors. Many compromising situations were involved, but in the conclusion, the charming little skit righted itself, and after explanations, Howard Vose, as Bob Yardsley, won fair Doro- thy (Grace Bradford), much to the consternation of Jack Bar- low (Leslie Fletcher), his rival. Miss Mary Anderson, an alumna of Alameda. rendered several vocal solos. She is possessed of a sweet soprano voice, of a pleasing quality, and delighted the music-lovers among the audience. Now, came the climax of the show. It was considerable conclusion. The audience awaited with eager expectancy. The curtains parted, and out stepped “Duke” Joseph, to brave the multitude and explain the magnitude of the gorgeous array of thespian magnificence about to follow. The curtain rose slowly, di closing the stage empty save for a piano and a settee. The silence was audible. Every one sat back in breathless anxiety. Page 61 t?

HE social events of the fall term of 1913 ended with the dance given by the graduating class at Haight School, on the last day of the term. The auditorium showed the influence of Christmas, for red bells and greens were much used for decoration. 13” pennants in the class colors adorned the walls. The dance was ably managed by Wilfred Traphagen, and was a success in every particular. REUNION OF THE CLASS OF DECEMBER, ’13. The members of the Class of December, ’13, held a reunion at the home of Mildred Strouss, on Clinton avenue, on January sixth. The untangling of a huge spider-web occupied the guests in the early part of the evening, after which various games were played. The novel place cards found at the supper table caused much laughter, for each represented a hobby or a characteristic of its owner. The enjoyable evening was con cluded by music and daneing. HAROLD ETTER AND GEO. LATHAM GIVE DANCE. Harold Etter and George Latham were hosts at a dance, given at Adelphian Hall, on Saturday evening, January the tenth. The hall was tastefully decorated with greens and foliage, and several surprises were arranged for the enjoyment of the hundred guests from Alameda and Oakland. MERRILL BROWN IS HOST AT DANCE.

A delightful program was rendered, Dr. Thompson opening it with a greeting to the Freshmen. Miss Ella Br ywning also welcomed the guests of the day and Miss Edith Meyers re- sponded for them. A skit put on by the Low Seniors and entitled, “Just a Little Fun,” followed. Miss Eugen’e Brewer then danced and sang, and Miss Edna Close concluded the program with two recitations. The rest of the afternoon was devoted to dancing, dainty refreshments, and making new ac- quaintances. EMERSON SPEAR IS HOST AT DANCE. Emerson Spear was host at a dance, which was given at his home on St. Valentine’s evening. The house was beautified with decorations appropriate to t there were he day. During the evening several favor dances and a d elicious supper, which were greatly enjoyed by the guests.

ITH spring. at hand, Captain Brewer called out the Hopes of Alameda, the 1914 baseball squad. Daily turn-outs were begun with the following veterans on hand, “Len” Hollywood, Alameda’s boy wonder “Hack” “Dexter. and Brewer. Later, Larkin and “Windy” Branscheid joined the squad. The remainder of the squad had in it a bunch of comers, who later in the season showed to advantage. The squad of recruits were composed of, “Diddie” Hollywood, Laidlaw, Dickinson, De La Mater, White, Townsend, Benedicktsen, Shepardson, Vaughan, and Riddell. Captain Brewer worked hard with the squad, and, with “Len” Hollywood, coached the bunch and picked the team. Of the new material not too much can be said. Laidlaw at first base was the life of the infield, while “Diddie” Hollywood at third had more tricks in his dome than the whole team put together. “Zacher” Dickinson improved a thousand per cent, and at last made the team. He was certainly needed to jail the fly balls in center field. White has a fine arm and held down the left garden in great style. Frank Gay was secured as coach in the middle of March. The name Gay should be enough to make a good team for Alameda, as the Gays have repeatedly played and captained championship teams for us. Frank, now a professional ball player, began his career in Alameda High. He was picked up one day while scouting flies for the first team and made regular shortstop. In that year, ’07, Alameda won the championship, game, after the fourth inning, was quite exciting, both rs being t reely, but good fielding put many a lent in the hit column.

