r y lr i' ,f I P Bits. Cha RI. Stone OLLA PODRIDA : : : BERKELEY HIGH As our class always attended the class meetings and paid up their -dues regularly, our Senior year we were able to give two flemonadel parties, which were well attended by all except the boys. During our Senior year came a relax, due no doubt to over strain wllile gaining pre- vious honors. VV hat matter is we slept a trifle on occasions? There was always Anna Biedenbach, 'the class pet, who would save the day by declaring her opinions on the subject, and we still had famous mem- bers among us such as Arthur Hayne and Donald McLaughlin, the Cherub,', to shine in Physics class and astonish our learned instructors. Sarah Hammond still wrote beautiful poetry for us, and many will re- member how Miss Mitchell ruled supreme in the Spanish class, no matter how often Venus' seat was changed in the course of events. The Low Seniors gave us a dance our last term, which was very much appreciated and well attended. Neither time nor space will permit the mention of other members in the class who became renowned at Berkeley High, nor of others equally 'famous before the time of graduation. Thus ends the career of the remarkable Class of '09 and - To those behind us we would add, Though in departing we feel sad, We're glad of all the things we've done, Of all the honors we have won, We hope that others we leave by Will do as well for Berkeley High. 15,-X sr Se 7 THE GRADUATES 8 THE GRADUATES 9 REC OF hw'-xwu JV--,x V Wx-fvx VVNVK 'Vvyvvx vwxym www vv-M rvwm VMAP' lAN.v-I XA,g,slV .smog moan JO OLLA PODRIDA : : : BERKELEY HIGH A, .fvC .

SD 1-1- O Q.- O f-e- O O C- 4 O He had a tale to unfold. I-Ie wore an eager, expectant look, and yet one which seemed to point to a half-lurking fear of something: of What, jack Barry, who was expert in reading men's faces, could not determine. So he lay back in his easy chair before the cheerful hre and let the stranger tell the story of the circum- stances which had brought him to seek the detective's aid. About seven months ago, he began, I happened, through cer- tain circumstances, to become acquainted with a very mysterious, yet very interesting man. The manner in which I came to know him is entirely immaterial to the story, so that I will omit. I-Ie possessed the most peculiar, startling, yet interesting features that I have ever encountered. His fore- head was high and straight, swept by crisp black hair which was in- clined to curl in tight knots about his head. His cheek bones were high, his jaw square and determined. Two jet ornaments of Weird formation hung suspended from the lobes of his ears, which flashed and jingled when he turned his head. I-Iis complexion was smooth and clark, dark as an Indian's. All of these things rather startled me, but the most peculiar and probably the most noticeable feature of his face were his eyes. It would be almost impossible to try to describe them. I have seen' dark eyes: I have seen what people call black eyes, but I have never seen any like this man possessed. The white portion of his eyes was a dead, clear White, far more noticeable than any I have ever seen IS OLLA PODRIDA ' BERKELEY HIGH before. The colored portion was black, not what people usually term 'black,' but a real, shining, impenetrable black, which seemed to hold and hypnotize the observer with some unreal, unseen, supernatural power. I cannot to this day remember which one of us started the con- versation, but I do know that soon found myself listening to a story which carried my thoughts far, far away, told in a manner which brought one's imaginary powers right to the scene of the story. It took him some time to tell the story. and when he had finished, it all seemed like some dream, and I would believe yet that it was, if I did not have this for proof that it was not. So saying, the stranger drew forth albeauti- fully carved sandal-wood box from his innermost pocket, which he handed to Jack Barry for inspection. The detective slowly opened the box, to find within a small key, lying in a rich case of inlaid ivory and purple plush. Probably the most interesting peculiarity of the key was the material of which it was constructed. It was very small, scarcely half an inch in length, and upon examination was found to be made en- tirely of opals, set, placed and molded into this little key. ' A very odd piece of workmanship, commented the detective, after a critical examination of the object. What did the stranger have to say concerning this key? That is Where the story begins, observed the man. The stranger proved to be a native of Persia, that country of interesting, in- soluble mysteries. He spoke creditable English, with a very slight ac- cent, and told the story in an interesting manner. You know the Per- sians are a superstitious people, believing that everything has some con- nection with mystery. VV ay up in the Zagros mountains of Persia there is a large and lofty building, set in amongst stately palm trees. This structure was once the temple and home of Mohammedan priests. To an observer this reminds him of a gloomy, desolate prison, the lair of robbers, thieves and murderers. Within this mysterious building this stranger, this Persian was reared, learning from childhood the strange, mysterious -secrets of the Persian priests. lVlr. Barry, when this Persian came to .me he was sick and weak, without food or funds. I-le pleaded with me, begged me to please take him in until he became strong and well. He asked me so pitifully .I could not refuse him, and he worked for me during the time I cared 19 OLLA PODRIDA : : : BERKELEY HIGH for him, as faithfully as any one I have ever known. l suppose you are wondring where he is now. Sir, he died. He stayed with me, acting as my attendant, in return for his livelihood, for five months. l thought he was gaining strength during this time, but he was not. One day, he called me to him, and taking this little box from his clothing. he told me the story of the opal key. 'He claimed that this little key which we now have before us was once the sacred and secret possession of these priests. He also claimed that there is a box to which this key belonged: but most startling of all, he declared that box to be here in New York. It is here in this city, probably not far away, while we are sitting here with the key to which it will yield and open! He said that this box was stolen from the Persian temple years ago, he had been engaged in tracing it ever' since, and had just lately discovered its whereabouts. He died before he had time to tell me of the contents, or any- thing more than I have told you. He lelt me this key as the only object he owned, as a reward for my kindness. He did mention, however, that the box could be found at this address, and upon the presentation of this. . T he man drew a large roll of parchment from his pocket which,. upon investigation, proved to be some sort of a document, written en- tirely in an unknown language, also aprumpled slip of paper, bearing the address of a house in Forty-tiftli street. I desire to investigate this matter, continued the man, but I do not care about doing so alone. I came here today, sir, to ask if you would care to accompany me. Something, l do not know what, some great influence or longing-possibly curiosity--tells me l must investi- gate this matter. If you will accompany me l will make it all right with you. The man died of heart failure, at least that is the diagnosis given by the attending physician. I believe he would have told me more con- cerning the box, but death came too soon. Well, if you wish me to accompany you to this house, and take the chances of getting that box, l'm on, replied the detective. With a few more hasty words of explanation, the two men descended to the street, and hiring the services of a nearby automobile, were soon hurrying to the desired address in Forty-fifth street.. The car slowed down and came to a stand before a large, brown. 