They have always elected their officers and gone on their individual ways witllout another thought of class interest. But this semester such a stir of class spirit has gone through the school as we have not seen since the advisory sys- tem of registration was established. Every class has held meet- ings for purposes other than election of officers, and every class seems full of energy of the right sort. The boys have started the precedent of having class capsg hence the caps of many colors which are worn with much pride and class enthusiasm. The girls have done remarkably wellg already the High Freshman have bought rings, and the others have planned and carried through numerous sales for the benefit of the A. S. A. H. S. Then, consider that old instiution-the Junior dance-for four years it has been omitted from class activities, simply because no High Junior class could muster the requisite enthusi- asm and cash. The Low Juniors have taken it to themselves this term in order to boost the campaign for a moving picture machine. We think this is better than the old custom and sets a more worthy precedent. In mentioning this class we must not forget the famous Gflunior pin." So the seemingly defunct class spirit has been re-incarnated and is thriving. May it live long and happily! PAGE TWELVE The Loan Fund Many people do not know that the Star and Key Society maintains a Loan Fund as a financial aid to students in the High School, or to graduates who wish to attend the University of California. This Loan Fund was inaugurated two years ago when a concert was given under the direction of the Music- Dramatic Assembly of Alamedag many talented and professional people of the bay region contributing. The money obtained from the concert, amounting to about two hundred dollars, was placed in charge of Dr. Thompson and four prominent men of the city to act as trustees. Any worthy student may borrow from this fund, paying no interest and only Dr. Thompson knowing the name of the person to whom the money is loaned. This term an entertainment was given at Washington School, and approximately seventy five dollars was added to the orig- inal sum, nearly all of which is in use at the present time. The High School feels sure that many of the people in this city, when they realize the importance of this fund, may care to contribute money, and will gladly support any future enter- tainments given for this purpose. No scholarships are offered in the Freshman year at college, which is, perhaps, the most difti- cult year for the studentg so that, in many cases, the Loan Fund is the only financial aid obtainable by Alameda graduates. Furthermore, it is purely a business proposition, depending entirely upon the honor of the borrower. The Loan Fund is one of the really worth-while and perma- nent things that the High School and the Star and Key have undertaken. Fremont High School maintains the sum of two thousand dollars for the same purpose, and since our own school is increasing in numbers, and more students are depending upon this to defray college expenses, why can not we raise a similar amount? Surely such a matter is of great importance and worthy of everyone's attention. JJ' Vocational Guidance During this semester more than usual has been accomplished along the line of vocational guidance. This is due in large part to the untiring efforts of Miss Garretson who for several years has been deeply interested in this subject. Owing to the present arrangement of the program it has been difficult to introduce vocational guidance into the curriculum. However, a start has been made, and regular classes are being held. In the class period a wide range of possible vocations are discussed, the students being required to deliver short speeches on the occupation they desire to follow at the end of their school life. In the boys' class such fields as: Agriculture, min- ing, civil engineering, railroading, etc., are thoroughly gone over, so that at the end of the course the student should be able to decide wisely in what direction his particular powers tend. The girls also are finding their class of great benefit and assist- ance, as the vocations open to women are much more numerous than in the past and only in this way can they study, and get accurate knowledge of their special abilities in this larger field. Girls who are intending to become teachers, especially those planning to attend Normal School, meet on certain days with Mr. Agard, Head of the English Department. The object is: to see whether teaching is their proper sphere and, if so, to plan their High School course to that end: and also to discuss teaching in all its intricacies. Many lecturers have spoken to us on Vocational Guidance, among these we seem to have been impressed most by Harris Weinstock, who spoke in the High School in 1913. His subject was "Choosing a Profession or The Ethics of Business." He pointed out that much depends on determining the capabilities of a young man and allowing him to follow a single road to a given end. Any young man, he stated, who maps out his career and follows the course with zeal, must necessarily succeed. Will C. Wood, Commissioner of Secondary Education is strongly in favor of more attention to this subject. He says: "The matter of Vocational Guidance is certain to require more attention from school authorities than has hitherto been given it. The High School curriculum has been broadened until it reaches a variety of vocational subjects as well as the tradi- tional academic branches. The life-calling of a boy or girl must not be attempted on the basis of a fifteen minute inter- view on enrollment day. Someone should make a scientific study of the vocational needs and capabilities of each student, and the student's course should be shaped in the light of this." This scientific attitude is what we urge, fellow students. PAGE THIRTEEN We think you should aid and encourage all efforts in this direc- tion both for your own good and that of those who may follow you. Those who have entered into the Vocational Guidance course, as we now have it, with the proper attitude and spirit, have been greatly benefitted, and are quite enthusiastic about its continuance. Perhaps, if we show sufficient interest and appreciation, a place will be made for this course in the regular school program. JF' I Motion Picture Machine The students of the High School have shown a real school spirit in supporting the various activities undertaken for the purpose of acquiring a motion picture machine. The Monsen lectures, the Glee Club Concert, the Junior Prom, and the money given by the Senior girls and the diH'erent classes have made it possible for the committee in charge to purchase the machine at an early date. Many different kinds of pictures will be shown, some scien- tific and others historical and literary, as for example, dramati- zations of books or reproductions of famous plays. Attempts will be made to secure pictures that will interest or have a di- rect bearing on every department in the school. For the most PAGE FOURTEEN part, except in the case of the more expensive films, these pic- tures will be free to the students. The motion picture, because of its great educational value, is becoming more and more important. It is a well-established fact that ninety per cent of the people are visual-mindedg that is, they obtain most of their knowledge through the sense of sight. For this reason, the modern school employs charts, pic- tures, field and industrial excursions in instructing the pupils. Moreover, it is realized that possibilities in visual instruction will not be fully realized until the motion picture becomes a part of the equipment of every school. We are proud to think that the Alameda High School, through the successful efforts of one term's work is now able to purchase one. dl' In Conclusion The Editorial staff of the December, '16 ACORN rejoices that its work is at an end, and that the book is now in press. We have attempted to present in this edition, as in other issues, some of the lighter interests in school, and at the same time to give an insight into the truer and deeper life in the Alameda High School. If this book gives evidence of good feeling and comradeship existing in our school, our work and hopes are accomplished and fulfilled.