The game was played on their grounds, which were hard gravel with a wonderful setting of cobble and stones. Besides this difficulty, the sun was in every one’s eyes, but the catchers. This made the farce, for as soon as a ball went into the air, it would find every one crouching for fear of being hit, For this reason home-runs and extra cushions were plentiful. Our boys certainly had their batting eyes along, and with the help of the run and the hard ground, Campi, the first string pitcher, was knocked out of the box, his great career ending when Laidlaw (Battling Hoiman) slammed out a home-run with the bases full. “Len” Hollywood pitched, and by the way the opposing team struck at the ball, it looked as though he had something on it. His pitching made a shake-up in the infield, but with White on third and P. Hollywood on short, the boys did well. The score: ALAMEDA. OAKLAND POLY, ab. r. bh. sb. po. a. P.

We extend the thanks of the staff to the Faculty for help in correcting errors and for stimulating advice; to R. S. Kitchener, the printers: to the Phoenix Engraving Co., for professional advice: to the Star and Key Society; to the High Seniors for both financial and literary contributions; to the advertisers and subscribers for the support which has made this issue possible; and lastly, the students who have contributed the material for the pages of this issue. To keep up our advertising department in Tur Acoxn it is absolutely necessary that the students co-operate more and more with the advertiser to show him that his support is appreciated. To make Tur Acorn a good medium, the students must patronize the advertiser. To do this, be careful in trading to call attention to the fact that you noticed the firm’s advertise- ment in THe Acorn. By this way, only, can you make the advertiser feel the value of THE Acorn. Remember, without the advertiser’s patronage, the publi- cation of this book would not be possible.