20 OLLA PODRIDA . : BERKELEY HIGH stone house, appearing dark and gloomy in the evening light, for night was fast approaching. Giving the driver orders to await their return, the two men hurried up the broad stairs. They lightly touched the elec- tric bell, and, as if by magic, the entire building became suffused in a mellow light, of a greenish hue. From each window there shown forth almost transparent vibrations of this peculiar coloring. The whole build- ing seemed to be clothed in this strange, phenomenal light. h i The detective and his companion looked questioningly at one another, but before they had time to speak the massive door swung back on its hinges without a creak or a sound, and a tall, dark personage. clothed in perfect livery, stepped forward, inquiring fin a slightly ac- cented tone of voice, what they wished. jack Barry drew forth the document from his pocket and without a word handed it to the man. The man gazed thoughtfully upon the two strangers, and then, unroll- ing the parchment, he hastily ran his eye over the contents. His man- ner upon first encountering the strangers had been very distantg how- ever, after completing his examination of the parchment, he became very cordial, and opening the door wide, bade the men enter. The detective and his companion realized that any hesitancy on their part would not do, so they stepped into the brightly illuminated room. The two men found themselves in a spacious apartment, beautifully and artistically ornamented with many peculiar and interesting works of art. The liveried attendant requested the two adventurers to be seated, drawing forth a richly cushioned couch, upon which the two men sank, to await the proceedings. The Persian then stepped to the wall, and touching a panel, which was concealed beneath the hangings, he bade the two men watch the opposite wall. Slowly the strange light faded from the room, leaving the two men to stare into impenetrable darkness. A chill dampness suddenly overcame them, chilling them to the very bone, while a strong odor of mold assailed their nostrils. A feeling of indescribable awe and an over- whelming nausea overcame them, leaving them sick and faint. Their power of speech seemed to have abandoned them altogether, and they' sat upon the couch for what seemed hours, waiting in vain for the ap- proach of either strength or uncoxisciousness. At last they saw a slight flickering of light along the floor, and the wall which they were facing seemed to rise: it seemed to rise as does the drop curtain in a play-house, until finally they came to the realiza- 21 OLLA PODRIDA BERKELEY HIGH tion that they were looking upon a diminutive stage, upon which there sat an old man. The stage seemed clothed in the same strange opa- lescent light, while all the furnishings were profusely decorated with silks, draperies and curtains of the same peculiar hue-an opal green. With these novel proceedings some of their fear Hed, and they were soon engaged in watching the old man. He rose slowly to his feet, and stepped to the front. of the stage. His features were greatly distorted, his countenance diabolical, as he turned to view the strangers. He began speaking in a low voice. My friends, I am glad you have come. Many years have I waited to deliver this sacred possession to you-the messengers of our god, the Wise Mohammed. Carefully have I Watched and guarded this box, waiting patiently for the time when Mohammed would send his messenger to me, the messenger who is to deliver this box to him. I have longed for years to return once more to the sweet, pleasant oases of the Persian desertg to inhale once more the pure mountain breeze, to see once again the sacred, lofty Mt. Dema- vend, upon which is the Temple of the Worshippers of our god, Mo- hammed. I I have waited, I have prayed to be able to once again see my home-my sweet childhood home at Kom. At last, at last this time has come. At last, Mohammed has sent his messengers to meg has freed me from caring for and Watching this sacred, beautiful box, and I can return to my home, return to end my days in the sweet, happy, sunshiny land of our Mohammed-Persia! Again the room was in darkness, again the two men became over- whelmed With the strange, indescribable sensation. ' Of a sudden the room became brightly illuminated, as it was when they hrst entered, and Jack Barry and his companion found themselves staring into each other's eyes, each looking as though they had just awakened from some horrible dream. T he hrst thought which sprang to each of their minds was this: Did these people, did this strange man believe them to be messengers from Mohammed? For many moments they sat there, speechless, and thoughtful. The door on the further side of the room opened and the same liveried servant stepped forward, and kneeling low beforevthe two men, he murmured a prayerg rising, he handed a small, though very heavy, box to them, and escorted them to the door. Once out in the invigorating, fresh air again, the two bewildered men hurried to the waiting automobile, carrying with them the mysterious 22 OLLA PODRIDA : 2 : BERKELEY HIGH V.fV7,VxA box, and hastily entering the tonneau, bade the driver make all speed to Jack Barry's home, which was but a short distance. Arriving there, the two men alighted, and settling with the driver, hurried into the house. ' They set the box upon the table, and removing their overcoats and hats, sat for many minutes, thoughtful and meditating. At last Jack Barry observed, laughingly, Do you suppose that little old brown man really believed we were messengers from his god? Well, he certainly did seem earnest about it, replied the other. The Persians are so superstitious that l would believe almost anything of them. I Wonder what this box containsf' Yes, I wonder, mused jack. Perhaps some mystery connected with their religiong possibly something of value. Well, there is surely no harm in opening it. With this, he drew the sandal-wood box from his pocket, and opening it, removed the key. What a very odd piece of workmanship this is, he observed, referring to the box, as he in- serted the key in the lock. And indeed it was. The box was made of coal-black ebony, fin-- ished with a smooth, shiny surface, which was deeply and richly inlaid in opals and weird ornaments of jet. Many bands of dull, heavy gold encircled the box, each one artistically engraved. Slowly he inserted the key into the lock, and turning it carefully and without noise, he silently raised the heavy cover. The two curious, excited men rose and gazed long and anxiously within the box. Long and anxiously did they gaze, at last raising their eyes to stare at one another with a foolish grin. What did the box contain? The box, sought after and gained only after so much trouble and excitement, as here related-the box was empty! O00 o O . Q , oooooo 0 ' . . ' I 9 v '.

