We are more than satisfied with the results of the appeal made to our many friends on the exchange list — in fact, to use the words of our ex-President, we are dee-lighted. The caricatures and stories of the September Tiger, from California School of Mechanical Arts, San Francisco, are ex- cellent. Thanks to the advertisements in the Poppy, Winters High School, and to them only, we were able to find from whence it came. We would suggest that they print, on the editorial page, the name of the city and school where the paper is issued. The general appearance of the June Sotoyoman, Healds- burg, is almost sickening. A more careful selection of type and fewer scare heads would improve the paper ' s appearance a hundred per cent. As it is, it resembles those hideous bul- letin boards one sees everywhere. The cover design of your October number, Lowell, San Francisco, is particularly appropriate ; also the Athletics and Josh headings. It is amusing to see that most of your Criti- cism column is adverse. We feel quite the reverse about you. The Review (June) from Lowell, Mass., contains some in- teresting stories, and an excellent josh column, guaranteed to cure the blues. The June Joshua Palm of Goldfield, Nevada, looks too much like an advertising pamphlet. However, the stories are inter- esting, the monologue on Higher Education being worthy of special mention. The bitter and sarcastic remarks made by the exchange de- partment of the Pandora (Hamilton Institute, New York) are entirely uncalled for. If sarcasm be desired, it had better be placed in the Josh column. 27

OLLA PODRIDA BERKELEY HIGH Swimming The swimming team, supported neither financially nor by that wonderful Berkeley High School Spirit that the platform speaker loves to tell us about at the rallies, tied for second place in the second annual Bay Counties League meet. Cogs- well won with thirteen points, and Berkeley and Fremont tied for second with ten points each. Berkeley showed her supe- riority in the water when Lindsay easily won the quarter, de- feating the nearest opponent by more than half a lap. Ber- keley ' s turn came again in the half mile, when Marston an- nexed five more points in an easily won race. Because of the fact that Parrish did not contest. Berkeley ' s team was not so fast as expected in the relay, and thereby lost a place which would have meant the winning of the meet. The entries from Berkeley were as follows : 50 yards, Thomas ; 100 yards, G. Lindsay: 220 yards, no entry; 440 yards, G. Lindsay; 880 yards. O. Marston. XOTE. — This Lindsay is not the tall, slender one. In a dual meet with Oakland Poly, the Berkeley High swimming team, supported by an exceptionally large rooting section, annexed another victory to its list. Berkeley took every first place and three thirds. We hope that the team will be supported by an equally strong rooting section when we meet Oakland High, in the near future. Score: Berkeley High. 33; Oakland Polytechnic, 17. Berkeley High also easily won from McKinley Prepara- tory High. 26