We sit down in the morning and read our newspaper. We think of the soldiers, of their bravery, and of the danger they run; but do we often think of the men who gather the news—the war-correspondents who are on the field of action to get the first-hand information which feeds the news-hungry public? John Quinlan, the European correspondent of the New York “Times,” was in London at the outbreak of hostilities. Mr. Quinlan had been a war-correspondent in three campaigns, the Boer war, the Spanish-American war, and the Russo-Jap- anese war. He was a man of undaunted courage, fearless to a fault, and with a keen insight into human characteristics. He wore the Victoria Cross of England, and the Congressional Medal of Honor of our own country. The editor of the “Times” knew what Quinlan was worth, and immediately cabled him to get certain passports and documents, and to get himself into the field as quickly as possible. The post-script contained these words, “Spare no expense.” Quinlan had been momentarily expecting such a commu- nication. He had his hand-bag packed, his passports in his breast-pocket, a bulge in his coat told where his automatic pistol was stored, and a bulging wallet told that he had taken Page 18 advantage of the last part of the message. Thus equipped, he left Charing Cross with a light heart. The Great Station was packed. The troops were entraining. The crowd cheered, the cheers mixing with the martial music of the regimental bands. Quinlan found himself in a compartment with several English officers. One of these officers noticed the two medals which Quinlan wore on his vest, and after the train was under way politely expressed some curiosity concerning them, An older officer reached into his pocket and produced his card. Quinlan, in turn, produced his. across the face of the officer who also wore the Victoria Cross, “Are you the man who held off fifty armed Boers from a farm near Boer Kopje, and saved the women and children until the reinforcements came up?” Quinlan admitted that he was, but tried to deny the fact that he had done anything wonderful. “T happened to have charge of the reinforcements,” re marked the officer. When the train arrived at Southhampton the officers, who were members of the aviation corps, cordially shook hands with Quinlan, expressing the hope that they would soon see him again. few days later, we find Quinlan in Paris. The Germans were advancing. He had been out to the line several times, and had seen it gradually beaten back, until the roar of artil- lery could continually be heard in Paris. Walking in the streets he saw the preparations for defense. Barricades in the A surprised expression ran YOBI SAN the rice plants beyond Na- tama. She was an innocent little girl. She knew how to care for the rice, standing knee-deep in the oozy mud, with her brightly colored kimoma tucked high about her slender waist. She had always done that. She knew how to tend to her old aunt who had cared for her when she was a baby. She knew that the snows came to soothe the tired earth to peacefulness, that it was the soft white clouds weeping when the thousands of blossoms dropped in the Spring, that when a bird swept by her on the Summer’s breeze she must say a prayer for a wandering soul. She believed that somewhere, their haunts she knew not, were gods who would hear her prayer, and that somewhefe in the world there was one who ruled for the gods. For to her aunt, Yoba San carried all her small desires, but the great things she whispered to the all-seeing gods, and if her petitions were denied—why, the gods knew best. Of war Yobi San knew nothing. She had seen the image of the war- god in the temple. If war was like the idol’s face, it must truly be cruel and terrible. She had heard that there was war in the land, and the Emperor had called for all t he men of the rice-fields. None were left now but women and little children, and the old men of the temple. Yobi San, standing in the blue ooze between the long rows of rice stalks, heard the Emperor’s call, too. What would her answer be? What could her small strength do to help in Page 22 What answer could she give? A ; I the great time of need? slender, blue heron rose from the stream among the hills, and with a great flapping of wings soared up to the temple on the mountain-side and settled on the over- hanging ledge. Yobi San clapped her hands. The all-powerful gods would give her the answer. She would go and make herself fit to supplicate the gods. After putting on her best kimona iat flowed slowly and smoothing her long, shiny hair, the girl threaded her way 2g through the bamboo grove to the old gray steps of the temple. Here she stopped. If the gods should tell her to go! How could she? How could she leave her old aunt, so feeble and so blind? But only for a second did she ponder. The gods would know best; as they commanded, so could she do. Yobi San passed up the stairs and into the court. At the inner gate she stood still a moment; then, with a radiant look straight into the face of her god, she knelt down on the floor. With quick-coming breath and soft-pressing together of her small hands, she made her request. Would the august gods tell her what she could do for her country, for her Emperor who had called on his people to help him? It was only a short prayer, but if it were best that she should do something, the august gods would show her how. Yobi San knew that she could not stay long away from her work in the rice-fields, but the good bird, who had shown her the way to the shrine of the gods must be thanked.

The MAKING GOOD OUD and clear came the exulting cheers from the Essex stand, resplendent in tossing red and white, as the ball advanced steadily down the field under the g3]} powerful attack of the Essex forwards. The opposing Vail forwards, fighting desperately to avoid being scored upon, leaped into the ruck, and a meleé ensued, out of which the ball suddenly shot toward Stanton, the Vail center-three. Snatch- ing the ball on the bound, amid the frantic cheers of encour- agement from the Vail rooters, Stanton dashed around the con- fused tangle of forwards, and 1 dashed for the Essex goal-line, followed by the rest of the Vail backfield. Just before being tackled, he passed the ball to his wing three-quarters, who, before being downed, kicked to touch. Between them, they had advanced the ball to the center of the field, placing the Vail goal out of danger. Over in the Vail stands, from the white and gold supporters, came a storm of cheers, as the opposing forwards lined up, awaiting the ball which the Essex wing was about to toss into the line-out. As the ball was thrown in, Norman, the Vail rear-ranker, leaped into the air and caught it. He put the ball to his feet, and the Vail forwards, obedient to the half-back’s shrill, “Get around him, forwards!” rallied. In the ensuing scrum the Vail forwards hooked the ball back to their half-back, who imme- diately passed to the first-five. The latter started a passing rush for the Essex goal-line. The rush succeeded perfectly, the ball being passed out to Wilson, the Vail left-wing, who advanced it to the Essex five-yard line before being downed. Above the stamping of feet, above the wild cheering from the Page 26 gold and white stands, came the insistent cry of the rallying Essex rooters: “Fight ’em, Essex, Fight ’em, Essex, Fight ’em, Essex.” The Essex team, responding to the cry of their supporters, fought so desperately that the ball was still in play, when the shrill call of the referee’s whistle announced the ending of the first half. In the Vail dressing-room was a scene of confusion, as the players, while being rubbed by the trainer, discussed the first half, criticising and praising one another. All became silent as the coach entered. -He began to encourage theni, pointing out the misplays, and showing what should have been done. “Johnston,” he said, addressing the Vail second-five, “you should have passed that ball when that Essex ‘smeared’ you! Never let me see you run with the ball under your arm, hold it in front of you, so you can get your pass away when tackled, Davis, keep the three- quarter line straight, and keep out of the scrum! Understand? Wilson, you get drawn in too close. Mark your man and play him! The next time I see any of you back-field men getting ‘sucked’ into the scrum, there'll be trouble! That was a good play you made, Bennett. Keep it up! You forwards will have to show more ‘pep, keep right on that ball! Never let it get away from you!