A Hute, whistling on one sideg a Hbasso-profundof' on the otherg opposite was a piano, blood-curdlingly out of tune. At the end of the hall, an operatic soprano, wildly trilling, and to add to the deafening roar, was the endless throng, surging back and forth on the street below. He looked about the dark, ill-smelling room, and a feeling of in- tense repulsion came over him. In one corner was the cheap rented piano. ln the opposite one, stood the old bed-stead, with a wash-stand at the head. ln the center of the room was the table, littered with papers and music. On top of the piano, in a shabby, wooden case, wrapped in a silk American Hag, reposed the one thing he worshippedg that which he was more careful of than his life: his all-in-all -his violing a beautiful Stradivarius, which had been in his family for many generations. He thought of the long hours he had spent, wishing for, and dream- ing of, this chance to go to Europe to study, and hear and see how the big ones did it',g of how he had schemed and saved. And here he was in Dresden. It was so different from what he had pictured, and had been led to believe it would be. Suddenly it came to him like a flash. He seized a piece of paper and the pencil flew. Ah, at last he had it! Heedless of the din out- side he wrote on furiously. When he had finished, he arose with arms extended upwardg and then, realizing the full beauty of it, he dropped back into the chair, his head upon his outstretched arms, sobbing con- vulsively. It was at one of the semi-monthly meetings of the International Music Students' Club of Dresden. They were assembled in the studio of one of the leading teachers of the city. They were mostly poor stu-- dentsg men and women passionately fond of good musicg willing to do 24 OLLA PODRIDA : BERKELEY HIGH almost anything to secure it. They were of various nationalities, mostly German, French, Italian and Russian, with a few Americans, English- men and Swedes. It was the custom for all who came to perform. The program had this evening been exceptionally good. A Frenchman and three Ital- ians had played Handel's l..argo. A Swedish girl had sung the Mad Scene from Lucia, with great effect. A German baritone had ren- dered HO, Du Mein Holder Abendsternf' from Tannhauser. The last number was a violin solo by an American, one of his own composition. He was a small, thin, pale little man, with long, delicate fingers and heavy, black, curly hairy He raised his violin and began. The first part was light and ripplingg one could hear the violin laugh. Suddenly the music changed to wild, minor chant: then came harmony, which sent thrill after thrill through the auditors. Gradually the tempo quickened, until there was a bright uswingi' to the aria. The tones were of a won- derfully sweet, cool, pureness. The player's body swung with the rythm of is, as his quick fingers flew up and down the strings. His head was bent low and moved from side 'to side with the wave of the body. Finally, with an exquisite run and a trill, the music ended, and the artist, head still bowed, hand fallen, eyes half closed, sank into a seat, amidst dead silence. The stillness was at last broken by a woman's sob. The first to speak was a little fat Italian, who was sitting next the composer, Holy Mother, Signore, it was beautifulli' The spell was broken. They crowded around him, congratulating him, praising him, shaking his hand, and a pretty French girl kissed him on the lips.

Considering that the pres- ent school governing body was under the disadvantage of hav- ing no precedents to act upon in constitutional affairs, and that it was forced to make all laws for the execution of the provisions of the constitution, it performed its duties admirably. ln the meetings of the executive board great interest was taken, not only by the members, but by the students in general. The constitution has proved to be not only theoretically sound, but a truly practical instrument of government. Too much credit cannot be given to President William Hanford for his able guiding of our Ship of State through its trial voyage. To him more than any other is due the success of the working out of the consti- tutlon. To the executive board of the school are owing the thanks and appreciation of the students. They have worked untiringly and cheer- fully and have endeavored to represent the school as they thought it should be represented. No particular members can be picked out as hav- ing done especially good work, for that would be unfair to the rest of the hard-working members. Scarcely one of the meetings of the board has failed to last till 5 o'clock in the afternoon, but the members have attended well and taken an active part in all discussions, Representa- tion in the school has proved to be a success. The executive board this term consists of the following members: William Hanford, president: Miss Helen Lacy, vice-presidentg Chester Robinson, secretaryg Mr. W. B. Clark, treasurerg Mr. G. W. Monroe, auditorg Mr. Edwards and Miss Hamlin, faculty membersg Grace Jones and Ormond Smith, class of December, I909g Edna Maguire and Henry Ashmun, class of June, l9l0g 'William Tregea and Edwin Thomas, class of December, I9iUg Percy Neal and Victor Doyle, class 31 OLLA PODRIDA : : : BERKELEY HIGH of June, l9I Ig Norman Stern, class of December, 191 Ig and Edwin Human, class of June, 1912. The class representatives of the june classes remain the same next term, the other members being elected. By the recent school election three new members were chosen-Darrell Bogardus, president: Frank Brophy, vice-presidentgrolin Brown, secretary. The other officers elected were: Yell leader, Roy Hunt: editor of Olla Podridaf' S. N. Wyckoff, Jr.: manager of Olla Podridaf, Alvah Conklin, track manager, Smith Bacon: swimming manager, Roswell Miller, girls' basket- ball manager, Winona Moore: debating manager, Daryl Miller, tennis manager, Arthur Christie. The amendment relating to the Olla Pod- rida passed. The election for president was one of the closest in the history of the high school. The Berkeley High School 32 H. S.