For Silver Spurs and ,lim Bently were seldom seen apart. They had come to the Lazy S together, and no man knew their past, nor did any one ask. Their present was enough, that was good. Silver Spurs nickered softly as his master opened the corral gate, and came across the open to meet him. These two under- stood each other, without the rope and the language other men used. ,lim tucked a stray lock under the brow band of his bridle, and led the sorrel to the barn where his saddle hung. The equipment of his pet was his only pride, and his saddle was heavy carved Mexican leather, the pommel and cantle orna- mented with beaten silver. No joshing could make him change his gear, so the saddle was accepted as part of the day's work. "Hey, ,lim,', yelled Charlie Lane, as the puncher reached for the saddle, "don't make the cows jealous of your beauty!" Hl,m hoping they'll eat out of 111y hand," replied Jim, mildly. "Seems to me they must be getting envious of you: you never PAGE SIXTEEN start after them any more. How comes it you're all spruced up? Boss sending you in for the lllZlll?,, Lane retired, in solne confusion, but Matt Treliiord took up tl1e conversation. '6Has your lamb had his nails manicured yet?" he drawled. 'fseems to me l saw the file over there in the shop. Better get busy, Jim, wouldnit do for him to fall into bad habits. Hey, boys, l hear ,lim's trainin' the lamb to drink with him: he gets lonely at the bar without him." half you,d teach ,liggles to drink with you, maybe you'd stop having tll0SC lonely fits after you come out from town,', retorted Jim, swinging to the saddle. The laugh was on Matt, and the sorrel vanished in a swirl of dust, and a rapid fire of pointed remarks. uHe's a quick-witted fellow," laughed Charlie, as he and Matt rode out of the gate on their way to town a few minutes later, "if I caught ,lim Bently napping, l'd sure bragg about it for a good while." uHe don't say much," agreed Matt, 'abut what he does say gets there. Let's frame a party for ,lim when he gets in to-night." '6Wait till he won't be lookin' for it," advised Charlie. Mmake it a story on Silver Spurs. That'll get him quicker than any- thing else. Wllat have you?" "Say, did you ever hear the yarn old man Kingsly used to spin about his animal? He had it tllat he was ridin' through timber one day, and he come to a place where a tree was down across the trail. Couldn't see any way to get round, and was just figurin' the best way to cut it, when he felt a jar, and he was on the other side." M.lumped?', queried Charlie. "No,-said the horse got down on its knees and crawled under." Meanwhile Jim was riding herd silently. The hill can be very still on a hot, summer afternoon, when the wind is dead, and the white clouds hang in the sky like becalmed, white-sailed boats. The brown grass was crisp under foot, and the weary cattle sniffed disgustedly at it. Silver Spurs kept his matcllless gait unbroken, answering the slightest signal, now and again tossing his head to attract the attention of his strangely quiet master "Silver," said the man suddenly, ado you want to 0 back?,' Silver, being well trained, and divining the tone in Tiis rider's voice, shook his head restlessly from side to side. "You don't? Then we'll stay here, until they come after us, boy! Damned if I'll take you back there to save my honor. No, we're all right here, and here we stick." One by one the slow weeks slid by. Now the monotonous heat would be broken by a dry, cold, north wind, that came from nowhere, and returned there, while tempers of men and horses were strained to the breaking point. Now heavy clouds would slide up from the southwest, and rain would hover overhead, heavy rain, that never came. But always there was work to be done, and always Jim Bently and Silver Spurs were ready to do it. Fall turned to winter, and the first rains came at last, bringing promise of snow and storm to come. The Lazy S stored its barn with grain for the horses, and men rode to town less often, because of the mud. And still the work was to be done, and the man and horse were there to do it. '4jin1,'i said Babe Drayton, coming into the bunkhouse where Jim was playing solitaire, with a longer pause between plays than the science of the game demanded. "J im, boss says you're to take your lamb, and go over to the north pasture, and tell Simmonds not to do anything more in that horse deal with Bradly until he hears direct. Bet you can't get over there and back with your darling in two hours." "Take you up on that," replied Jim sweeping the cards together. "What'll you make it?" Oh, five, and the drinks. Pm broke." "Better have your old stand-by ready to count the minutes. If I went by your relic of time, lid take all the afternoon, and it'd only be ten minutes." Babe flushed at the thrust, and muttered something about pre-historic animals. L'Say, Babe, tell me the trouble. Honest now, was it Noah got water in the works of your clock, or Mrs. Noah?" Without waiting for his answer, ,lim stepped out into the cold wind, struggling into his coat as he went. Low clouds were banked on the eastern horizon line, and more were piling up from the west. Silver Spurs snorted as he was headed into the open, sensing snow in the chill wind. "Two hours,', muttered Jim. uwhy we should do it in half that time without trying. Pm ashamed to take Babels money: that kid bets so easy. Come on, youg you've got a rep to keep." Simmonds, the foreman, was found without trouble at the north pasture. and made no comment on the order. 4'Tell the boss his gray mare strayed off in that last rain, and slid into a hole. He'd better see Hanly about gettin' her sister if he wants a gray trotter bad. Looks like snow. So long." MSO long." ,lim urged Silver Spurs up the short rise from the corral, and disappeared over the top of a nearby hill. Not at all winded by his outward trip, Silver Spurs covered the returning miles with time to spare, and brought his master to the ranch-house almost half an hour earlier than anyone PAGE SEVENTEEN expected him. ,lim swung off, laughing to think of Drayton's disgust, and strode in to report to the boss, but the sound of voices raised in heated argument stopped him before he reached the inner room. ul know he's a good manf' said a voice he knew only too well, Hand I sure hate to do it, Peters, but l've got my orders to accept no excuse, but to bring him back with the horse. They want him had over where l come from. The horse was to have gone to a fellow, to clinch some deal, and the deal's off until they bring the pair of them back. You know the man. You sold him a horse once, but not twicef, 'LYes, I know. You say Bently took the horse to keep him from being sold to that brute?,' 4'So they told me. lt seems Bently had broken the horse, and ridden him ever since. He was saving up money to buy Silver Spurs, when this deal was arranged, and when he heard the horse was to be given to Creelton, he took French leave one night. The boys are all for him, and about said they'd pleased to see me coming back alone, but l've got my orders from higher up, 'alive or deadl'-and llm up against it, Peters.'7 "l see. Well, Bently's gone oil' for me. He'll be back soon with the horse. lt's up to you." '4That's it.', The sheriH"s voice sounded a bit mournful. HA good man gone for a crooked deal." l Bently turned noiselessly, but with his first step his spur caught in the fringe of a rug, and he all but fell headlong. Peters sprang up, and jerked aside the curtain that hid the door. Bently, cornered, faced them squarely. '6Yes," he said, slowly. 'fl heard! So they want me to send Silver Spurs back to Creelton? Well, l'll see them where they belong, first." "Sorry, Jim, but I've got my orders," the sheriff cut in. "Forget them!" advised Bently. "You can have Silver when you get him." PAGE EIGHTE EN In a flash his gun was out, covering the sheriff. In three steps he reached the open, and was racing for Silver Spurs. With an oath, the sheriff drew his gun and fired. Bently lurched in the saddle, but recovered himself, and was gone before the sheriff could pull the trigger again. Silver Spurs galloped slower and slower, until he fell grad- ually into a walk. He pricked his ears, waiting some sign from his master, but received no word. Suddenly his rider slipped from the saddle and fell heavily. The horse turned back, and touched the still figure with his nose, gently. Bently, roused from his stupor by the familiar touch, raised himself on one elbow with an effort, and dragged himself upright by the aid of the stirrup. Slowly and with a painful effort he undid the latigo strap, and pulled the cinch loose. The bridle followed the saddle to the ground, and Silver Spurs stood free of the marks of his servitude. "Go on, Silver," whispered the man, "Goodby! Perhaps-" He dropped face downward in the trail, and lay very still. Silver Spurs whinnied softly and nozzled his master caress- ingly. The storm clouds had swept lower, menacing, ominous. A gust of wind brought the first flakes of snow. The horse stamped uneasily, knowing that he must drift with the wind to live out the storm. He took a few steps, but his master made no move to follow. The white Hakes were falling faster nowg the quiet body was half covered. Silver Spurs turned back, and again sniffed his master. Then, as though heeding a command, he moved to windward of the prostrate man, and stood with his head bowed and his long mane sweeping the ground. The swiftly falling snow dropped about the two like the final curtain of eternity, and the dark slipped down, hiding the hills. JANET BROWN, '18. c Q 0 ' Q- -0 EN' S DRAMATIS PERSUNZE.

U UU say their gold has been stolen from them?" with Mariquita in the mission garden whenever she wanted to HYes, my daughter. not only their pesos. but many head of cattle, too. I heard it from El Senor Con- zales, who met a stranger in from the mountains." "But tell me more, my father." "Ah, but that is all I know, ninita. It is perhaps all rumor, this talk of Senor Gonzales. He merely met a stranger who had heard a rulnor. And yet there is some talk of Don Pico. Quien sabe?" ' It was the good padre speaking. It was his custom to walk come, which was often, for she and the new padre were the best of friends. '4And now, my little one," said the old man, smiling, "you must go presently, for the sun is fast fading, and La Favorita must rest before the ball tonight." As she walked from the garden, Mariquita, La Favorita of Monterey, wondered what crime had been committed in the mountains. Yes, it was Don Pico who had stolen the herds and the money. Don Pico alone? Perhaps not. But then there PAGE TWENTY-ONE were other outlaws in the mountains who never did respect the flag of the Americano in California. Well she remembered the time not twelve months ago when pearls worth a king's ransom, stolen from the Mission altar, were found in possession of Don Pico. She wondered just how bad this outlaw was. She knew he had lived for years in the mountains away from every one. They said he was handsome. She even wished sl1e might meet him. How exciting! Oh, well, she would not worry. It was not her gold nor her people's cattle. She would dance and flirt as much as she pleased and all the men would flock around her. The people of Monterey danced every night, and at the fash- ionable hour of ten all were gathered for the dance. All the men wore black velvet coats and white trousers. Most of the women wore bright colors, the waists long and pointed and the skirts full. Mariquita wore white satin, and looked very beau- tiful indeed with her long black hair braided close to her neck. As usual she was surrounded by twenty caballeros, all pleading for dances, each striving for a little more attention than his neighbor. The sala was brilliantly lighted, and presented a very gay scene indeed. The coffe-colored duenas were seated around the wall and never relaxed their vigilant watching of their pretty charges. Indeed, their eagle eyes took in every lIl0VClTlCIlt to see that the couples did not step beyond the out- side corridor to wander alnong the trees. A man appeared in the doorway. A second later and every eye was upon him. Ah, who is the good looking stranger? But none seemed to know He was indeed handsome, his face lacked that languid, am- bitionless expression so characteristic of the Californian. Mari- quita lost no time. uBring him to me," she ordered her nearest admirer. A lnoment later and he was bowing low before her. "Ah, senorita, at your feetf, It need not be said that the good- looking Senor Cabanares was fascinated with La Favorita of Monterey, and that he lost no time in literally throwing him- self at her feet. But if Mariquita was at all interested in him she soon forgot all about him, and was wholly absorbed with a PAGE TWENTY-TWO young American officer, Crandall by name. His blue eyes and fair hair had completely captivated her. Indeed she believed herself to be in love with him, and any one could see, as the senoritas put it, that he was simply mad about her. They danced the contradanza together, and indeed almost every other dance, with all eyes upon them, until the caballeros were nearly wild with jealousy, including Senor Cabanares who refused to dance at all. MAb, that Americano has worked witchcraft," they said, "until she will have none of us." As the days passed Mariquita was the center of attraction whether it was a picnic to the ocean, or a day at the races, and the American and Senor Cabanares were the favored ones, it was plain to be seen. They were rivals of not the friendliest sort, and it was a triumph for the one and a bitter disappoint- ment for the other when she chose to accept the attentions of either. But Marquita herself was having her own troubles. Her mind was waging war. Which to marry? Both of them loved her. Both were handsome. To be sure she knew more about Senor Crandall. He was an American officer, and a friend of her father's. But that only made Senor Cabanares more acceptable. There was some mystery hanging about him. No one knew anything about him. And when he gazed at her his eyes took fire. The night he had strummed a guitar be- neath her window she had almost decided to accept him. He was not like her other lovers, selfish and indolent, knowing how to do nothing but play the guitar, gamble, and make love. Sud- denly she remembered the words of her mother. uln a few years, ninita, the Americanos will have everything. If they have no money they will work for it. If we are rich now, we will be poor then. Ay, my daughter, marry the Americano that Vou may be always happy." Why not? Surely she could love him. And what did Senor Cabanares have to offer? Nothing. And so each time she thought the problem solved, she only found herself the further from it. Mariquita's father was entertaining some of his friends. They were talking excitedly. A Spanish soldier, more animated than the rest, tried to gain the floor to tell what he knew. "Yes, senor, the thieves have been found. It is very simple now that we know. The poor Don Pico that we have been hunting for, he is not to blame at all. But we have found the bandits, yes., and with the gold, too, a thousand pesos. They were coming through the mountain pass where our soldiers were hiding, and were tracked right to their hiding place, and were forced to surrender. There were many of them, all desperate wcharacters, mostly Mexicans. It is true they fought hard, but they are less by a good number than before. But now the country is rid of the blood-thirsty wild-cats and we may sleep in peace. Dios de mi alma, I forgot to say, Don Pico, he did not take the pearlsl' '6What pearls?" asked a dozen voices. "But surely you have not forgotten! Don Pico, they said he stole them not twelve months ago. Si, and ever since there has been a ban upon him, and he dare not show his face. Ah, it is l who am glad, for I know him and he is good, good,- senores. The leader of the outlaws has repented and told all. No one would believe Don Pico when he said he had not torn down the crucifix, and stolen those pearls from the Church, but found them under some leaves by the roadside. Of course you see, senores, those outlaws had hidden the pearls there and Don Pico had just by chance found them when, as fate would have it, our men came up and captured him, thinking him to be the robber. Luckily he escaped somehow, but not without a bullet in his shoulder. You see, senores, that is why he has been 'liar a living in the mountains ever sinceg before that no one knows. But I would know him, I have seen him once." ' The stars were shining their brightest. Ont from the shadow of a tree stepped Senor Cabanares. His face was haggard and from his spurs and latigo it could be seen that he was ready for flight. He was watching for some one. Presently that some one emerged from a lighted doorway, and could the watcher have known that Mariquita was coming out with her final de- cision he would have started forward instead of hesitating. To be sure he had been waiting for that decision for a long time, but Marlquita knew her own mind now, and was coming to tell him so. Suddenly voices were heard bidding adios to their host. A figure rounded the outer corridor, and unexpectedly came face to face with Senor Cabanares who had come forward. For a moment they faced each other. "Don Pico!" a harsh voice cried. Before anything more could be said Mariquita, standing in a shadow as if stunned, burst forth: 'gSenor! Senor! Is it true that you are Don Pico? Dios mio! But it can make no difference. It is the same. I will love you always. If you say, l will fly with you to the hillsg but make haste. They will . . ." But this passionate outburst was checked by the hearty laugh of the Spanish soldier as Don Pico returned the firm handelasp of lVlariquita's father. MARION FARRINGTON, '16 0 .