The Essex forwards had got- ten the ball, and were dribbling it down the field. The Vail forwards were making desperate efforts to reach the ball, when Wilson, the Vail wing, slid head-first into the tangle of feet, and put the ball under him. This respite enabled the Vail forwards to rally around him and stay the rush. The shrieks of joy from the White and Gold rooters was suddenly changed to groans, when it was seen that Wilson was sitting on the field, holding his ankle in his hands. He had twisted it severe- ly when he stopped the rush. While he was being helped off the field, the coach and captain held a consultation. “We'll have to use Gordon,” said the coach. “TI don’t like to trust him in the game; he’s not shown spirit enough to turn out,” argued the captain. “Give him a chance and he will make good,” answered the coach, confidently. He had observed Jack, and respected his reason for not turning out at the first of the season. When Gordon, hardly believing his ears, approached in answer to the call, the coach patted him kindly on the back, and said, “Now is your chance, boy, make gt sod !”� Wonder- fully heartened by the pas he that the coach believed in him, Jack took his place. The Vail rooters gave him a half- hearted cheer which he did not even hear, in his excitement. Play was resumed, the ball being thrown into the scrum on the Vail twenty-five-yard line. The Essex forwards got the ball. and heeled it out to the waiting half-back. The latter passed to the first-five, who started a back-field rush for the Vail goal. Down the field they came, with the White and Gold back-field striving desperately to hold them. As he was tackled, the Essex center-three-quarters passed to the waiting win. Jack Gordon, who had been watching his chance, rushed forward and intercepted the pass, eluding the Essex wing, who made a dive at him. Down the field he sped, deaf to the shrieks and pandemonium in the bleachers, with both teams piercing notes and sounds but served lenched her hands tightly 4 “1 silent now, but the hautboy c these msetit walk. had been _ GRADUATING Kg ™ SHO ANDADMN A W Roll of Class of Derember 14 Emily Baird Marjorie Brooks Arthur Merrill Brown Jr. Morris Richard Clark Muriel Cohen Walter C.

We have about one hundred and seven members in both companies, making it the head battalion of the East Bay schools. When Military was first started it was thought by all that it would never progress very far, as such a thing is very hard to keep going. But I think it will prove a great help to the High School and will continue. Next year I hope all the students will take an interest in this organization and make it a permanent institution in the Alameda High School. The cadets have been having target practice under the supervision of Lieutenant von Schmidt of Company “G,” Na- tional Guards. This is a great advantage to the students of the Alameda High School, as there are not very many Military companies in the high schools of this county. The highest score which has been made so far is 23 out of a possible 25, which was made by W. Kirk. The cadets have really shown up fine for the first practice they had, and if they keep this up they will surely win some trophies in competition with other high schools of this county. —‘JEFF” GANSER, Sergeant Major.