S WE. near the end of another half-year, it is well to review the fortunes of the society during the term just closing. It has been the busiest and the best term in the history of the society. The Agora is at last taking its place as a' big girls' interest of the school. This growth is most evident in the phenomenal and continued in- crease in the membership. il' here are on the books now four times as many as there were at the beginning of the term, and attendance at meetings is in proportion. There has been improvement in quality and activity with the growth in size. Because of the enlarged attendance and interest, it has been pos- sible to hold meetings weekly instead of bi-Weekly, as formerly. This also has enabled the society to do much, both in a literary way and in a social way. On the literary side, there have been debates at the regular meetings and also a successful story contest, which was won by Miss Bessie Fiske. ln the social activities may be included the enter- tainment of the Debating League, with all its work and enjoyment. Then there was conducted a successful Pie Sale, and also the Agora was active in the bringing about ol the only Girls' Rally ever held in the school, and was well represented in the presiding officer, Miss Helen Lacy, vice-president of the Associated Students. Finally, an enjoyable party was held recently. The term has been good, but we look lor a better one to follow. We expect more growth and consequently ability to do more. One ambition is to be represented on the School Debating Team, which other work made too much to attempt this term. ln closing, we wish to extend our heartiest good wishes to the Forum, and sincerely hope that the next term will bring them as much as it seems to promise us. 34 e 5 .fs if nfs a e. i f 2 4 x I hx , on fi 1 I 3 ' l l u ' 6 U g , Quo., 31519 By Reese Thompson, 'I0. From outward appearance it seems that interest in debating has diminished. This is partly clue to the fact that we have no fall debate with Gakland. Next term we do hold our annual debate with that school. Now, everyone in B. l-l. S. knows what a contest with Oak- land means. It means a hard fight all through. We have beaten Oak- land now for the last live years, and we want to steadily increase our string of victories, so that they can never catch up. We are two de- bates ahead of our rivals now, and next term we should make it three. But we cannot have the chance to win unless we have some good ma- terial. There are plenty of fellows in the school who would make good clebaters if they would only take an interest in the activity and try out for the team. The best way to fmcl out whether you can debate or not, is to join a society which makes debating its aim. If you have no ability at Hrst, such a society is the place in which to learn how to debate. This society in the Berkeley High School is the Forum. Next term we hope and expect to make this society a good one, and one which will clo fellows who want to learn to talk before an audience some good. To clo this, we must have the support of the pupils of the school. New fellows, come around to the Forum next year. The more fellows that come around the better it will be for the society, and also for the individual. Everyone in the school should go out for some activity, whether it be football, track, baseball, journalism or debating. All those who have not gone out for some one of the others should en- deavor to join our society. l-lere's to a big society in the spring of l9l0. ,. 35 . A A A A A A A A A Q 5-4 3 if Greek Club al li s w r t s ig By Daryl B. Miller, 'l0. I-IE GREEK CLUB has started its second year's work with great success. Although Miss Mary B. Clayes, the organizer and patron of the Club, has not been able to be at school this term, she has, by her interest, made it possible for the C-reek Club to continue the lectures which have become so popular. Dr. Edward B. Clapp and Dr. Oliver Miles Washburn of the University of California kindly consented to give the lectures this semester, and their talks on Greek and Roman antiquities were well attended by the pupils of thc' school, and proved very interesting and instructive. The Tale of Troy was the first lecture of the past term, and was given by Dr. Clapp. T he second lecture was on The Roman House by Dr. Washburn. Both of these instructive discussions were much appreciated by the Club and by the school public which attended. The Faculty has also shown much interest in the C-reek Club. Miss Anthony permitted us to use her stereopticon lantern, which Mr. Sheldon kindly set up. It is hoped that the Board of Education will soon install a lantem in the new Assembly l-lall. We wish also to thank Walter Holland for his skillful handling of the lantern during the lectures.

WING to the approaching close of school, the Dramatic Club decided not to produce any plays at the High School Audi- torium this seinesier. However, early next term the Club pro- poses to stage two plays, one a short skit oi three acts, the other a musical comedy. While this aim is perhaps ambitious, still we think that we can accomplish much with our present membership. During the past few weeks the Club has taken in many new members, including several talented young ladies of the upper classes. The funds which the Club will raise shall be used in furnishing the school stage with much-needed scenery and properties. Ail the materials bought by the Club will be of the latest pattern and design. The work of the Club ancl its efforts to furnish the stage for fu- ture use is a very good. showingol school spirit. The support of the whole school is needed if the plans which we have formed are to be 'carried out effectively. The united student body should stand behind the Dramatic Society and help it in its labor, not only by supporting the performances of the society, but by attending the meetings of the organization. We all hope lor a successful season in 1910. 37 ' .g.----..-.. ----..--- nftffff., ' Y- 675 T LAST we have a Band in the school which has been organized as a permanent institution. The success of the Band has been very largely due to the untiring efforts of Ernest Lasell, who has devoted his time and ability in building and directing this im- portant factor in school activities. Too much credit cannot be given him and the school surely appreciates his work. Let us all give three big cheers for Sousa Lasell. e o o o o o o o I o o E o o o 2 The Band wishes to thank the school, not only for the general support and en- : erm! 2 couragement, but also for the financial aid l Lg-' 2 accorded it, without which the Band 2 as l could not have been a success. 2 ' l The Bandis efforts this term have not E RAYMOND ATTHEW E been without avail, as everyone knows. 2 Band Manager g It has been on hand at all important ath- Q l letic contests and rallies. The enthusi- ozo 0 asm which always attends our rallies and contests has been made even greater through the presence of the Band. It looks as if the Band is here to stay, and it certainly will if it is given the support which it must have. More members are needed. There are many fellows in school who play instruments, and they owe it to the school to join the Band. Even if you do not know how to play an instrument, get one and join the Band and it will not be long before you will be as proficient as the rest. Let every member of the school do his or her part in making the Berkeley High School Band a pride and credit to the school. 38 'rf' ff 1 V 39 N . sry I 'M if u Q.