We had been out from San Fran- cisco for twenty-eight days and, with the exception of seven hours at Honolulu, had not been on land in that time. Now we were to have twelve days ashore, and were anxious to make the most of our oppor- tumty. We had already noticed Corregidor, the Gibraltar of the Pacific, standing proudly and defiantly at the entrance to the harbor. Cavite, also had come into view, the historic spot where Dewey caused the downfall of Spanish sea power. At last we were in Manila, the Capitol of the Philippine Islands, and the busiest seaport ill the Far East. As the ship was to be our home, we did not have to hunt a hotel, although there are some excellent ones in Manila. Upon going ashore, we rode for our first time in a carameta or native "jitney" bus. This is a little, two wheeled cart drawn by small Australian ponies. Three or four electric lines run to the suburbs, but we could make better time walking than riding in these. Carabaos do the heavy hauling. These cumbersome beasts are very slow but exceedingly strong, and one of their peculiar- PAGE TWENTY-FOUR 'ar- 1? 1 K 1 ff-,I ities is that they go lllilfl if not subjected to at least three batlls a day. Every day we saw lines of these beasts having a hose turned on them. Cascos are the chief means of water transportation. These boats are long, narrow and of small draft. A family lives in each end, and on the roof is always seen the pet rooster. The space between the houses is for freight, and owners make their living by renting their cascos to be towed around. The lntramuros is a place of unusual interest. ln it we obtained a splendid idea of the life of the old Spaniards. We saw the narrow, dirty streets, the balconies extending over them, the iron grating over the windows, the stone houses, and the encircling wall. This wall averages twenty-five feet in thick- ness, and has withstood three separate bonlhardments. Many of the cannons still surmount the wall. One section of the wall is now used as an aquarium, here we got a splendid view of the wall's construction. The stones are about two feet square and one foot thick. The Luneta is a resort for the people of the entire city. This large grassy space surrounds a bandstand in which the Philippine Constabulary Band gives concerts twice each week. Here we saw many bright colored clothes worn by many races, among them being: Americans, Filipinos, Spaniards, Chinese, Japanese and Hindus. They say that there are as many Chinese in Manila as there as Filipinos. I don't doubt it a bit because all the big stores are owned by Chinamen, all the gamblers at the cockpits are Chinese, and about half the criminals are of the same race. The main business street of modern Manila is called Escolta. This is about five hundred yards long, each end terminating in a plaza. These plazas each connect with the lntramuros by a bridge across the Pasig River. The arrangement of the Post Ofhce was, to us, novelg all the mail boxes, stamp windows, letter slips and writing desks are on the outside. Only Post Office officials are inside the building. Across the street are the Botanical Gardens. This beautiful park contains many samples of Philippine plants, besides a small zoo, an aviary, and an apiary. The Y. M. C. A. is the mecca for the young men. Both Filipino and American Y's are well attended. This is the only cool place in town, the water in the tank being down to about seventy-eight degrees. The outskirts of Manila consist of long rows of thatched huts raised about four feet from the ground on poles. The sides of these houses are so arranged that they can be raised and lowered like big awnings. The outskirts consist of the suburbs of Ermita, Pasay, San Miguel, Santa Ana and a few others. The Cock-Pit was the most novel place we visited. A large market extends in front of the pit itself, and all sorts of pro- duce are scattered on the ground. The buyers walk around in this heap, haggling loudly for bargains, and create a general din. We thought when we got to the pit we could be relieved of the din and enjoy ourselves. Here, to our dismay, it was even worse. We, in the vortex of an immense crowd, fou 'ht for the entrances, and, once inside, could scarcely breathe. Fin- ally we got seats. Two cocks were brought in, to whose right legs cruel razor-like gaffs were fastened. When they were set loose an awful uproar of shouts arose, caused by the animated betting. Soon the cocks began to fight, jumping into the air and striking with their gaffs. At the second charge, one was killed in midair, while the other was so badly wounded that he died a moment later. We beat a hasty retreat. We next went to, or rather visited, Bilibid Prison. This is one of the best conducted prisons in the Far East. Over five thousand men and women are confined here, and taught useful trades. Many of them become so attached to the prison that they commit more offenses, on being released, in order to get back again. A great deal of wonderful furniture and many curios are made and sold at Bilibid. A thunder storm at night in Manila is a wonderful spectacle. From the zenith to the horizon a crooked path of electricity. about two feet wide, crashes. A moment later a roar that would shame a battle comes upon one, and one jumps as if he were hurt. Then a downpour of rain floods streets, gutters and gar- dens, then all three-lightning, thunder and rain-come at the same time. In about ten minutes the storm passes over, the stars come outg a half an hour later everything is dry and tran- uuil. A few distant echoes only, are heard, to remind one that there has been a storm. About two of these storms occur each night. Manila, as you see, is a most wonderful place to spend even a short vacation, because of the many strange things to be seen -a city, foreign yet American, old, yet new. W. TOYE, 'l7.

On the morrow the Fresh- man-Sophomore rugby ga111e was to be played. The Freshmen were confident in their power, and the fearful glares of their weaker superiors did not in the least hinder their boasting. The Sophomore captain and his Supreme Council of plotters were holding a post mnrtem over the already despaired of game. All but one were condemning heartily the ruling which pro- hibited varsity men from playing inter-class ball. "lfs" and "buts" in profusion were also supplied by the mourners. That one who was not verbally disposing of all hopes, was pursing his brow, holding his head, and going through all the prescribed motions of one trying to work out a serious problem. "Lot of help you're giving us, Fat," said one of the councilors. 'gHuh," grunted the solver of weighty problems, uyou aren't helpin'. You're only killin' the only hopes you had left. l'm tryin' to thinkf' "Oh look fellows," was the retort in preturbed awe, uFat,s thinking. l didn't know it was possiblef, 6Huh,', once more grunted Fat, again resuming the pose of Rodin's '6Thinker.', He finally interrupted the solelnn group with the cry, alive got it," and, sublimely unnoticing the taunts of the 111ock PAGE TWENTY-SIX coroner's jury, he beckoned to the captain. That worthy left the group, and approached the beaming, weighty solver of weighty matters with a querulous look upon his face. The coun- cilor whispered very energetically into his Captain's ear, and after a very few moments the querulous look was replaced by a smile. As the confab continued this finally broke into a snicker, then a hearty laugh. Witli a knowing wink Captain patted Fat on the back and solemnly declared the meeting adjourned.

Although the sun rose as usual, school took up in the same manner, and lessons went on per schedule, still the sophomores knew that tomorrow had arrived. Each Sophomore dolefully watched the minutes Hit mournfully by- condemned men with no hope of pardon to come before the time set for execution. Each Freshman gleefully chuckled as the minutes slowly were passed by the solemn hands of the clock. I -l- T11 'R I- it R 41- R' it 'R' ll' Before the game the Sophs solemnly filed in funereal order from the dressing-rooms, keeping their eyes averted, that they might not have to gaze upon the prophesied victors until necessary. The game was called. The referee, a Senior, gave the usual preliminary instructions. "Remember fellows, this is a gentleman's game." "Oh my, yes!" "Nothing rough now!" "Oh dear, no! "All ready?,' G5Yep!9, The whistle blew and the Freshmen kicked-off, the ball go- ing high, the forwards rushed down the field just in time to spill the fullback as he received the ball. When they had retrieved the ball, being on the defensive, the Sophs knocked to touch. Wllell the ball had been thrown in, the Freshmen gained all they had lost, by a nassing rush. The captain of the Sophs foresaw the massacre which was about to take place, so he called Fat to one side, and whispered to him for a moment. Smiling, Fat returned to his place, the ball was put into play. The next time the ball was outside, Fat received the ball, and immediately fell on it. As the players gathered around him a terrific explosion was heard. '4Fat's blown un!" said some one. "No, no. lt's the ball!" "Well, where is the ball?" As Fat slowly arose, the ball was no place to be seeng sud- denly a mingled shout of joy and wrath went up from the grand-stand. A war whoop was heard from the Freshman goal- posts. lmmediately every one turned in the direction of the call, only to see the Captain leisurely extracting the flattened ball from his sweater to touch it down and score a try. "Body Snatchers!" 6'Robbers Y" 99 66Tr 179 y . "No score li' "Great head workli' .. The crowd surged around the referee, pulling and pushing now one way and now another, making various demands. "Let the play go on!" 5'Yes," said the referee, ulet the play go on." 55 79 No 7 'flusticel ' uDead ball!" "No score! The referee at last freeing one arm, threw it into the air, crying, "Wait a minute. What have each of the Captains got to say?,' The Captain of the Sophs stated his case thus: HI have three reasons for believing the thing was legitimate: first, there's noth- ing against itg second, it was proper, and third, they would have done the same thing." 4'Your arguments are very good," solemnly stated the referee. The Captain of the Freshmen was satisfied with claiming that a dead ball was a dead ball, and demanded justice. The referee retired gracefully to read the rule book. The crowd soon became impatient, and swayed over towards the dressing-rooms. Not until called many times did the referee finally show his face at one of the windows. Immediately many cries arose. "J ustice l" "No try, etc." The referee held up his hand for silence. '6Boys," he said, MI have decided-" Once more the cries arose. Finally silence being secured, he continued, "I have decided to-resign," whereupon he ducked his head from the window and refused to answer any further calls. PAUL ST.

