AUDITORIUM, FRIDAY EV ' G, FEBRUARY 10th General Admission, 50c.; Students, 25c. 2 VOL. XXV. FEBRUARY 1911 No. 1 Pranks and Ghosts Gordon Luke, ' 11. Among my blessings is an uncle who is a good story- teller, and this is an acount of a boyhood prank in old Eng- land which he has told me over and over: When I was a boy ten years old there was great excite- ment in the family. It was because of the expected home- coming of my father, a merchant who captained one of his own ships, and whom my four brothers and I had been taught to respect to the utmost. This respect was increased b} ' the fact that he was home but three or four months of the entire year, as he spent the winters trading in the AA ' est Indies. Although stern and exacting, he was as fond of us boys as ever a father could be. He used to delight in letting us play horse with him by mounting his back and using his black whiskers for reins, and how his deep-sounding laughter v ould echo whene •er he would throw us ofif ! At last the anxious days — in which my mother kept gazing restlessly into the sky to determine the weather prospects, or across the harbor for the longed-for sails — were over, and my father ' s ship came safely into port. Then came feasts and good times a-plenty, with visits to the ship ' s storerooms to 3 OLLA POD RID A see and sample such delicacies as maple sugar, pineapples, dates and nuts, brought from America and the ' est Indies. After several weeks the ship was unloaded and the visits ceased. Then, with the new order of thing ' s, and we boys con- stantly under father ' s stern rule, we soon began to long for our former freedom, and anxiously awaited opportunities to perform pranks on the old deaf housemaid, or the foreign street venders, whenever we heard one of them shouting, ' On- yons ! On-yons ! Tuppence a dozen ! ' or the ragman, or the portly apple woman on the street corner. At last one night we heard father say something that made us prick up our ears and exchange significant winks and sly expressions full of meaning. It was the intelligence that father and mother were both going out to spend the evening, leaving the old deaf servant in charge. So, in an hour ' s time after they had gone, and we had been put to bed, mysterious sounds were heard, and in came Dick, my eldest brother, and Bernard, next in age to Dick, the hero and ringleader. And what a time we had ! First we hung a sheet upon the four posts of the old fashioned bed and dived through it from the dresser. Then we danced on the bed, admiring ourselves in the mirror, while our shadows also danced in a vague, fan- tastic manner on walls dimlv illuminated bv the light of a ship ' s lantern hanging by the door. Next we formed shadow pictures with our hands — a whole menagerie of animals and queer faces of old men. A suggestion was then made which received our instant, favor. It was the proposal that Bernard should make an exhi- bition of his bravery by climbing into the boiler, full of cold water, which stood in the kitchen. Poor Bernard shuddered at the thought, but he had no intention of injuring his repu- tation ; therefore he assented to endure the cold- bath. So anon there appeared at the top of the stairway five small figures dressed in white pajamas, the foremost being the hero and the second one carrying the lantern. 4 OLLA PODRIDA We descended the stairway, and when the hero climbed into the boiler we all uttered shouts of admiration (knowing that the deaf housemaid had long since retired ' , but we did not lealize the miseries of the poor hero in the cold water for sev- eral seconds; Then Dick helped him to crawl out, and we hastened back to the bedroom, leaving behind a damaging trail of water as a witness of our guilt. After much towel- lubbing and many unscrupulous slaps the hero was comfor- table again and we were ready for the next performance. But what was it to be? A ' e were puzzled for several minutes, until I happened to remember seeing father enter a room v hich we had named the Empty Room (although it was not empty, but merely unoccupied), during the day, and forgot to lock it again when he came out. This was our opportunity — one that we had always longed for ! : The room proved to be a veritable wonderland, full of an- cient swords and muskets, packing-cases and queer pictures.