Of the eight games played the Re d and Cold waved victoriously in all but one, and there was some glory in losing that game, for our team held a superior one to a single touchdown. Une game was also tied, i .4 but they so outplayed the other team that we feel like giving our men the credit of a victory. The other six games resulted decisively for Berkeley High, and proved that this year's team is the equal, if not the superior, of any high school team in the state. The person responsible for the success of the eleven this sea- son is l-lead Coach Dave Mac- Andrews. His knowledge of the game under the new rules places him second to none among the high school team coaches on the coast. The Indian made him- self one of the fellows and imparted' to them what he had learned in many years of college and club 40 OLLA PODRIDA : : : BERKELEY HIGH football in the Eastern states. He has the hearty thanks- of everyone affiliated with Berkeley High School for the services he has rendered the school, and everyone hopes that he will hold the same position with us next fall. To Mr. Lowell, also, a good deal of credit is due. He ably as sisted Mac in developing the team, and his knowledge of the game was valuable to all on the team. Manager Roy Turner is to be com- mended on the excellent judgment which he displayed and the business- like method in which he managed the team. A review of the season will help to recall to the minds of all 'the success of the term. No games were played for some time after prac- tice started, so that the team was well trained in trick plays when the season opened. The first game played was with the team from Cogswell Poly.,' Our team showed them that they knew very little about the game, and proved it by a 33-0 score. . E The next victim was Wilmerdingbs aggregation. They were sent back to San Francisco on the short end of a 40-0 score. In the next contest we were not as successful as in the previous games and the Winged V team of Vallejo defeated us 6-0. How- ever, they were our superiors in weight and age and the game the fellows put up against them was very creditable. One of the hardest games of the season was that with Oakland Poly. Their heavy line prevented us from scoring a touchdown, but lncell won the game with a pretty drop kick. Score, 3-0. Shortly after this game, the team journeyed to Belmont and so outplayed the Academy team that instead ofa 0-0 tie, the score should have been in our favor. The following Saturday, the team met their rivals from Oakland High in the I8th annual game between the two schools, and when hostilities had ceased, victory was ours by a 37-5 score. During the Thanksgiving holidays, the team took a trip to Chico, where two games were played. On Thanksgiving Day they met. the team from Chico Normal, and after a clean, hard-fought game, emerged victors by I6-0. On the following Saturday our team played the eleven from Chico High. Here they encountered a harder team, but, despite the fact that they were treated very unfairly, won by the score of 5-0. 41 OLLA PODRIDA : : BERKELEY HIGH The winners of the A. A. L. refused to play us, so that we can once again call ourselves the state champions. The Team As Individuals. Captain Brev. Sinclair played a game at right tackle that would be a credit to anyone. He was fighting all the time and was in every scrimmage. He is to be congratulated on the generalship he displayed. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a prep. school player who is the qual of George lncell. He never failed to gain yards when' called upon, and played a defensive game in varsity style. His kicking was a feature of every game in which he played. Rum Hunt, at full, played a splen- did game, bucking to advantage and playing secondary defense in a fine man- ner. Essy Wiley was a find at right half. His bucking and end runs were noticeable in every game. Al quarter, Mickey Morris was a de- mon. He used good judgment in running the leam and played the backfield defense in fine style. Venus Watkins is easily the best center now playing prep. school football in this vicinity. Both on offense and de- fense his work was effective. Ot Steele at left tackle was an ex- cellent partner for Brew Cn the defense he was a stone wall, and on the offense he made holes and bucked in 'varsity style. Brown at guard was always in the game and did excellent work, both on the defense and the offense. Brunk also did good work at guard and should make a name for himself next year. Agar at left end worked all the time, and was equally effective on offense as on defense. Miller filled the position left vacant by Monte Morris at right end 42 ' OLLA PODRIDA : : : BERKELEY HIGH in fine style and greatly' strengthened the team. I-lis work was con- sistent at all times. i Parrish, when substituted at quarter, showed up well and should be heard from next year. Male. Sinclair made the linesmen hustle for their positions, and will undoubtedly be on the team next fall. Klopton, l-lardy, Ensenberger and Steindorf, with this season's experience, should' also make good next fall. Kauffman showed up well at end, and will strengthen the team next season. At a meeting of the members of this year's team, held shortly after the season closed, Roy Hunt wasiunanimously chosen to lead next year's football team. Rum has worn a Crimson and Gold sweater for two seasons, and has always played a good game. Last season he was doing excellent work at fullback when injuries forced him to retire in the middle of the season. This year he played at full all season, and was a consistent ground-gainer. He has the wishes of all for a sucr- cessful season as captain. 