Of course, we were looked upon with scorn and declared the greenest of Freshmen classes, in spite of the fact that we considered ourselves quite important and were much interested in organizing our class. We lost no time in showing our spirit by having our first class meeting, and elect- ing the following ofiicers: President, Fred Terry, Vice-Presi- dent, Helen Sanford, Secretary, Virginia Younger, Class Editor, Bruce Dillman, Class Representatives, Ruth Heidt and Philip Holden. As Low Sophs our green days were over, and our reputations secure, we could therefore devote our entire time to the im- provement of our minds. Our officers for this term were: Foster Miles, President, Ruth Howe, Vice-President, Leland Hauch, Secretary, Russell Medcraft, Class Editor, and William Vaughan and Helen Sanford, Class Representatives. Our High Sophomore Class met and organized in the fol- lowing manner: President, William Vaughan, Vice-President, Edith Corde, Secretary, Russell Medcraft, Class Editor, Eleanor Sharpstein. In our Low Junior term it was our duty to select pins. We decided to change the style from that of the acorn design usually accepted, and chose one which we believed to be the finest so far produced. Again we elected officers. These were: President, Russell Medcraft, Vice-President, Virginia Younger, Secretary, Russell Moulthrop, Class Editor, Albert Gilliland, Class Representatives, Helen Sanford and William Vaughan. The term slipped by and we found ourselves High Juniors. We decided not to give a dance, but to save our energy for our Senior term when our activities would really commence. Our class officers were: Albert Gilliland, President, Alma Halcrow, Vice-President, Rudolph Buben, Secretary, Virginia Younger and Russell Medcraft, Class Representatives. At last, in January, 1916, the class reached the dignified and exalted position of Seniors, and we entered upon our hap- piest and busiest year. Immediately we elected officers. These were: President, Rudolph Buben, Vice-President, Edith Corde: Secretary, Norman Eckley, Treasurer, Marion Farrington, Class Representatives, William Cathcart and Phoebe Winslow. As usual, the girls of the class welcomed the Freshmen girls at the Adelphian Hall. The program included an entertaining skit entitled, "An Afternoon with the Dippidome Theatrical Agency," which was greatly enjoyed by everyone. On February 11, we produced John Barrie's play, "Quality Street," the pro- duction being coached by Mr. Fred Carlyle and managed by William Vaughan so successfully that the class was able to clear 3200. Our class is indeed a record breaker, this being the greatest sum made up to that time at the Adelphian Hall for a Senior production. Of the proceeds of the Senior play we, early this term, gave the school 3100 to help purchase a moving picture machine. Following the graduation exercises the class gave an informal dance and supper to the graduates at the home of Miss Elsie Bishop. On .luly 31 we became High Seniors with land sighted and our ship sailing straight for the harbor. Our officers were: William Cathcart, President, Mignon Henrici, Vice-President, Frank Young, Secretary, Rudolph Altona, Treasurer, Marion Farrington, Class Editor. The class is now planning the details of graduation and the Senior dance which we are looking for- ward to with great anticipation, although we regret leaving behind days which will become pleasant memories of work made lighter by happy associations.

CHILDHOOD ROMANCE CUL- MINATES IN MARRIAGE. News has come to us from across the seas of the elopement of Miss Marjorie Boyce, a Hungfajry social service worker and a for- eign missionary in Greece. This has come as a great surprise to her friends at home, who have just learned of her latest escapade. PAGE FORTY-FOUR EXPERT SWIMMER NARROW- LY ESCAPES DROWNING. Early yesterday morning the winner of numerous Turkish Tro- phies, Alice Moran, Alameda's fa- mous deep-sea diver, who has late- ly won international recognition in aquatic circles, and who has, up to this time, been mistress of the sea, was almost conquered by the water. Her life was in peril while she was practicing some new Hungarian strokes in the bathtub. The World is indeed fortunate to have retained the life of one of its prodigies.

Palm Beach, June 9.-The smart set has adopted the latest fashion set by Mr. Vaughan. He was seen this morning on the board-walk, wearing a classy chin- chilla fur bow-tie. By noon a ma- jority of the ultra-elite had taken up the fad, which really started when this social pet introduced, for evening wear, fur cuffs to match his ermine tie. Mr. Vaughan has brought absolutely the last word from London, and has not, made such a sensation since the races this season, on which occasion he appeared in beaded spats. i..l0i PUGILIST NOW LIFE SAVER.

We feel that the school is in dire need of, and could profit greatly by, a parking station lo- cated in the basementg the bicycle racks to be used for the Fords. The owners of the cars would pay monthly dues, in return for which their machines would be over- hauled and scrubbed daily by the Associated Student Secretary, who would utilize his study periods and recess in this manner. Gasoline made on the premises by the chem- istry class would be sold at a nominal price. The money col- lected would, of course, be turned over to the A. S. A. H. S. treas- ary.

Evans Appreciation HE Administration takes this opportunity to extend its appreciation for the loyal support rendered by the faculty and the students this semester. From the standpoint of activities it may well be said that this semester has been a most successful one. The students have rallied to the cause of the Motion Picture Machine Fund by supporting the University of California Glee Club Concert and the Monsen Lectures. Several classes also have made contributions to the same fund, thus showing that the proper spirit is not lacking. The Senior Play was a great suc- cess, all records for attendance being broken. The Junior Class revived the old custom of giving a dance, but this semester admission was charged, and the proceeds devoted to the Motion Picture Fund. The Oak Leaf has become an established school activity, and has not only financed itself this semester, but has paid a deficit left from last term's issue, thus proving the popularity of the publication. The concert given under auspices of the Star and Key was a delightful entertainment, and the money has been turned over to a noble causeg namely, the Star and Key Loan Fund. The expenses of Athletics have been heavy, as the football team had to be supported. All students not having A. S. A. H. S. cards were required to pay admission to the league games. This system has helped the school financially, and it is hoped that the same may continue next semester. At the pres- ent time it is difficult to state just how much the present admin- istration will leave in the treasury, but we sincerely hope that this term may end as successfully as the preceding one.

The warm welcome did a great deal to make the new class feel that it was in reality part of the High School life. PAGE FIFT Y-EIGHT Editor ................... . .,........ ....,...., L ouise B.

John McKean The Freshmen are full of enthusiasm, and aim to do their share in whatever they can, for the school in general and for their class in particular. They are planning a candy sale to take place in the near future, the proceeds to be used to help purchase a moving picture machine for the school. The en- thusiasm thus far shown makes it apparent that our future undertakings will prove more than successful. THE IME and results show! Since its organization, April 22, 1914-, the City Schools' Savings System has grown by leaps and bounds. The deposits now total over seven thousand dollars, while the number of open accounts has increased to over two thousand. Once again Alameda has started something! Schools from all parts of California have inquired into the A. H. S. system, and have adopted its methods with good re- sults. From year to year we have improved our system until now it is practically flawless. During the summer vacation. Mr. Evans, the manager of the savings department, conferred with the state bank inspectors, and the changes which were recom- mended by them have been adopted. Each depositor now has three duplicates of his or her account: one at the school in which the deposit is made, another at the high school branch, and another at the bank proper. The banking laws which make us a branch of the Alameda and Citizens Savings Banks also hold these banks liable for every cent deposited through the Savings System. Both the manager and cashier of the City Schools Savings System are required to go under bond. The system in which our books are checked against each other renders it al- most impossible to make an error. Each student of banking has certain duties to perform, and at the end of the day the postings are checked and audited. B The grammar schools have taken an increased interest in bringing up the total deposit of their respective schools. It has been gratifying to the officers of the bank to see so many new accounts opened and enlarged, as it shows that the bank is ac- complishing its purpose, and is making it worth while for the students. An account opened in grammar school, and increased through the school career., becomes an appreciated deposit later on. It has been due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Evans, when various problems arose, that the bank is still in operation., and he certainly deserves the enthusiastic and generous support of the entire student body for the department which he organized. The boys have also advanced many new ideas which are now bc- ing used with excellent results. Donit be a knockerg boost the "lVIade at A. H. S. productf, The banking force which assisted Mr. Evans, and gave their conscientious support to the bank this term consists of Rudolph Altona, cashierg Roy Stulz, assistant cashier: Foster Miles, Willianl Wahmutll, Alice Moran, Louise Croll. and Harold Almond, bookkeepers, Pettes St. Sure and Leslie Mclver, filing clerks. Much credit is also due the grammar school force which has taken great interest and pride in the weekly deposits of their respective schools.

At this time the 'ifeedsn were for Oakland Schools onlyg but in 1913, owing to the fact that we did not have any Y. M. C. A. in our city, it was decided to let Alameda High take part in the ufeastsf, Last year three hundred different fellows attended over one-third of the ses- sions. During this year three tons of beans were devoured by the High Schools, along with an ample amount of slaw., buns, doughnuts, cake and chocolate. The purpose of these "feeds" is to have the students meet together in their discussion rooms. Here, after a hearty sup- per, problems which every High School fellow meets with are discussed. The Alameda group is under the supervision of Mr. Caldwell. The students are favored now and then with addresses by different teachers. Among some of the best were those by Doctor Thompson, Mr. Smith, Mr. Coan, and the talk on will-power by Mr. Carpen- ter. After the discussion groups, the boys enjoy the privileges of the swimming tank, the pool room, the bowling alleys and the boys' game room. The oiiicers for the Senior and Junior group are as follows: President, Rudolph Bubeng Secretary, Will Gill, Yell Leader, William Vaughan, Advertising Committee, Leslie Mclver and Robert Lamborn. The oflicials for the uSophs" and 6'Freshies" are as follows: President, Richard Schliewienskyg Vice-presi- dent, Frances Gravesg Yell Leader, ,I ack Moran. I . , Y , W ,A , The Cirlsi Glee Club HE Girls' Glce Club resumed practice rather late in the term, because of the delayed return of their leader, Miss McDermott. Despite this fact, they are very en- thusiastic: and have been attending regular practice. New members have been added, selected from Miss lVlcDermott's choral class. They are: Bonita Hunt, Maybelle WOTlllEll, Gladys Petry, and Claudine Brandt. The future plans of the club have not been made public yet, but as usual the girls will participate in several programs. Miss McDermott has obtained sevcral carefully choscn songs. which the members hope to present on these various occasions. 'l'hc club has been organized long enough now to havc cstablishccl a reputation, which its members are earnestly cnclcavoring to maintain. Competition with the newly organized Boys' Glcc Club is another incentive for the girls. Under their leader's judicious guidance the girls hope to advance considerably in ability and accomplishment. PAGE SIXTY-ONE MILITARY Ollieers of the A. H. S. Cadets N. Eckley D. Osborn M. McKimmins HE plan of having cadets at Alameda High School was first introduced in 1914, and under the direction and command of John Ganser, two companies were formed in that year. Witll the assistance of Leland Sweeney the rudiments of disciplinary drill were taught, but since no arms could he obtained, tl1e cadets soon lost interest. As a result, the organization of cadets at Alameda High School was disbanded. PAGE SIXTY-TWO C. Youngberg M. Loring F. Miles G. Nordlund F. Terry In January, 1915, the cadets were re-organized, and Harold Kahn was elected captain. lnstead of the one company, two companies turned out. so that it was necessary to have a major. Foster Miles successfully passed the examination for major, and has since held that position very ably. This term we hope, with the aid of the Citizens' Club, to have new rifles, uniforms which will be the property of the Q. M. Department, first-aid and heliograpll equipment. Further- - - f ,.