- Needless to say, we examined everything, and last of all,- began to explore the contents of the packing-cases. They contained all kinds of rich cloth — silks, laces and velvets ! We half feared that we might see the ghost of some smuggler arise and frighten us away. At last one of my brothers made a particular discovery, when from the center of a large folded gray silk mantle there dropped a number of yellow sheets of paper, covered with handwriting. At first we thought the handwriting was father ' s, but the letter began, ' Dear Eliza. ' Then we knew that it was a letter to Grandmother Eliza from our grandfather, who we had heard it said had been captain of a warship and revenue cutter which captured smugglers half a century before. We gave the letter to Dick, and this is what he read : ' Dear Eliza : Take particular pride in this trophy. I desire it to remain as a memento and heirloom, for it has a liistory. It was found in the captured ship Black Crow, which belonged to a band of men who were both smugglers and OLLA PODRIDA pirates. It is said to have been worn b}- their captain as a pirate ' s cloak until he was killed at the time of their capture. But I will not vouch for the rest of the story, that if it be not well hidden and covered by other things the slain man will tmd it in the night, put it on and haunt the place wherever he should find it. ' ' We did not stop to read more, for we had had enough of empty rooms, ancient relics, and stories of pirates and ghosts. So, tremblingly we all went into one room and the five of us got into bed together for company, leaving the lighted lan- tern hanging by the door to make things seem less dreadful. ■ ' Soon we heard many mysterious noises in the empty room. Horrors I A ' e realized that we had left the gray cloak uncov- ered ! ' The noise came closer and closer, and as it approached the door of the room we all hid our heads beneath the covers. Idle doorknob creaked, and we could hear the door slowly turning on its hinges. At that moment Bernard summoned i:p just enough courage to take one look from under the cov- ers, but he drew back again with an exclamation of terror. ' A e remained trembling for several minutes. Finallv we realized that the room was now totally dark. Then at last we questioned Bernard as to what he had seen. A ith sobs snd frenzied whispers he answered: ' The ghost — he put his long gray arm in through the door and grabbed the lantern. As he said this the door slov.dy opened and the room grew light again. We could hear him breathing. AA ' e felt him take hold of the bed covers. As it pulled them away from us, the ghost commanded, ' Out of bed. all of you I Indeed we did get out of bed, and hastened with alacrity to crawl under it. This was too much for the ghost, and he filled the room w ' ith peals of deep-sounding laughter. ' Oh. boys! he said. ' I am your father ' s spirit I It was father. OLLA PODRIDA A Pacifying Expedition Vlademar Rotheler, ' 13 Before I start with my story I have to tell you that you mustn ' t doubt its certainty, because the author himself saw it with his own eyes, and wants now to try to tell everything about it in English, though it is as easy for him as to swallow the hard stones. He hopes also that the readers will not be angry with him if they don ' t understand ever3 thing perfectly well. His Excellency General B , the commander of the thirty-second regiment of sharpshooters, stationed at K •, c. small town in eastern Siberia, was very much excited. He had just received a telegram from the chief of police of the nearest village, telling him that the peasants of that village refused to pay taxes and had insulted the tax collector. At the end of his telegram the chief asked His Excellency to send over some soldiers to put down the resistance. AVhat do you think about it? asked the general, address- ing himself and walking rapidly up and down his room. ' Those earthworms dare to disobey ! They dare to disobey the orders of the officials, and they even dare — they dare to insult the officials ! They must be ptuiished severely. And in the general ' s head was a ready plan for severe pun- ishment. The general pressed the electric bell. A few sec- onds later his first adjutant in full uniform entered, making a big noise with his spurs. He stopped at the door and saluted the general. Go to Captain G , said the general, and tell him to get his company ready to — to serve their Emperor and coun- try, concluded he, diplomatically. Yes sir, answered the young adjutant, who understood the meaning of this order very well, and instantly left the room. The general went to the other room to change his clothes. 7 OLLA PODRIDA Captain G had just finished his supper and was play- ing cards with the first and second lieutenants of his company, when they all heard a horse stamping. A minute later some- body w as knocking at the door. AA ' hom has the devil brought at such time of the evening? ' asked he. and went to open the door. The adjutant entered and pronounced in an official tone: His Excellency the commander of the thirty-second regi- ment commands Captain G and his officers to get their men ready to act ! Ready to act? questioned the captain. Yes sir, ready to protect the interests of the government. ' ' When? Right now. A ' here? I really don ' t know, but I think there must be something w ' rong at the village of K . All right. Shall we take extra cartridges with us? ' ' Yes. I suppose you ' ll