Geriures -- Calka -- Mirsirals The Visit of the San Jose Board of Education Superintendent Du Four and the Alameda Board of Edu cation entertained the members of the San Jose Board and the Superintendent of Schools, Mr, Alex. Sheriffs, on Novem- ber fourth, at a luncheon planned and served by the Domestic Science department of Alameda High. During the morning the party visited our various elementary schools, which they complimented highly. At a quarter after twelve luncheon was served in the kin- dergarten room of Ported School. Helen Bruton, Margaret Calcutt, Anna Hansen, and Ruth Hendrickson acted as wait resses for the occasion. The decorations, supervised by Miss Hazel Abernathy, were yellow and white chrysanthemums and autumn leaves. In the center of the table was a large gilded basket of fruit surrounded by autumn foliage, and at the place of each guest were flowers of the school colors. The place and menu cards and the almond boxes (work of the Art de- partment) were acorn designs with the monogram ol! the High School in gold letters on a white back. During the luncheon an enjoyable program was furnished by Margaret Temple, Carol Higby, Geraldine Traphagen, Jeanne Sturtevant, Esther Bruton, Elsie Hebrank, Mignon Henrici, and Grace Bradford, the Ukelele girls who have gained much distinction for the part they have taken in school activities during the term. The following menu was prepared by the girls under the able direction of Miss Belle Rosenthal: Sardellen Canapé. Salted Almonds Olives Consommeé a Finger Rolls Broiled Chicken Potatoes Anna Almond Conserve Poinsettia Salad Stuffed Baked Squash Rusks Cheese Crackers Individual Strawberry Shortcak« Black Coffee Cheese Fruit Candy The rest of the afternoon was spent in visiting the High School. Mr. Ginchman’s Talk On August seventh, Mr, Hinchman of the Adjutant-Gen eral’s office gave an interesting talk upon the subject of a Cadet Corps to be founded at Alame High School. Mr. Hinchman spoke from actual experience and his talk made a decided appeal to the students. In his remarks, Mr. Hinch man mentioned the various benefits of a Military System and told of the distinction it would bring to Alameda High School. The speech was especially appreciated because Mr. Hinchman spoke from first-hand knowledge. As we all know, a system such as suggested has since been successfully inaugurated to our betterment. ’ “ .

This term saw the production of the first real vaudeville show in many a year. We have had plenty of attempts to produce such shows, but this term’s production demonstrated the possibilities of this form of entertainment. The affair went off smoothly from start to finish. The acts varied from a screamingly funny minstrel show to a dainty little musical skit. The dances which were performed were very clever. A sensation was produced by the living statuary act which Otto Rittler coached. It was entirely a novel feature and one ich is not common to high school performances. The suc 1 ‘ which Page 62 cess of this show is undoubtably due to the untiring efforts of the Elks. They helped the show in every way they were able, Several of their members took leading parts in the various acts.

The program consisted of two skits, two singing numbers and several selections by the December, ‘14, Trio. “A Happy Couple,” one of the skits, was very clever. Marjorie Brooks and George Meyer certainly did “get away” with it well. “Regie Vaughan, the Grammar School Tenor,’ was well re- ceived by the students.

We hope to have many other similar excursions, as they are well attended by all members and are both interesting and instructive. Last term-some of the members of the Astronomy Club had the pleasure of attending an illustrated lecture upon the spectroscope. It was voted by the club to take that as the major topic for the term. to secure a repetition of the lecture upon the spectroscope and it was thought best to defer this subject until a later time. The last few evenings, being clear, were devoted to out door work with the telescope. Our telescope, although small, is a good one, and we are hoping to get a new and larger telescope from the Board of Education.