Militar Compan more. plans are being lllilfle so that two full days each term may be devoted entirely to military, and this will certainly be a great help toward creating interest in the cadets. In the early part of this term, due to the poor arrangement of the drill periods. many found it very difficult and almost impossible to turn out. Now. since this has been changed, there is no reason why every boy in the school should not take part in military. or. at least. give the cadets the support they need. Now. here is something which, without a doubt, very few fellows have ever considered. Did you, personally, ever stop to think of the great benefits to be derived from a military training? Did you ever think how training of this sort would make you respond quickly and accurately to a command. how it would give you mental as well as physical training, how it would promote self-reliance. bring about a more perfect co- ordination betwcen mind and body, and give you a good start in the knowledge of military tactics? Very likely you have never considered any of the above points: however. if you have considered them, and aren't convinced, turn out with the cadets and you will be convinced. PAGE SIXTY-THREE The Star and Key Society HE Star and Key Society, with an even larger enroll- ment than last term, has planned and accomplished many things under its capable and enthusiastic presi- dent, Reginald Vaughan. The meetings have been well attended, and all members have done their best to make this term one of the best ever known by the society. During this term, new pins for the society were procured, though they retain their original design, they are of a much better and clearer cut and are considerably improved in appear- ance. They are of solid gold in place of the plated gold used previously, and instead of the green stone there is now a pearl. Those who have purchased the new pins are very much pleased with them. The loan fund of the society, for the purpose of lending money to the graduates of Alameda High School who desire to enter college, has taken on a new interest, and the pupils of the entire school are doing all they can toward increasing it. A splendid entertainment, arranged by Russell Medcraft, was given at Washington School during the early weeks of the term. The proceeds, about sixty dollars, will be added to the loan fund. PAGE SIXTY-FOUR During this term, the membership of the society has attained a very high standard. Let's all work to keep it up and make it even higher next term! The permanent melnbers of the Star and Key are as follows: Harold Almond Esther Anderson Helen Anderson Gray Boyce Janet Brown Augusta Buben Ruth Carr Bernice Christopher Lewis Clark Elizabeth Cockcroft Edith Corde Dorothy Deardorff Dora Duveneck Norman Eckley Felice Elliot Marion Farrington Adeline Getz Helen Goldthwaite Bessie Goodman Virginia Grahn Edna Hansen Eugenia Hauch George Hughes Ruth Jackson Irene Jacobs Elvira Johnson Ruth Jones Alma Lauenstein Elinor Malic Mildred Maurer Herndon lVlcNutt Gilbert Mears Louise Mears Edith Meyers lngrid Moe Elizabeth Myall Edith Nickerson ,lames Pitman Norman Plummer Ruby Rodell Helen Rounds George Rose Olga Scheuermann Marjorie Stanley Doris von Schoen Robert Van Stan Reginald Vaughan Wm.

The Orchestra is 111ucl1 in rlemantl at school festivities antl programs. It contributed the entire musical program at the Senior Play, and several numbers at the Parent-Teacllcr Assoeiation's lneetinff. F' Only the best class of music is playefl. such as: the overture from Wllhe Barber of Seville," Moskowskiis 'Suite of Spanish Dancesf' anfl selections from the "lVlikaflo.', The Astronom Club HE purpose of the club is to promote interest in astron- olny among its members. and to aid them in studying that interesting subject. The meetings are held in the lecture rooln of the annex, at seven o'cloek, Thursday evenings. The activities are ably directed by Miss Hewett, who has succeeded in obtaining for the members per- mission to visit many of the places of astronomical interest near Alameda. This term, the club has gone to the University of California, where it has seen the telescopes and other instruments belong- ing to the University: and has visited one of the fifteen largest telescopes in the world, situated at Leona Heights. At the regu- lar Thursday evening meetings at the sehool, when the sky was clear. observations of the moon and planets have been taken. At the meetings, the regular business is first attended to: the remainder of the evening being devoted to observation and dis- cussion of this lnost ancient of sciences. .-K new constitution has been adopted. The officers elected in the spring for this term are as follows: President. Lily Anderson: Yice-l'residcnt, Emily lialoge: Secretary and Treasurer, Homer Kt'lllilil'1 Direc- tor, Miss Hewett. Miss Hewett has been doing fine work in connection with tht- club's study of astronomy. Her generous devotion of tilne out- side of school hours to the clubis welfare has well nicritcd the praise given her by the members. The organization has seen the need for good instruments and other equipment, and is working hard to hring in the neces- sary funds. It is hoped that the tower to be erected on Porter School will be available for observation work. But even with their limited equipment the members are enthusiastic about the work, and are learning much that will he a great help to thcnl should they study astronomy later. PAGE SIXTY-SEVEN PAGE SIXTY-EIGHT Yelling GREAT deal of enthusiasm has been shown this year in the Alameda High rooting section. uEVerybody out," was the slogan, and it certainly produced results. The girls turned out in exceedingly creditable num- bers, thus showing splendid spirit. At every preliminary game there was a good, but not large rooting section. For every league game special cars trans- ported the rooters to the field of battle, and there they vied with the other schools in noise making. Previous to every frame, there was a yell rally. Many supported these, but there rl were a great many who did not attempt to let their voices loose. A large bonfire rally was held the night before the cham ionship game with Berkeley High: on this occasion good P e speeches and novel stunts were given and the new yells practiced. ln closing, I wish to thank the Student Body of Alameda High School for the excellent support rendered me and the fine sportsmanlike attitude shown at the games. WILLIAM VAUGHAN, Yell Leader. Winifred Aydellotte Marian Schneider WINNER OF GOLD MEDAL WINNER OF SILVER MEDAL Debating EBATING ln the Alameda High School entered upon a new era of activity when, on Medal Night of last term, six members of the debating society met in contest for the Jesse Robinson Debating Med- als. These six members constituted the Medal Team which had been chosen through a series of preliminary contests in which more than twenty pupils had taken part. In debating the question of Compulsory Military Service in the United States, the members of the Medal Team were arranged as follows: Ajirmative Negative Russell Medcraft Melvin McKerricher Marion Schneider Winifred Aydelotte ,lack Moran Marshall Lovey Fitting indeed it seems, at a time when women are awaken- ing to a greater interest in civic allairs, and with the enthusi- astic support of the girls of the school in general, that the girls of the team should have carried away the honors of the even- PAGE SEVENTY ing. However, the contest was close, and Miss Aydelotte and Miss Schneider in winning the gold and silver medals respect- ively, received trophies won only through persistent and untir- ing effort. Through the generosity of Mr. Robinson, who has established these medal contests, and with the encouragement of the mem- bers of the faculty debating committee, who have debating at heart, this activity has risen to take its place with the foremost activities of the school. In addition to the regular work of the Debating Club, this semester has seen further progress in the way of the organization of separate boys' and girls' Debating Societies, in which training is given not only in debating. but also in parliamentary law. The officers of the Debating Club are: ,I ack Moran ,,,,,,,,,,ic, ,...,,....,.

The Oak Leaf is a benefit to the student body, and provides practical and up-to-date knowledge of newspaper work for the .lournalism Class. Such a publication shows the parents what the High School is accomplishing. Four editions of The Oak Leaf, with a possible special fifth number, are published this term for the nominal price of twenty-five cents. Formerly the Administrative Board was given the privilege of electing a Manager who held that position throughout the semester for the sake of simplifying business arrangements. Now, however, The Oak Leaf is under the super- vision of the journalism Class, which appoints, by election at the beginning of each term, an Editor and Business Nlanager, who hold their respective offices duringthe school tf'l'Ill. The Editor-in-Chief names his assistants for each new issue. This system affords experience in journalistic work for thc editorial staff. Each member registered in the course has the oppor- PAGE SEVENTY-ONE tunity of writing an article or editing a section at some time during the term.

AGARD'S RECITAL Upon two occasions during the semester Mr. Agard gave most pleasing piano recitals. The first one, on the afternoon of August 22, consisted of dance music of the different ages and peoples, portraying their characteristics through a careful repro- duction of music typical of the different ages.