have nice work there ; but don ' t lose your time, captain, for the general will be here soon. and with these words the adjutant saluted and went out. Three minutes after half past nine, the bedtime of the sol- diers of the sixteenth company, they were disturbed by the drum signal. Soon they were standing side by side in the yard, with their rifles, and the moonlight reflected on the steel of their bayonets as well as on the frozen snow. On the left l lank several soldiers were attaching two horses to the rapid- firing gun. At ten o ' clock the general arrived, inspected the company, and told the men that they were going to punish the rebels in the village of K . Then the captain com- manded, Left face! Forward march! and the whole com- pany, consisting of one hundred and twent} ' men Avith guns, was soon marching toward the little village, two or three miles lo the south. The general and the captain were riding on the horses at the head of the company. The cold was intense, and although they had warm clothes on. they felt its chilling 8 OLLA PODRIDA breath as they marched through the fields covered with snow. Soon they saw in the distance the houses of the village. No lights were to be seen, and everything seemed to be quiet. When they reached the first line of houses th company stopped. Two of the soldiers were sent to the house of the chief of police and the other village officials, to deliver to them the general ' s order to join the company immediately. In a very short time the officials arrived. Then the village was encircled by the chain of soldiers, the rapid-firing gun was placed on a neighboring hill, and then — Oh ! I shall never forget the next moment! The signal sounded, and the gun, together with the rifles of the soldiers, began to talk. The general stood near the gun, and I could hear him commanding, Aim ! Fire ! Soon the frightened people began to run out of the houses, women with crying babies on their arms, and falling on the snow, shot by the swift bullets. Horses and cows ran on the streets and were shot with their masters. And yet the silver moon was shining in the sky. Soon, by the order of the gen- eral, the whole village was set on fire, and the reddish light of the fire was like a funeral torch. The firing ceased. The officers consulted about further action. It was decided to wait tmtil the next morning. Next morning all the peasants were taken to the city prison and several days afterward executed. The village was pun- i ' hed. General B received a medal for bravery and Captain C was made a colonel. The pacifying expedi- tion was over. [Editor ' s Note. — The above incident is an actual experience in the life of a Russian boy who has been in this country seven months and is now a student in Berkeley High School. Pur- posely the English has been left in the quaint, idiomatic form in which the composition was handed in.] 4 Sunset The sun, receding bright, Changes bhie waves to gold ; then lowering light Alter the brilliant hue, and golden waves In ever-dark ' ning red, bespeak the coming night. Lowering still, through cloud attendants gay, It stoops to kiss farewell at close of day ; Then, like a wizard, vanishing from sight As darkness falls, it says, O Golden West, Once more, good night ! G. Luke, ' 11 10 The closing- number last term contained an account oi nearly all the concerts. The band concert was something fine, the climax of a long series of rehearsals. We owe much to Ir. Ernest LaSelle, for its occasional noon concerts are but a small part of the work the band is doing for the school. On Wednesday, December 14th, Miss Ruth Smith. ' a B. ]i. S. girl, and Miss Dorothy Brooks gave a piano recital that Vv-as received with great enthusiasm. The duets were particu- larly enjoyed. The ten minutes added to the noon period this term will be i: help to the concerts, for the time was too short. Among the important concerts of the near future is one promised by the famous Boys ' Band of the Lockwood School, Oakland. Mr. Herbert von Meyerinck has promised a clarionet recital, ] Ir. Kurt Steindorf one for the violin. Several piano recitals of high class are booked, among them one by Miss Lois Porter of the King Conservatory of ] Iusic, San Jose. All will remember how she took the school by storm last February. We are also looking forward to a program by the B. H. S. Boys ' Quartet, to be given in a few weeks. 11 PERCY J.