Its growth has been astounding, passing our most opti- mistic expectations. Naturally it is a difficult thing to make all students save and deposit in the A. H. S. S. S. On the other hand, scores of students consistently deposit small amounts. Such accounts as these herald the coming prosper- ity of the institution. The majority of the pupils will eventu- ally come to realize the opportunity that is constantly ten- dered them to save their spare change, and begin that ac- count which will bear them on to fortune. This is our aim. Among the various individuals who are giving their time and conscientious efforts in making ths institution a success are those who started and grew up in its progress. Those who rank highest are the manager, Mr. Evans, the originator of the idea; the cashier, Mr. E. T. DiVecchio, who has given constant attention to its interest; and Mr. D, F. Whistler, the manager of the Grammar School accounts. Many others have given their hearty support and co-operation. Sam Terry, Grace Bradford, H. Zobel, H. Etter, L. Weichart and Donald Lum have contributed generously by their efforts. D, Thomp. son is always boosting. Ed Horwinski and Andrew Lorent- zen are giving much. Dorothy Christensen is the Stenog- rapher and is always on the job. At the beginning of the term the cashier and manager of the institution were required by the state law to go under bonds. Since securing these bonds we have taken over the savings to two of the grammar schools, namely, the Porter and Haight Schools. Each of these schools has contributed a tidy sum to our balance. We have now seven hundred and fifty- nine accounts. Of these, three hundred and seven are high school accounts. The high school balance at this date is $2333.16, and the other schools, $369.37, making a total balance of $2702.53. While this is a good record, it is our hope and aim that the balance shall exceed $5000 by the close of next semester. This will probably be realized, for by that time all of the schools of Alameda will be putting their savings through the high school branches. By the time of the world’s fair we are going to have the finest thing of its kind in the United States. —FE. T. DiVECCHIO, Cashier.

MILITARY. Alameda High School stands foremost among the various other high schools of the State as being the first to adopt a system of Military training. In doing this we have taken a step which has long been discussed and viewed favorabl y by critics. In time the idea will spread throughout the various other high schools, and Alameda High will come to be looked upon as a model. The success of this measure is largely due to Mr. Rittler,. who has had the support of Dr. Thompson, the Faculty, and of the Board of Education, “JEFF” GANSER.

The girls, too, seemed to realize that their support aided the team, and the bleachers were conse- quently crowded with “fair ones.” The boys yelled hard, and although on several occasions we were outnumbered by the occupants of the opposing bleachers, the sp irit of our fel- lows was such that our “Brackety’” overpowered our rivals’ yells.

The cover design is good, but the advertisements should he confined to the back of the book. The stories are inter- sting and well written. A few good jokes would add greatly to the variety of the book. “The Engineer’—Polytechnic College of Engineering, Oak land. “The Engineer” has many good cuts which are needed to make a good book. The josh department is out of the ordi- maty, and the literary work is extensive and good. “The California News’”—bBerkeley. The Acorn is interested in this paper, and hopes to re ceive it often, because it gives a good idea of what is done at the Institute. “The Owl’—Fresno Hight School. The short stories are good, and the paper is to be con gratulated upon many new joshes, but the cuts are few and of no especial value. “The Girls’ Aegis”—Oakland High School. It is a splendid magazine, and a creditable thing for the girls to issue. The cartooning adds greatly to the josh de partment, which is in itself clever and witty. “The Chaparral”—Stanford University. This paper is as amusing as ever, but the advertisements should be confined within the cover. The designers are skilled. “The Cricket”—Belmont School. “The Cricket” is one of the best books received, with good cuts end cover. The josh department should be more Page extensive. The Acorn looks forward to the next edition. “Recuerdos”—Reno High School, Nevada. This is a splendid book throughout, with good cuts an excellent josh department.