Glee Club Concert The reputation of the University of California Glce Club was substantially backed by their performance at the Haight School Auditorium, Friday evening, November 3. The college songs, the humorous stunts and vaudeville acts amused everyone, and the lively dance music after the show made nimble the toes of many a youth. The Ways and Means Committee handled the affair with Fred Terry as student manager, the proceeds going to thc Motion Picture Fund. PAGE SEVENTY-SEVEN Frederick Monsen Lectures "Vanishing Indian Trails" and "Norway" were the subjects of illustrated lectures given by Frederick Monsen on the even- ings of September 26, and October 3 respectively, for the pur- pose of enlarging the Motion Picture Machine Fund. The lectures were intensely interesting and instructive, and as usual, Mr. Monsen's pictures were wonderful. The two enter- tainments were under the direction of the Music and Lecture Committee with Miss Garretson as chairman, assisted by A. Gilliland and R. Buben as student managers. The Bonfire Bally The greatest student rally ever held in Alameda was the bonfire rally held Hallowe'en night, the evening before the championship game with Berkeley. The bonfire, the material for which was piled over twenty feet high, was set off at half-past seven amid the applause of hundreds of students and parents. Yells and songs were given, speeches were made and an effigy of Berkeley's team was burned on the pile. The searchlights arranged by Fred Terry and Foster Miles added whatever was needed in the way of the spectacular. Major Tilden, Alameda's greatest football fan, Dr. Thompson, Coach Rittler, President Holden and Captain Latham were among the speakers. Albert Brooks, Walter Den- nison and Walter Cramer sang, accompanied by the banjo. The girls assisted financially by selling candy. After the pro- gram the boys serpentined around the town. The entire affair was one big burst of whole-hearted en- thusiasm and indeed it was so thoroughly enjoyed by all that we believe that the Bonfire Rally will be a customary celebra- tion for Hallowe'en night. PAGE SEVENTY-EIGHT EVOLUTH DN. The F reshman's plight, Is a pitiful sight, He works and he works all the day. Each teacher he fears, And he quakes 'neath the leers Of the other kids, care-free and gay. With the Sophomore stage, He begins to rage 'Gainst the virtue of Studying Hard. And he feels the elation Of Co-education, Which results in a Red-Spotted Card. The Junior's quite bold, For he feels he's now old, And he cares not a damn if he,s rough! He's proud that he shaves, And of Zingg's joint he raves, Getting by, if he can, with a Bluff. W But the Senior quiets down, And recalls with a frown, The hours that he's fooled away, And the moral is this, If you'd have Senior bliss, You will work all four years of the way! -Russell M edrraft, '16 'a PM .1 ,-,' A mf- ffl, P g .A,,. , :rv-"',f , .