43 Football Team H. S. B. I I u A By Manager Gilbert Sweet. HE. track season of the fall of I909, although not the most suc- cessful in the history of Berkeley High's athletics, still had its merits. A big bunch of men turned out about the middle of August and trained faithfully all season. We were able to obtain the Stiles Hall training quarters again, which made training very convenient. The showing the team made was due to the excellent coaching of Tommy Smith. It is safe to say that Berkeley High School has never had as efhcient a coach. By his good nature, his own ability as an athlete and his thorough knowledge of track affairs, he soon gained the good will and confidence of the whole team. It is seldom that a man will give his time for the sake of a sport. The school showed their appreci- ation of his services by presenting him with a suit case. On behalf of the team, I would also like to thank Mr. DeWitt, secretary of Stiles Hall, R. P. Merritt, graduate manager of U. C., Charles Voltz and Walter Christie for their kindness in helping us Whenever possible. The team went out this year crippled by the loss of such stars as Gene Kern and ex-Capt. Campbell, but under such an able captain as Marion Scott, each fellow went into the meets with true B. H. S. de- termination 'to Win. The inter-class meet was the first Held day held, and was a finan- cial success as well as a test of what the fellows could do. Next came the dual meet with Oakland, on September 24th. The biggest B. H. S. crowd that ever turned out to a contest showed up, and they backed the team from start to finish. F ui Wood was the 45 OLLA ,PODRIDA I : : BERKELEY HIGH star of this meet, easily winning the 50, l00 and 220 yard dashes. Oakland won the meet by 63 l-3 to 58 2-3 points. The last meet of the season was the B. C. l... Oakland's com- bination of stars again proved too much for B. H. S., and we had to be content with a second place. Steve Dewing easily won the half mile. Fui Wood again showed up well in the sprints, as did Hayne in the mile. In the 220, Captain Scott's Weak side gave way on him near the finish, enabling Todd of Oakland to win. Scott's side also kept him out of the relay. Marion Scott proved to be an efficient captain, and managed his team well. He was troubled all season by a bad stitch in his side, and this kept him from running the races we all know he is capable of. Fui Wood, captain-elect, proved to be a wonder in the sprints, and a better man could not be chosen to lead a B. H. S. team next spring. Kauffman, a new man, showed up well in the 50 and pole vault. Skinner had a difficult task in filling Gene Kern's shoes. However, he ran some gritty hurdle races, and took third in the B. C. L. Ellis, in the quarter, was Ft strong man, and with another season's training should be a point-winner. Steve Dewing proved a wonder in the half, and also ran a fine relay lap. He will be back next spring, and we expect to hear from him again. Hayne and Foster were a valuable pair, and both ran gritty, heady races. Brophy was the same reliable man of last year in the pole and high. Bogardus and Smith looked after Berkeleyis interests in the broad jump. Smith had to stay out of the half because of a bad back. Brown won the shot put in all the meets. Villas was sick most of the season, so could not do much in the hammer throw. Steel was our best man in the high jump, and also placed in the shot. Had he not divided his time between track and football, his record would have been better. Ostrander also proved to be a good man in the high, and next year should make them all work to beat him. Harlowe, one of our best relay men, had to quit on account of a bad ankle. 46 Track Team B. H. S. OLLA PODRIDA BERKELEY HIGH WyckoE is still improving and next year should be a wonder. On account of cripples, our relay team was never the same on any two occasions, and consequently could not do as much as B. H. S. relay teams have done before. To Tommy Smith, Bill,' Stone, and Phil Keating, the team Wish to express their thanks for their assistance. A On the whole, the season was a success, and much credit is due the school for the way they supported the team. Our deepest interest will be centerd in next year's team, and We wish them all success. B. H. S. Relay Team 48 OLLA PODRIDA : : 2 BERKELEY HIGH Easkethall By Darrell Bogardus, 'l0. ASKETBALL has been steadily growing in favor in the last few years, and Berkeley I-ligh is keeping up with the pace. This fall we have made on important advance, with the re- ' sult that there is now a splendid basketball court on the school grounds, and it is there to stay. That we have this court is due to the efforts of Mr. Monroe, together with the support of Superintendent Bunker, the former especially having worked hard towards this end. With the court comes increased interest in basketballg but it took time to accomplish this and only four weeks remained of the term when it was completed. Later a dressing room and shower were obtained. Even then an interclass tournament was begun, to promote more spirit and for preliminary practice. Although the fellows turned out fairly well and showed a willingness for hard work, yet more new. fellows are needed. Whether you have ever handled a basketball or not, it is worth trying, and only those that try can expect to accomplish anything, so do not think you are not good enough and will only get the hard knocks. We are fortunate in having on the faculty such an expert coach as lVlr. Rogers, and he is determined to develop a championship team and the best one Berkeley High has ever had, and the students must work with him. i Two teams will be chosen early in the spring, of seven or eight men each, and these will constitute the main squad. This squad is worth trying for, as from them the team will be picked, and much ex- perience can be gained even by those who do not make the team. Although three of last year's men and several subs are back in school, all of them will have to work hard to make the team and no favoritism will be shown. Some of those who have shown up well are Corn- wall, Embury, Austin, Salsbach, Norton, Gardner, Stone, Bogardus fCapt.j, Killduff, Bretherton, Miller, Gunn, Rushforth, Doyle, Howard. Spectators are always welcome and the coach and players will appreciate it greatly if those who are not trying for the team themselves 'will encourage the squad by their presence both at practice and games.