Since that time a system of stu- dent control has been inaugurated which corresponds to a great extent in form and execution to the Federal Government of the United States. The crying need of Berkeley High School we believe has been supplied. In his remarks to the graduating class of December, 1910, the Hon. Beverly Hodghead made the statement that the only leason that the democratic spirit of our Union would never develop oligarchical tendencies, and finally end in a monarchy, was because we had founded our doctrine on the correct basis, h.nd this basis was the education of the masses. Berkeley High School is one of the institutions in which the masses are being educated, in which the genius of the .American government is supposedly being inculcated into the ' ery hearts and lives of the growing young men and women, the future citizens of the United tSates. AVithin the walls of rhe educational institutions of our land are supposed to dwell miniature democracies. The government pa3 ' s millions annu- ' lly to support institutions in which to educate its young to Lecome democratic citizens later in life. And yet too often it is the case that these institutions become the most monarchical establishments of our country. Often this condition is due to a despotic supervision of the school ' s affairs by the facult} ' . lore often it is due to the con- trol of affairs by a few students who by their popularity have placed themselves at the head of their fellows. Both of these cases have existed at times in Berkeley High, and too often has a deplorable condition of aft ' airs been reached, due to the limited voice of the students in the government of the school. A e believe now that a solution to the problem of student control in Berkeley High has been found. AA ' e believe that the system which the students have decided to put into eft ' ecr this term is the right one, as far as the working and the vdti- 13 OLLA PODRIDA mate result is concerned. The only question in our minds is, will the students give their undivided support to the plan? The success of the plan depends entirely upon the support given to it. Not only is this true, but the nature of the system is such that it requires every student ' s support. Just as surely as a man becomes a supporter of the institutions and laws of the United States when he becomes of age, just so surely must every student in Berkeley High School become a supporter of the new system of student control when he enters school this spring. It has been said by some that the new system is a very cumbersome affair, and that in operation it will prove too intri- cate and complex. To many it would doubtless appear so, on only hearing the reading given at one of the student assem- blies of the latter part of last term, but upon closer study the adequacy and simplicity of the plan are its striking features. Finall} ' , let every student make the new plan of student control a success from every standpoint. Tho Olla Podrida joins with the entire school in welcoming the class of December, 1914. A full year has passed since a freshman class has entered school, and because of this fact you are all the more Avelcome. AVe have missed you, with your boyish pranks, your awk- ward ways, your green and innocent appearance, and at the same time we have missed your clean-spirited actions, your refreshing looks and your loyal support. In fact, it is a notice- able truth that since the inauguration of the new system of grading in the public schools the activities of the High School have gone steadily downward. This, to a large extent than most might believe, has been due to the absence of a freshman class. We have had less material on which to draw for the teams, we have lacked the necessary financial support, and above all, we have missed the moral support which comes from a freshman class. Fellow students of December. 1914, set a standard right 14 OLLA PODRIDA row for your high school career. Have an anil:)ition to be somebody and to do something. Have an ideal of some kind for which to strive. If your ambition is to be come an athletic hero, don ' t stop when the disappointments of the first year cast a black cloud over your ideal, but press on. strain every sinew, and do not be satisfied until your ambition is realized, until you are the crack half-miler of the State, until you are the football captain, or whatever position you covet. If, on the other hand, you covet political ambitions, strive for the best the school has to offer. A word of practical advice. Don ' t in your first year aim for the higher positions, but first prove your worth by fulfilling the duties of a minor office or by loyally supporting the activities of the school. The school is watching your actions, and if you perform the lesser duties well, your worth is surely going to be recognized, and in your later years they are going to entrust you with greater power in the government of the school. And finally, but indeed not the least, if your ambition is to gain scholastic honors, if your ambition is to occupy that much ridiculed and yet secretly coveted position of the ' ' dig, a name of honor, do not let the pleasanter, more showy side of high school life divert your attention from your ideal, but go on in spite of the trying tasks to perform, make your stan- dard a well done, perfectly finished lesson, and yours will be an inestimable reward. Ambition in itself is no sin. It is only when you have an ambition that does not look up that it becomes sinful. Set up a high standard, use every legitimate means to reach it, and you will be justified in the eyes of your faculty and fellow students. Class of 1914, we believe in you. AVe are glad to welcome vou. 15 Student control of student affairs, to be tried out in the most up-to-date manner and along the broadest lines, is at last a fact in Berkeley High. This semester of 1911 promises the culmination of a long-wished for state of aft ' airs, and the balance of student power rests with the students collectively ' d.