M'g.,.,.3' Football N August 2, Captain Latham issued the call to colors, and was overwhelmed by the showing. Manager "Bish" was there in his famous undershirt, and, among the likely looking material from last year's second team, "Flicks" Mehan, uReckless" Macliiae, nShag" Moore, "Dwi" Jorgenson, uGopher" Smith, Tommy Bacon. and Willie Jacobs looked to be the class. There were lllkllly Vacancies on tl1e team due to graduation and matters looked none too bright, considering that not a back field man was left. Merle Horton, who last year played with Cogswell, registered at A. H. S., and has helped wonder- fully. There are many other candidates who are doing well, and will very likely be called upon to do service. They are 'afjlliel' Searing. "Aidey" Chase, uHeinie" lVlcNutt, 'l'hornton, Hussey and Bill Cathcart. The way things stand now, the team is not very flashy or brilliant. but for steadiness and reliability it can not be beaten. Vlfhen Otto Rittler gets started, and the boys round to form, look out you pig-skin followers of other schools! ALAMEDA 23 COGSWELL 5 Keep up the good work, Alameda, and run through the rest of the schools in the same way. Right at the kick-off the Alameda forwards ruslled the ball into Cogswellls territory, and a try followed in tllree minutes. Cogswell,s team showed no knowledge of football and was playing the man continually instead of the ballg consequently there was much fighting. Six more tries were made during the rest of the game, and only one of them was converted. This means the loss of many pointsg so practice up in your placement kicking. Alameda. Much PAGE EIGHTY-FOUR ff FUOTJ E3 'lLL"J ,gba X 5 431234 ii- 1 credit is due to the team for its grand showing. Considering the fact that Bacon and McNutt are graduates from the third team to the first, and "Ollie" Searing and Buben have never played before, the team played with great smoothness. Especial credit is due to the backfield, which was so light and inexperi- enced that everyone was pitying it. What weight and experi- ence is needed will be made up by the fighting spirit which has always made Alameda famous. ALAMEDA 3 LOWELL 5 It was a hard game to lose., as Lowell only outplayed us in the first five minutes of the game. Alameda's only points were gained from the educated toe of Harry Moore, who drop-kicked the ball between the bars on a free kick. Alameda's forwards kept right on the ball all the time, and sure had Lowell worried during the second half, as she was kept on the defensive most of the time. The stars of the game were: Horton, f'Gopher" Smith and Bacon, in the back-field, Macliae and Latham, ill the forwards. ALAMEDA 50 COMMERCE 0 In a game devoid of anything peppy aside from crabbing, Alameda snowed-under the S. F. High School of Commerce. Commerce showed much inexperience not only in a lack of knowledge of the rules, but in not playing its positions. Alameda went had in the first half, due to much fumbling and off-side play. "Capt" Latham went in tl1e game at front-rank in the second half, and immediately Alameda took a brace. The backfield was going so well that if the game had lasted ten minutes more the score would have been fabulous. "Gopher" Smith, McNutt., Bishop and '6Skib" Edinger, the referee, were the stars. ALAMEDA 0 COGSWELL 0 Alameda went into the field so overconfident that it was lucky to come off with an even break. The scrum men were loafing all the time, and the backfield was playing too much of an individual game. Time and time again a single Cogswell man would break through without any effort. Cogswell showed much improvement over its last appearance, but was not playing as clean a game as possible. Latham, Bishop, Jorgenson, MacRae and Smith were always on the job for Alameda. ALAMEDA 14 PALO ALTO 8 In one of the fastest games played this season, our hopefuls downed Palo Alto High at Lincoln Park. Alameda kicked off, and from a line-out Moore scored. Palo alto dropped-out, and after several minutes Mehan went over. Both these tries Ala- meda failed to convert, but the forwards were packing around the ball and they experienced little difficulty in scoring. The prettiest play of the game started in mid-field when Moore broke loose and passed to Latham. Latham ran several yards, passed back to Moore and he in turn passed again to Latham, who scored. "Ollie" Searing converted from a difiicult angle. Ala- meda's last score came when Horton went over the line near the end of the half. This made the score 14 -0 at the end of the first half. Palo Alto started right off in the second half when its for- wards heeled the ball out to its speedy three-quarter line, a try resulting. Greene converted, making the score 14 - 5. The ball traveled back and forth until Palo Alto procured the ball in the center of the field, and ran through the Alameda back-field, scoring a try but failing to convert. This ended the scoring, but the Palo Alto three-quarter line was always in action, and put many scares into the hearts of the Alamedans by its speed. Alameda presented a slightly changed line-up. Cathcart was PAGE EIGHTY-rrvr: seen at half-back, McKean at first-five, and Searing in front-rank. All did well. Especial credit is due to the Alameda scrum, which out- hooked and out-played Palo Alto at every angle of the game. Captain Latham was the individual star of the game. He was seen everywhere all the time, and his blocking of Palo Alto's kicks saved many yards for Alameda. The back-field for Alameda worked well in the first half, but in the second it simply fell to pieces before the attack of Palo Alto. Many easy tackles were missed and the good work of the forwards in following up the play at all times, saved Alameda. This game showed where Alameda was weak, and Coach Rittler declares that when the back-field gets a little practice it will make a good scoring machine. ALAMEDA 4 STOCKTON 6 Un September 23. the Alameda team boarded the train at Fruitvale, and journeyed to Stockton. The game was scheduled for 2 p. ln.. but did not start until nearlv three. All this time our boys were waiting in a blistering sun and, after the long train ride, our team was all in. Stockton swept it off its feet at the start and, in five minutes, scored. Another try was added to Stockton,s score in the first half. Neither of the tries were converted, making the score 6 - 0. This ended the scoring for Stockton, and Alameda started to find itself. From a long line-out inside of Stockton's 25-yard line Mehan procured the ball, and passed to Horton who placed a beautiful drop-kick between the bars, netting Alameda 4 points. This made the score 6 - 4 in favor of Stockton and Alameda was gaining steadily. It rushed the ball down to Stockton's 5-yard line, and "Gopher'7 Smith went over the line, but was called back because the referee did not see the play. PAGE EIGHTY-SIX Alameda was always close to scoring, but never could quite cross the line, because of the excellent defensive work of the Stockton forwards who were always on the ball with their heads down. Much dirty play was in evidence, and many injuries were sustained. Bill Cathcart had the skin above his eye badly torn. and "Heinie" McNutt's side was so badly hurt that he could not continue the game. This was the first appearance of GSkib" Edinger in the Ala- meda line-up and, although he did not break loose at any time, his speed showed to advantage. Merle Horton seemed to find himself, and made several spectacular plays. He also broke loose once, and was not downed until he reached Stockton's 5-yard line. uMick,, McCurrie did good work among the for- wards, and Tom Bacon played a heady game at wing. ALAMEDA 3 FREMONT 0 In one of the most thrilling and hardest fought games of the season, Alameda succeeded in gaining a victory over Fremont High 3-0. It was our first league game, and it was a hard earned victory. The score until the last ten minutes of play stood 0 - 0 and everyone was on his toes. The ball was outside at Fremont's 5-yard line. "Skib,' Edinger threw the ball ing Tom Bacon ran in front of the line-out, and took the ball for a few yards, then passed back to Edinger, who crossed the line for the only score of the game. Both teams played exceedingly well, and Fremont's lack of condition was the main cause of her defeat. Brooks, her star full-back, was injured in the last half after he had played a plucky game. He had to be carried off the field. Fremont attempted to play a very open game, but Alameda's forwards were working so well that Fremont hardly ever had the hall. When the Fremont forwards heeled the ball out Alamedais breaks were on the ball, and the Fremont half-back was always smothered. Bishop, "Aidey"' Chase, Edinger and "Flicks" Mehan were the stars of the locals, making many spectacular plays. '6Mac" Chase was seen in an Alameda suit, and showed that he sure had the speed. Bill Cathcart played a fine game at half-hack, despite the injuries sustained at Stockton from which he had not recovered. This was the first game this season that Alameda's back-field has got started, and now watch outg for Otto Rittler has de- veloped a strong scoring machine. ALAMEDA 18 OAKLAND 3 On Saturday, September 30, our huskies assembled on the State League Baseball Field at F ifty-eighth and Grove Streets, and gave Oakland High its first defeat of the season. It was more than a defeat, it was a drubbing. At the end of the game the Oakland men were so tired that they could hardly stand. Oakland kicked-off, and the ball was dribbled back and forth until from a scrum-down, Smith passed to Thornton, Thornton to Horton, and Horton to "Mac" Chase who tucked the ball under his arm and ran 35 yards before he was stopped on Oak- land's 5-yard line. Both teams' forwards packed around the ball but, finally, "Aidey" Chase broke loose and scored under the goal posts. "Shag,' Moore converted, making the score 5 - 0. Here Oakland took a brace, and carried the ball down into Alameda's territory. Both teams were fighting hard, but Oak- land seemed to have the advantage. After ten minutes more of play Oakland carried the ball over the line, but failed to con- vert, making the score 5 - 3, Alameda leading. Alameda dropped-out and, after five minutes more, the half ended. Oak- land was going well, and Alameda seemed to lack confidence. Otto Rittleris talk between the halves must have started something, for Alameda went in with new pep, and kept rushing the ball into Oakland's territory. On Oakland's 25-yard line HSkib,' Edinger scooped the ball, and worked his way through a scattered field, scoring Alameda's second try. Moore converted, making the score 10 - 3. Losing took all the fight out of Oakland, and, after this, Alameda had no difficulty in crossing Oakland's line. "Aidey" Chase scored two tries, showing that the forwards can make scores as well as the back-field. Mehan and Edinger also scored. Alameda's back-field was a happy surprise. Every time it would get the ball, it would advance toward Oakland's line. Not only did it play a good offensive game, but starred on the defensive also. "Rus,' Thornton, a Portland boy, was seen at first five, and he certainly knew how to break up Oakland's plays. The Chase brothers, Horton, and Edinger were the stars for the locals, while the Atwater twins did well for Oakland. A serpentine followed the game. ALAMEDA 0 OAKLAND TECH 0 On October 5, at Fifty-eighth and Grove Streets, the football teams from Alameda and Oakland Technical Schools battled to a scoreless tie. At the end of the game the hall was about in the center of the field, and the captains decided to play ten minutes extra. A closer game was never played. Alameda kicked-off, and the ball was rushed down to Tech's 25-yard line. Tech's for- wards heeled the ball out, and Black passed to Starrett who ran nearly to Alameda's line. He was downed, and the ball gradu- ally found its way back to the center of the field. Alameda's PAGE EI GHTY- SE VEN forwards were packing around the ball in fine shape, and were pushing Teclfs heavy scrum backward. Glues" Smith started the back field with perfect passes to Thornton, but Tech's defense was so strong that no scores resulted. The first half ended with Tech a little the stronger. When the second half was well under way it was evident that Alameda had the condition. Never for any length of time was the ball in one side,s territory. Both goals were always in danger, but the timely work of the full-backs' educated toes always saved the day. Many times Tech was close to scoring, due to the free kicks awarded it. Starrett tried long drop kicks which were unsuccessful. Only once did Alameda's back-field really get started. Smith passed-out, and Jacobs finally got his hands on the ball with a clear field ahead of him, but he'was not quite fast enough to score. The biggest scare that Alameda experienced was when Ala- meda ftunbled, and the Tech forwards dribbled the ball up to our 5-yard line. It looked like a sure score, but "Aidy" Chase shot in from somewhere, scooped the ball clean, and found touch on our 35-yard line. lt was a clever piece of work, and came just in the nick of time. Captain Latham played a wonderful game even though his ankle was injured early in the game. Harry Moore was the star in the line-outs, breaking through and spoiling many of Tech's tag-back plays. "Skib" Edinger and Horton also starred. The feature of Tech's play was the speed shown in her back- field. Many times it started, and was stopped, due to our clever defense. Black, of "Tech," was the kicking star of the game. His long spirals will be remembered as the best ground gainers that any high school lad has kicked in many a day. It was a grand fight and, had it lasted another five minutes, it sure would have been an Alameda victory. PAGE EIGHTY-EIGHT ALAMEDA 0 SAN JOSE 8 It sure did take San Jose High to show the team a fine time. Three machines met the boys at the depot, and took them to a fine feed at the San ,lose High School. After lunch, a short ride and a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Garden City ruggers tells the tale. The team made a miserable showing, not playing the game it is capable of. Everything went wrong, due most likely to a lack of pep. After the hard game with 'gTech" two days before the fellows were lame, and could not get started. Alameda kicked off, and rushed the ball down to San ,lose's 20-yard line where it was kept inside of San ,lose's 25-yard line until near the end of the first half. At this point San ,Iose's speedy backs scooped the ball, and ran the length of the field for a try, which was not converted. This ill-fortune put fight into Alameda, and the ball was again rushed into San ,lose's territory. Both sides had much difficulty in finding touch, but Beaver's long spirals were sure ground gainers. The second half started with Cathcart replacing Smith at half-back, and Smith was seen at first-five. This shift worked wonders for a while, but Alameda wasn't there when a rush was started from the middle of the field which netted San ,lose another try. This they succeeded in converting, making the score 8 - 0. The fight could not be taken out of Alameda, so it rushed the ball back into San Joseis territory, and we were always close to scoring. When the final gun went off, the ball was on San ,Iose's 3-yard line from which their full-back found touch, ending the game. The absence of Captain Latham from the line-up was greatly felt. He is a world of strength as a scrum man, but with his bad ankle it was best not to use him. '6Lcs" Smith acted as field captain, and performed well the duty of crabbing at the referee. The star of the game was Les Bishop who, with a bad laceration above the eye, would not be taken out of the game, although he could hardly see because of blood. Horton and Jacobs also played well. San ,lose gives us the credit of instilling in its mind the idea of showing the visiting team a good time, so let us continue to treat our athletic guests as we would like to be treated. ALAMEDA 3 BERKELEY 28 "We were beaten by a better team, and that is all there is to it," were the words of Captain Latham at the end of the game. "Everyone tried his hardest and fought until the final 99 gun. The first half was all Alameda. The ball was inside of Berke1ey's 25 yard line most of the time. From a loose ruck on Berkeley's 39 yard line Bishop scooped the ball, and ran 25 yards through Berke1ey's scattered forwards. He was tackled, but got his pass off to Captain Latham who crossed the line for A1ameda,s only score. Moore failed to convert. Many chances to score were lost in the first half. At the close of the first half our team seemed to break up, and Berkeley ran the ball down to our 5 yard line, where we held them for some time. Finally, however, a Berkeley backfield man scooped the ball, and crossed the line. Peterson converted just as the half ended, making the score 5-3 in favor of Berkeley. Still Alameda was going strong, and held Berkeley for the first ten minutes of the second half. Then the weight began to tell, and Berkeley scored another try, which Peterson con- verted, making the score 10-3. Alalncda was not bcatcn yet, and Mm-Currie dropped-oul. The forwards followed up and Berkeley cross-kicked. Bill Jacobs, who had just been sent into the game received the punt, and ran 40 yards down the field. He was tackled: so hc passed to ,lorgenson who was downed in his tracks. This brought the ball down to Berkeley's 20 yard line, but slowly it worked its way back to our end of the field, due to Berkclcy's skill in dribbling and then scooping the ball. From this time on Berkeley scored at will, and Petersons conversions were little short of marvelous. This was the final game of the season, and the whole team put into the struggle every ounce of fight it had. The season started with two veterans and no one ever thought that Ala- meda would again reach the finals. It is needless to say that she disposed of all comers, but Berkeley was too much for her. Our backfield averaged not over 130 pounds, while Berkeley's weighed in at about 150 pounds. This is some advantage, and it is no wonder that Berkeley tired us out at the e11d. Our scrums outplayed Berkeley all the time, and Bishop, Latham, and Jorgensen were the stars. Bacon, Edinger, and Smith played well in the backfield. This team was a young bunch, and many are already plan- ning to return to school next semester. So look out for 1917 Berkeley! Second Football Team Our first team this year showed us how important a second team is. Eight of the present regulars were members of the second squad last term. Next season some of this term's sec- ond team boys will be the representatives of A. H. S. in the big games. PAGE EIGHTY-NINE The season has been a very satisfactory one, and the boys are working hard to win their German Ais. They won from Fremont's Second Team, Richmond High School, and Oakland Techis Second Team, 6-0. From this team a 130 lb. team was formed which defeated Oakland Tech. 130 lb. team, and tied the Fremont combination. The lineup is as follows: Third Team Football Looking into the future is one of the principal qualifications of a successful business man, Otto says that applies to athletics, too, and he is sure living up to his belief. The third team this year has practiced hard, consequently it has learned much rugby under the direction of Otto, and some day its members will represent the A. H. S. as first team men. It will be better than our first team of today because more experienced and con- iident. Forwards- Backs- t . The third team defeated Washington 6-5, 14--0, 27-0, 13-0 and Baum Smith 17-0, Lincoln 36-0 and 21-0, and Haight 9-0 and 25-0. The hardest ame of the season was la ed against the sec- g P Y o Lum MCNHH ond team, which greatly outweighed the third aggregation. This U - was the only frame lost by the third squad all season, but it put Youll' Lauensteln up a good figlilt and the final score was only 11-3. Llttleflelfl Youngberg The 120 lb. team, which is practically the third team, will Thompson M' Chase meet Fremont and San ,lose High Schools in the near future. The lineup is as follows: Forwards: Levy, Hoppe, C. Lauen- Durst Hutt stein, Taylor, Kemble, Carroll Bost, Burkhardt, Caton, Craw- , ford Bost, Montelius, Johnson and R. Vaughan. Backfield: Rosen Shepard Moran, R.

With only two veterans returning to school, Otto Rittler whipped together a team that played in the championship game of the A. C. A. L. with Berkeley High. Our scores indicate that the team played a consistent game. the only OH.-gZllllC being the second one with Cogswell which we nearly lost by over-confidence. Nothing can be said against the excellent spirit exhibited by the students and faculty in supporting the team, and in conclusion, 1 wish to ask them to support, as they did this year, the captain, coach and team in the 1917 season.