LTI-IOUCI-l baseball is not a fall sport, it is only just to give it some mention in this Final, As all remember, last spring's team was one of the best that ever brought victory to Berk- eley l-ligh. But one game was lost out of eleven played, and' such teams as Oakland High, U. C. Varsity and Stockton High were defeated. The members of the team all played an excellent game of baseball for high school players, and as many of them are in school, a good team is looked for next spring. Those now in school are: Captain Smith, Bromley, l-lust, Bertolacci and Redmond. Babe Dent has returned to school, and two new players, Reubke and Gregory, will strengthen the team. The team last term, despite its elhciency, went through the whole season without a coach. Next spring, however, the team will have the services of Mr. l-lart, a faculty member. l-le comes from Stanford, where he played 'varsity baseball for several seasons. l-le had the squad out for light practice several times this fall and all feel certain- lhat he will render excellent services next spring.

While the practices have been few and far be- tween and the funds low, the enthusiasm and determination of the girls has been so great as to more than over-balance these facts. We have been very fortunate in securing the interest of several members of the faculty, a privilege which the team has never before realized. Miss Teifts and Miss Brockman have both offered to help coach us in our practices and aid us in our. games. In doing this they have gained the gratitude of the team, as well as that of many others, and the best of results are expected from it. Mr. Monroe and Mr. Rogers have both been of the greatest help to us. Berkeley High is very lucky in having secured such advocates of basketball as they on the faculty. The fact that we are at last able to enjoy a good court on our 'own grounds is due to the hard work of Mr. Monroe. Miss Clisbie's kindness in securing us posters is also greatly appreciated by the team. The large number of new girls who have turned out this season has been especially encouraging. Moreover, a great number of them are experienced players from other schools, so we have been fortunate in being able to select a team which is especially good, despite the lack of practice. Our success has also been greatly furthered by our having such an able captain as Isabelle Brown. She is one of the very few girls left in High who have won their Els, besides being our star player now. Quite a number of games have been played, with but one loss, that to Santa Rosa. This we expect to redeem with an extra large score when we play the return game next week. That we have been able to win these games has been due almost entirely to the excel- lent coaching of Mr. Chester Prouty of U. C. He has coached the team now for two seasons, and has more than proved the impossibility of getting a beter instructor in thc game. 51 OLLA PODRIDA : : BERKELEY HIGH One of the difficulties girls' athletics has always had to meet is the lack of support on the part ol the boys. Now, we are glad to say, that is in part being. overcome and the general interest in the game throughout the school seems to be improving steadily. Our latest game was with Stockton I-iigh on November 12th, where, with a score of 23-6, we found ourselves ahead. The team which then lined up was: I Goals-Isabella Brown fcaptaiuj, Zella Eddy. Centers-Nora Gallagher, Winona Moore. Guards-Grace Dudley, Virginia Greene. Other members who have played in several games and showed up well are Ella Marston, Marjorie Dudley, Norma Barhee, Ella Wall and Blanche Latta. V Gi rls' Basketball Team 52 i OLLA PODRIDA 2 BERKELEY HIGH Glennie By Carlos Howard, 'l0, Manager. ENNIS is a good deal of a dead sport on this side of the bay, for very little interest is shown in that branch of athletics either here or in Oakland. ln San Francisco, however, it is one of their chief sports. Why can't it be made one of our principal sports, also? A match was arranged with Oakland for October 20th, but on account of bad Weather was postponed and will be played some time soon. Although our team is composed of two scrubs, R. Lipman and Cordes, they easily showed their superiority over the other contestants for school honors. This fact promises a bright high school career for the two youngsters. A match was played with Lowell on October 27th, which resulted in a victory for Lowell in two straight sets. Foulks easily defeated Lipman, while Cordes was rather easy for the famous little Johnny Strachan. The Lowell team showed their experience from start to finish, while our boys were a little nervous at the start, and steadied down a little too late. 1 zfvi W-1 lewmwl js 53 By Mr. L. R. Smith. WORD about the noon concerts, past and to come. Special causes have contributed during the past term to make them of the greatest interest and success. First, they have been held in the new Assembly Hall, which has proved to be an ideal place for them. Nearly everyone who has given a program has spoken voluntarily of the delightful auditor- iumvg and, in fact, some of the singers fof wide experience, tooj have said they never enjoyed a place more for singing. I A Again, the students have taken a great interest in helping the man- ager out, not only giving concerts themselves, but also getting others to do so. They have shown their interest as a mass, too, when con- certs were given by our own students, and have shown great interest, also, when pupils from other high schools have appeared on the stage: for instance, when Captain Todd of the O. H. S. track team gave a violin recital. Another cause that has helped greatly is the voluntary proifer oi concerts by several of the best singing teachers around the bay. They have brought their best singers, and have shown a real and unselfish interest in making the noon concerts worth while to the students, and a great majority of the pupils have shown an enthusiastic appreciation of all this. The one thing bearing on the future more than any other is the possession of the Grand piano, which has been on the stage for a month by the kindness of Kohler and Chase. It begins to look as if we can make it our own. Its value to the future can be stated in a word: the manager lincls it incomparably easier lo get programs with such a piano than with the old one. 54 By Clifford Pettygrove, 'lG. AVING an abhorrence of the also received method of writ- ing up exchanges, we will lay aside the time-worn plan by which two or three pages are filled with a list of all the ex-- changes received during the term. Instead, we will try to present our readers with a general idea of the quality of the magazines received. Before going further, however, we wish to thank the few papers which have exchanged regularly with us. We can notice improve- ment in every one of our Usteadiesf' and