-nd individually. You have a government that should stir your pride, lor it is essentially of. by, and for yon. hat- ever errors it makes are a reflection upon you : likewise, what- ever glory or honor comes to it. that belongs to you. The opportunity is early presented to you to demonstrate to those whose whole-hearted interest is focused upon you, just Avhat sort of citizens, men and women, you are going to make, for right here in your high school world is the practical side of government at your disposal. Your attitude toward gov- ernment and discipline in a local Avorld will be an index to your character, attitude and integrity oiu in the world of men. In after life, if you would have your one thousand fellow students in High remember you as one who strove to maintain justice, fairness and common manliness or womanliness, ' i: would be well to uphold, further and defend the government that is of vour own creation. 16 IS IT WORTH IT? This is what you get for the One Dollar Student T)ues: The Olla Podrida. Six Basketball Games. Six Baseball Games. Two Track Meets. Swimming Meets and Tennis Games. Membership in the Associated Students. This is what you cannot do, unless a member of the Associated Students. You cannot: Participate in Athletics. Serve on the Pod Staff. Hold an Associated Students Office. Hold a Class Office. Serve on any School Committee. Vote at Student Body Elections, Be a Candidate for Any Office Next Term. In fact, you are not in it unless a member. IS IT WORTH 17 IT ?  i (jAhr ATi(in This term the Fornm will face a crisis. To speak plainly, the Forum consists almost entirely of high seniors — in fact, there are but two or three members who are not members of that class. This fact indicates the necessity of introducing -x great deal of new material if the society is to continue its ex- istence after next term. Naturally this material must come from the lower classes. The Forum needs ten. possiljly fifteen, really nearnest fellows who desire to get some good out of the society. A ' e have limited the membership list to twenty-five in order to be able to produce a really helpful organization, and those fellows who really want to help will not be disappointed. This term Berkeley High again debates her old rival Oak- land. AA ' e have been informed that the tryouts for the term will take place shortly, so boys and girls prepare. Although not the Forum team, the team which debates Oakland is usually a product of the organization, so naturally all members are interested. The debate this year promises to be a good one. The two teams will be about evenly matched, and it will be a fight from the start. For a debate can be a fight, contrary to the consensus of opinion about the school, and it can be a good fight. This is the first debate for an entire year, so get interested — and help. 18 OLLA PODRIDA Agora The Agora Literary and Debating Society, one of the fore- most organizations of the Berkeley High School, was orga- nized in ' 06 by a small band of enthusiastic workers, in order to extend debating and give permanency to forensic effort. The purpose for which this society was organized is cer- tainly a splendid one, but the benefits that have developed since its organization have been far greater than many of us give it credit for. There is no student activity which can at any time be more interesting and at the same time instruc- tive, than debating ; and there is no way by which a student can be more successful and can better develop his or her for- ensic powers than by membership in either of the two debat- nig societies existing in the High School. Debating prepares the student for straightforward public speaking, overcoming the habit of hesitancy. It banishes all traces of self-conscious- ness and awkwardness. The Agora is under the auspices of the Debating League of Californ ia. This league is comprised of the debating socie- ties of most of the prominent schools of central California, such as Lowell High, Mission, San Jose, Martinez, Humboldt Evening High, AVashington Evening High, Santa Clara High, Berkeley High, and California Institute for the Blind. These schools contest with each other for silver trophy cups, med- als, etc. The Agora will debate San Jose High February 11th, on the subject, Resolved, that the several State Legislatures should ratify the Eederal amendment providing for an income tax. This is one of the leading questions of the day, and should arouse a great deal of interest. The winner of this debate will have the privilege of meeting Lowell High for the Stanford University Trophy Cup. Debating, conducted as it should be, and as the Agora has tried to foster it, gives to the student Qourage and self-reliance, and lays the foundation for higher and noble r ideals. 