The financial side of the football season was well cared for by Lester Bishop, who was successful in having the most inex- pensive football season in the High Scl100l's history. He cer- tainly arranged a good schedule, and with the co-operation of Coach Rittler has provided the students with many games on the home grounds. "Bisl1" is captain-elect next year, and is working hard already to see that the Alameda High team of 1917 will be the cham- pions of the A. C. A. L. and of the State. Good Luck! 6'Bish," to you and your team-mates of 1917. FELIX MEHAN Block A HE Hblock Aw is given only to efficient athletes. there- fore it is a great honor to wear one. To win a "block A" in football, baseball. or haskct- ball. one must be a member of an Alameda High team which wins a championship. It is a great feat to heat such teams as Berkeley and Oakland Tech., whose student body is three times as large as ours. indeed it has not been accom- plished for many years. consequently no "A's". To win a hblock A" in track and swimming. an Alameda High athlete must place first in an A. C. A. L. or a C. I. F. meet or any league meet where not less than Eve high or preparatory schools are competing. The spring term of 1916 was notable in Alameda High ath- letic circles for the awarding of 'Gblock A's" to Andrew Town- send and Felix Mehan. Mehan first won l1is 'EAN in a C. I. F. swimming lneet at Piedmont Baths, where he placed first in the breast stroke. Later in the term Mehan repeated his feat in the A. C. A. L. meet. Andy Townsend won the plunge for dis- tance, and placed second in the 440 yard swim. These were the first 'gblock A's" awarded in Alameda High School for three years and. what is more, they are the first las far as ascertainableb ever awarded for aquatic athletics. A PAGE NINETY FIVE The Merritt Marathon UE mainly to the energy and perseverance of our ath- letic director, Otto Rittler, Alameda High School won the first prize in the Oakland Tribune's Merritt Mara- thon for the number of runners entered and finished. The race, which was held on the shores of Lake Merritt, took place on September 9, Admission Day. Of the fifty-two Alameda students who entered, every one crossed the line before the time limit expired, and was accordingly awarded a silver bar commemorative of the day's feat. To Robert Burns, a Sophomore, fell the honor of being the first Alameda student to breast the tape, and he thereby won the silver medal offered by the Administrative Board of this school. The course of the race was twice around Lake Merritt, a distance of six and one-quarter miles. Quite a jog, you will agree, but the local lads never f altered once in their triumphant march over such a gruelling path. Mr. Rittler was the clerk-of-course of the race, and the beau- tiful cup won by Alameda was a fitting tribute to the industry and co-operation he manifested in attending to and filing regis- tration blanks, entrance blanks, fees, etc. The splendid spirit of loyalty displayed by our runners is certainly worth of lauda- tion, for they went into the enterprise in the right manner and made good. On the Friday following the race, the student body convened in the Assembly Hall to witness the presentation of the trophies. Joseph R. Knowland, the editor of the Oakland Tribune, pre- sented the high school entry trophy, a large silver cup to Presi- dent Holden. ln his presentation speech Knowland declared it was a distinct pleasure for him to present a trophy to his home town's high school. Otto Rittler then gave out the silver bars to the runners, and PAGE NINETY-SIX Robert Burns received his medal from Dr. Thompson. After a talk by Walter Christie of the University of California on track sports the meeting adjourned. The following were awarded silver bars: Robert D.

Such athletes as 5'Skib" Edinger, 'GAidy,' Chase, George Prickett, Wllacki' Bruzzone. 'llllacn Chase and usllilgw Moore are sure to return to school. '4Bcrt', Goodwin, our star left fielder and pitcher of the 1916 team was elected to captain the 1917 squad, and will be there with his trusty willow, which makes our opposing pitchers quail. "Fuzzy" Chase is a transfer from St. Ignatius High School where he was the heaviest hitter on the team. He swings from the left side, so that right field fence at Lincoln Park will always be in danger of being knocked down. Francis Neilson is another port side swinger and looks to be a cinch in the outfield. At present, the catching depart- ment seems woefully weak because of the loss of ,loe Kancy. but 'GFat,, Latham has the qualifications and only needs experience. Last spring the second team met all comcrs. and was success- ful i11 defeating Berkeley, Oakland and Fremont. 'lille mcn were awarded German A's for heading the league. These ath- letes can be counted on to fill in the places left by graduates: so look out some of you veterans, for they will work hard to uproot you from your positions. Wiith so formidable a combination at hand and so com- petent a captain, everything looks bright for a winning season. For the last tllree years we have been nosed out of champion- ships. and now our blood is up, so to speak, and we are out to defeat our league rivals. ' PAGE NINETY-SEVEN GIRL 9 ATHLETIC Margaret Hyde Eileen Eyre Claudine Brandt Winifred Aydelotte Gladys Nobmarm, Captain Margaret Spruance Anita Martine Ruth Jackson Marian Martine Martha Hyde Girls' Tennis Club SWIMMING OES a prosperous and successful spring ter111 of girls' athletics mean that the girls shoulfl retire from the scene until the next spring? lt iilIl0lllliS to almost this. what has hecome of girls' athletics this term? Last term the girls were very active, hut now there seems to he either a lack of interest or comlitions are not favorable. PAGE NINETY-EIGHT It is true that the spring semester affords more pleasant weather for outdoor sports. but if the spirit is there. some incloor sports coulcl be substituted during the fall term. Schools that are not much larger, if any. than ours, linrl plenty of material aml spirit among the girls to form basketball. hasehall, tennis aml swim- ming teams to meet other schools. ln spite of the fact that Alamefla is an islaml. and like all islamls, surroumleil by water, there are not more than one or two who could rcpresent the school if it were challenged for a swimming race. Wliaxt material we have is good, but that ma- terial is apparently very scarce. Alice Moran, the most note- worthy swimming star of Alameda High, leaves this term with the graduating class. It would benefit the school if a good team of girls could be organized. During the first part of this term when the weather was suitable for swimming, proper accommo- dations could not be procured. A plan to co-operate with the Encinal Yacht Club did not meet with the approval of the Board of Directors of that club. However, the management of Pied- mont Baths has offered special advantages and reduced rates to those who have A. S. A. H. S. cards, so why need the fall weather stop this activity? ROWING Another sport. which proved to be quite popular last term and which was affected by the failure of the plan to co-operate with the Encinal Yacht Club, is rowing. Rowing was very suc- cessful last term, Lake Merritt being the scene of practice. As it is almost a half hour's ride to the lake, and the bay is so close at hand, it was thought that it would be more advantageous to row in Alameda, and so no crew was to be organized until arrangements could be made for a starting place. Each of the Uakland schools, both High and Grammar, have two, three, and four crews. Alameda can not afford to lose her good reputa- tion: so let us hope to see some activity along these lines in the near future. TENNIS Tennis seems to be the only sport which has kept alive. Only ten girls signed up, but the decrease in number is probably due, at least in part, to the fact that no credit is given. How- ever. those who did sign up have the proper spirit, and there surely are some good players among them. The members of the tennis club are: Winifred Aydelottc Ruth Jackson Claudine Brandt Anita Martine Eileen Eyre Marian Martine. Margaret Hyde Gladys Nobmann Martha Hyde Margaret Spruance The tennis tournaments have aroused a great deal of enthusi- asm and interest. Because of the difficulty in keeping the rec- ords of the tennis players, it was decided not to give credit for tennis until an accurate system could be evolved. At a meeting of the active members of the tennis club. Gladys Nobmann was elected captain for this term. Miss Nobmann intends to chal- lenge the schools around the bay, hoping to be able to defeat them. Last term was a most active one in tennis circles. our school playing a series of tournaments with the Girls' High in San Francisco. An inter-class tournament was held August 22. 23, and 24. The winners andytheir scores were as follows: Marion Martine defeated Gladys Nobmann .... 6-4, 6-4 Claudine Brandt defeated Margaret Spruance..6-4, 8-6 Eileen Eyre defeated Elizabeth Garrett .,.......... 8-6, 6-4 Margaret Hyde defeated Martha Hyde ....,......, 7-5, 6-4 Winifred Aydelotte defeated Ruth ,lackson ..,. 6-0, 7-:m In the semi-finals, Willifred Aydelottc proved to be the star tennis player of Alameda High, defeating Marion Martine with the score 6-4, 4-6, 8-6. The playing of the finals decided that the school would be represented in doubles by Willifrefl Aydelotte and Marion Martine or Martha Hyde and Gladys Nobmann, and in singles by either Winifred Aydelotte, Marion Martine or Gladys Nobmann. BASEBALL A form of girls' athletics that has nevcr before been partici- pated in to any great extent, is baseball. As this scllool was honored by the receipt of a challenge from the Stanford Uni- PAGE NINE TY-NINE versity girls' baseball team, it was decided to organize in order that we might accept the challenge. Mr. Rittler put the matter in charge of Irene Williamson, and the following sixteen girls turned out: Martha Hyde Elsie Morgan Gladys Nobmann Doris Haslam Elizabeth Garrett Heartsease Barkley Alice Teague Winifred Aydelotte Frances Seward Lillian Barry Louise Croll Leona Fleckenstein Olga Baehr Margaret Hyde Ruth Crane Estelle Schmidt Out of these, a team will be picked to meet the Stanford girls. As yet, the date for the game has not been set. It is possible that Alameda High will challenge some of the San Francisco High School teams, in which case, our girls will rely on the loyal support of the entire school. BASKETBALL Although, heretofore, basketball has been considered a spring term sport, it is coming to the front this term as well. Mr. Rittler announced that the first and second period girls' athletic classes would play each other at basketball, and the sixth and seventh period classes would do likewise. Then the winners were to play for first place and the losers, for second place. A plan is on foot for inter-class basketball, also, and it is said that six or seven classes have already selected their teams. Games between the various rooms will probably take place near the end of the term. Our school is steadily growing, and let us all hope, with each successive term, to see our school better represented in all branches of girls' athletics.

Captain "Red" Souther was officer of the day and Lieutenant Wilson was commander of the guard. Before going out, liieut. Wvilson cautioned the guards about salutes and recog- nition to be given officers. Private Lum was very much interested, as he wanted to get a good "ree" Along about a quarter to twelve that night Private Lum was placed on Post No. 5, the farthest post from the guard-house, and down in a hollow where not even the rays of the moon came to light up any part of the landscape, Lum didn't like it, but orders arc orders, so he walked his post. About ten minutes later Lum heard somebody coming. It was too late for anybody to be out. Lum's knees began to shake. then came dreams of a medal for bravery in line of duty, so he held his ground. The man came nearer, LllIllgS voice rang out: Lum-Halt, who goes there? Ans.-Officer of the Day. l.um-Advance, Officer of the Day, to be recog- nized. Lum-Pass, Officer of the Day. lLlllll in a relieved voiceh. Your a dence of an Officer of the Day coming around at this timc of the night. Mr. Carpenter-All the great men are dying. it seems.