we hope that we have profited also. We know of no more appropriate way of presenting the varied types of magazines in general than by direction. Across the hay from us dwells the Tiger, of Lick, a class A paper, but like the Lowell Calso of 'Friscol, it does not appear often enough. On this side, The Flamef' of Fruitvale, is our only exchange. Aegis, of Oakland, has utterly ignored us in spite of our efforts to scrape up a friendship. Acorn -well, she's from Alameda- Nuff sed. South of us is Fresno, where The Owln roosts. The Owl, however, is Wide-awake in all departments except the Joshes. The Skirmisherf' of Burlingame, and 'LPoly High, of Los Angeles, follow close onto The Owl in quality. The North is vcry well represented by Totem, of Seattle, and 55 OLLA PODRIDA : : : BERKELEY HIGH Totem, of Juneau, Alaskag Guard and Tackle, Stockton, and Review, Sacramento are above the average in quality, though not in size. East of us is truly a vast territory, but it is not very well repre- sented, at least from our observations. Bright spots, however, are quite visable to the naked eye.- The Oasis, Reno, Nevada, is one of the brightest. All Oasis needs to make her a star of the first magnitude is a cartoonist on the staff. Red and Black, of Salt Lake, Utah, is in the same Nhxf' Another paper worthy of mention is The Tender- foot, of Salida, Colorado, a small and struggling, but very deserving publication. Among our late arrivals is The Herald, of Atlantic City, N. There seems to be quite a bit of literary ability, but the paper as a whole is rather prosy. We think this is due to the lack of a Josh department and the accompanying cartoons. Review, Hamilton, Ohio, is af- flicted in much the same way, although they, at least, have a heading for that much sought-for department. Tocsin,H Santa Clara, Cal., puts forth all her artistic efforts on the frontispiece. Your special contributern surely condemns unjust accusation with a flaming pen. Pennant stealing seems to be catch- ing lately. Cascadillian,f' Ithaca, N. Y., brings up the standard of Eastern papers. It is far above the average.. A Double Steal is the first good baseball story that we have seen for some time. We also commend giving football a special department when the necessary space can be had. Outside all the good material is a fitting cover for a football num- ber. Cascadillian was kind enough to send us a separate picture of their husky football squad. The Tucsonianu is quite a large paper for a small school, Tuc- son High, Arizona. This large size can be accounted for when we realize that thefirst edition of the paper is not issued until November. The art work is not commendable. with the exception of the cover. The Gong, Escondido, California, contains a romantic story which is summed up in- the title, Oh, For a Chaperone. Extract: 'E.thel,' exclaimed Hubert fervently, catching the love light in her eyes, as he held her soft white hand in his, undisturbed by the blessed solitude, etc., etc. No cuts, either.

The work of our artists has, we think, been exceptionally good this year. To Harry Hanvey our thanks are especially due for his cartoons and department headings. Miss Sophia Aden worked more than any other on the department headings for the final edition, as well as laboring faithfully throughout the term. Harold Crow, Richard Stephens and Oscar Steele have also helped us considerably in cartoons. The other members of the art staff are also thanked for their consistent work. The members of the editorial staff have also worked consis- tently. Much credit is due to them. Robert Pendegast, S. M. Wyckoff, Jr., Theodore Grady, A. G. Weber, Walter Penniman, Bar- clay Adams, Clifford Pcttygrove, Miss Bessie Fiske, Miss Elanore Holland'and Miss Grace Jones have aided us greatly, but all on the staff are deserving of praise. Of those students not on the staff who have helped us, are Gilbert Sweet, Darrell Bogardus, Arthur Christie, William Hanford, Colis Mitchum and the literary contribu- tors to this final edition. The employees of the Reporter Publishing Co. are heartily thanked for their courteous treatment and for their efficient work- manship. They have shown great tolerance toward our amateurish mistakes, and have aided us immensely in learning the art of journa- lism, as far as we have learned it. That the cuts which have embellished our paper this term are of such an excellent grade is due to the fact that they are made by the Yosemite Engraving Company of Berkeley. The engravers have done innumerable favors for us during the term, and especially for the final. Mr. Dooley, the photographer. assisted us by his promptness and the excellence of his work. Mr. Dooley has been 0lla Pod- rida photographer for years. We wish to thank the executive committee for their liberality and interest in the paperg and also Clinton Kimberlin, circulation manager, who has done much to get thc paper to the subscribers promptly. Miss Percival and Mr. James were always obliging. We thank them gratefully. 58 WISE T510 TU 'IQHES WISQE 50 rrrur 5, asa!

As the year I906, in which we entered, was such a remarkable year, perhaps that accounts for our being such a remarkable class. Most of the older members ol the class remember the day when old Berkeley High pined and moaned, and creaked and groaned, and just kept from toppling over because of the class of '09 that had to graduate. Of course, no one ever called us scrubs, lor, to begin with, we were such a highly intellectual looking body that not even the Seniors dared greet us with such an epithet. W'ell we remember our first class meetings when William Goebel fbefore the time of long corduroysl stood on a box and called the meeting to order. Those were days when we all studied very hard indeed. and the whole class wrote wonderful ballads, which will go down in the annals of the High School. ln our junior year there was a great awakening. Some members of the class saw great possibilities before them, and on almost any rainy day such heroes as Marion Scott, Ainslee Campbell, and Ormond Smith could be seen racing through the Campus to the track, much to the astonishment of passers by. Other herocs such as Venus de Watkins and his ex-twin de Wiley were determining what they would do to Oak- land when they grew large enough to play football. Our third year went by all to quickly. Vlfe worried over Algebra, German and Chemistry and enjoyed English, while between times August Weisenhavern, the class musician, would soothe our nerves with his enchanting music. Our heroes won honors for Berkeley High during this year, and many will remember how Ruth Laird, Grace Jones and Evelyn Banker grew hoarse learning debates lor the Agora. We gave a dance in our third year, and all who were adept in the art and had not decided to become Methodist missionaries had a most glorious time. 6