Through Otto Rittler, former Director of Athletics at St. Mary’s College, the Athletic situation has taken on an entirely different ce Through a ruling of the Athletic Committee and Dr. Thompson, every boy in the school is compelled to turn ah for some branch of Athletics, and now every form of sport is being systematized in such a way that every one, large or small, may participate in some sport. This season Alameda had the most successful football team for several years. With gloomy prospects and a dis- couraging beginning, the team, under the expert direction of Coach Rittler, and the able leadership of Captain Von Schmidt, fought its way through the semi-finals to the finals, playing Berkeley for the championship. Although finally beaten, it was well known around the bay that Alameda was on the map, and we had a team to be justly proud of. That the team was of first-class caliber is shown by the fact that in nine games, only 46 points were scored against Alameda, while our boys piled up 156 against their opponents, a truly remark- able record. Not enough credit can be given to Otto Rittler, our sterling coach, for the way he built up a championship contender when prospects looked gloomiest. Also, we owe great thanks to Major Tilden, the king of all Alameda High rooters. The major was on the side-lines at every important game, cheering in that “peppy” manner which only he can do. This season, Major Tilden presented the school with a Page 90 ‘ioe beautiful silver cup which is to be competed for year after year in punting contests by the football team. The victor of the contest each year will have his name engraved on the cup. It is needless to say that we thank Major Tilden from the bottom of our hearts. His ki ndness and effort in our behalf will never be forgotten. “Bud” Larkin has been elected football captain for 191s, and with at least ten veterans and a rattling good second team to pick from, it looks like a successful season next year, . ic] OTTO RITTLER, Physical Director KRittler on Athletics have been, and Tennis, v benefit both the weakest and smalles nO Basel Chen there Football te: materia Page 92 ime naea ee GAMES 5 Lowell Cogswell | (ot peer ree 7 St. Ignatius Palo Alto - Oakland Poly Oakland Oakland Berkeley NnNUNNnNNNnNnwnnYy League games.

The first half was fast and snappy and ended with no score for either side, although the ball was in Cogswell’s territory most of the time. The second half was also fast and furious. Near the close, Cogswell scored on a passing rush from Alameda’s 25-yard line, after which she crossed for a try again, this time converting. During this half a Cogswell man was ejected from the game for rough tactics. Alameda had much hard luck, crossing Cogswell’s line four times, but each time losing the ball. Captain Von Schmidt, Birbeck, Haskins, and Hardin played well for Alameda. Alameda, 37—Lick, o Alameda broke into the win column for the first time on Wednesday, September 16th, when we beat Lick at Lincoln Park, 37 too. It was the first game since Coach Otto Rittler had taken charge of the team and their showing was grati- fying to all. The backfield executed many brilliant passing tushes which often culminated in tries. Captain Von Schmidt was the star of the backfield, at one time hurdling over three men for a try. Perkins and Dexter also played well in the backfield, while Latham, Hogan, and Hardin starred in the scrum. Alameda, 65—St. Ignatius, o. Alameda ran up the record score of the season when she took St. Ignatius into camp—65 too. In spite of the fact that the San Franciscans outweighed us, our boys were altogether too fast for them and scored almost at will. Al and backfield worked in perfect harmony and the ru; from the Catholic institution found it impossible to stop them. Nearly every man on the team made a try, there being thi teen in all. There were no individual stars, as every one on our team played first-class Rugby. This slaughter served as a good work-out for the boys. lameda’s sc1 Alameda, 25—Palo Alto, 5. Our boys sprang a big surprise in Rugby circles when they journeyed down to Palo Alto and defeated the aggrega tion from that town by a score of 25 to 5.

Cope Page 93 Oakland, o—Alameda, o. Alameda, o. ROLAND VON SCHMIDT Captain HE past season has, in my opinion, been the most successful Rugby year we have had. I base my opin‘o on our large number of victories and also upon the fa that this year Alameda, for the first time, plaved in the final game for the Rugby championship of northern California. The success of our team was due largely to the untiring efforts of Otto Rittler, who certainly is a “Miracle Man.” He took a team that had been beaten in the only two games it had played and combined team-work with trick plays so that he produced a straight line of victories until the last game of the season. This game we lost, but we were not disgraced. We have lost the championship and the season is over, but let us bend our efforts toward making Alameda High the champions of California for 1915. —“JOE” VON SCHMIDT.

This season Alameda’s second football team played three games, winning two and losing one. They defeated Lincoln School twice, 19 to 0, and 29 to o. Our boys outclassed the Grammar School Ruggers in every department of the game and had no trouble running up large scores. However. they tan up against a different proposition, against Deaf and Dumb,—tasting defeat by a score of 6 to 3. (The Deaf and Dumb outweighed our boys quite a bit, but the game was hard-fought throughout. The team kept together during the season and was a great help to the first team, who found them a pretty stiff proposition when the two teams tangled. A great deal of good material was developed, and is being counted on for the 1915 first team. THE SECOND TEAM. Front Rank— BROWN, DICKINSON, F. Middle Rank— RYAN, LYNCH (Captain).

WATER BOYS Keniew of the Players ALAPTAIN “Joe” Von Schmidt has distinguished himseli this season, not only as the best first-five around the bay, but also as a leader. He was always filled with mO)| the fighting spirit and never failed to instill his men “Andy” Townsend was the other middle-ranker. Coach Rittler certainly made a good move when he put “Andy” in the scrum, for he is a wonder in that capacity. However, he is also a first-class wing. “Tommy” Birbeck and “Lamba” Hardin held down the break-away position, Both of these boys were regular speed- burners and were right on top of the ball all of the time. Hoim” Laidlaw, our big lock, was always in the middle of every play and fighting and shouting constantly, with the right “pep.” “Swede” Smith is a new hand at Rugby, but he seemed to take naturally to the game and is a “bear cat” front- ranker. “Fat” Latham at middle-front-rank was a valuable and dependable player and will be one of the mainstays on the 1915 team. “Red” Mehan showed great form this season. Unlucky was the man who opposed “Red” on the line-outs. Charlie, along with Captain Von Schmidt, was chosen as one of the All-Star High School fifteen of Alameda county. “Lung” Pearson at middle-rank played a steady game throughout the season and excelled at dribbling and on the DEAN PERKINS, Manager defensive.

The team will be co ached by Otto Rittler, who can take care of his part of the game.

This year the basketball girls in Alameda High School have begun the season under the most favorable conditions that have existed for some time. For the first time in many years the girls have a coach, and for this reason feel that they have a good chance for winning when competing with other schools. At the beginning of the term, about the usual num- ber of girls turned out. Those actively engaged in basketball work now are: Helen Anderson, Ruth Benas, Eleanor Clark, Margaret Fulton, Alfreda Gorgeson, Juliet Greub, Ruth Hen- derkson, Edith Nickerson, Adabelle Sutton, and Susie Pierson, The girls turn out twice a week on the High School court, and Mr. Rittler supervises the practice. Several games, be- sides those with various grammar schools in Alameda, are scheduled to be played this fall, for many challenges have been received and some accepted. The girls will probably play for practice games the following teams: Miss Ransom’s School, Miss Head’s School, and all the Grammar Schools of Alameda, which will lead to the league games with Fremont High, Oakland High, Oakland Polytechnic, and Berkeley High. —SUSIE F.

Enough girls signified an interest in row- ing to form three crews, each crew electing its own captain and various other officers. The first crew was made up of members of last term’s victorious crews. An invitation to take part in the regatta on Lake Merritt on Columbus Day being received, it was decided to enter only one crew from this school, so the first crew was chosen. The girls raised A. H. S. ROWING CREW enough money by a sandwich sale to induce Mr. Meyers, in- structor in rowing at Goat Island, to coach them. In the race they showed grit and determination, and ex- hibited splendid team work, but the stroke was too short and the race was lost to California and Fremont. However, their losses have not discouraged them, and they expect to accept many challenges next term, and to carry off the honors. The crew wishes to thank Mr. Phelps, Mr. Rittler, and the boys who helped them in painting the boat. PRISCILLA KRUSI, Manager.