19 OLLA PODRIDA Chess Club Six months ago there was no such thing as a chess club within the school. Now it is one of the strongest organiza- tions we have. For some reason, notwithstanding that chess brings the highest powers of the mind into use, an organiza- tion for the sole purpose of playing and advancing the game bad never before been considered. A visit to one of the play meetings will convince you of the success of the club and the popularity of chess as an intellectual amusement. One person has said that chess is a form of dissipation that is spreading with a remarkable degree of rapidity. However, the general belief is that it is a game highly instructive to those who participate therein. If anyone in the schools is desirous of learning this game, he or she may obtain very apt teachers by letting the president of the organization know. On January 19 a regular business meeting was held, at ■ which officers were elected for the present semester. Laurie Steinegger was chosen president ; he is probably the strongest player in the club. Kimberlin is vice-president — a man who made a very high standing in the recent tournament. Stanley Arndt is now secretary-treasurer. He is a strong man. The two teachers of chess, apopinted by the president, are Eugene Sturgis and Bruce Anthony. In the school election of last semester Bruce Anthoney was chosen chess manager for the term. Anthoney is a great student of the game and should make an excellent manager. It is hoped that a large number will learn the game and join the organization this coming semester. 20 OLLA PODRIDA The Greek Club The Greek Club was organized on the twenty-first of Sep- tember, 1908, by Miss Clayes of the classical department. The principal object of the organization was to call back to life the rapidly waning interest in classical subjects, but as this was not the only object, I will here recount a few facts from its history. Immediately after its organization the members of the club began work on the production of a dramatization from the first, second and third books of Homer ' s Iliad, to be staged in Jan- uary of the following term. The first public undertaking of the Greek Club was in September, 1908, when Professor Edward Bull Clapp, head of the Greek department of the University of California very kindly consented to deliver a stereopticon lec- ture under the auspices of the club. Professor Clapp spoke on his recent travels in Greece, and greatl interested his audi- ence. During the rest of the fall term of 1908, and during every term since then, we have been favored with lec- tures by various members of the University faculty. We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to Professors Clapp, Allen, AVashburn, Linforth and Richardson, all of the University classical department, who have entertained us on various occa- sions with very interesting lectures. On January 29tli the club produced the scenes from Homer, wdiich we mentioned above, with great success. During the tall term of 1910 the club members made a trip to the Affili- ated Colleges in San Francisco, where Dr. Washburn explained the archaeological collection in the museum there. The club had enjoyed several visits to the museum in Berkeley, where the collections were explained by University men. In No- vember, 1910, the club entertained the graduating class at an uiformal reception and produced a dialogue from Homer. We look forward to a third production of the sort this term. 21 OLLA PODRIDA Glee Club The Glee Club, as reorganized last term after an interval of a year, under the leadership of IMiss Victorine Hartley, di- rector of music in the Berkeley schools, will continue its work this year. There were at first only twenty-three or twenty-four mem- bers, but when strains of music were heard by some other stu- dents musically inclined, coming from the Assembly Hall dur- ing the fifth period, the call was too strong to resist, and the membership grew until after elimination and balancing the parts there were thirty voices to carry on the good work. On December 10th a concert was given in the Auditorium, which, considering the length of time the club had sung to- gether, was a decided success. There was a very good audi- ence, even though it was a cold, rainy night. However, this year we are organized fifty thousand strong and intend to do good work- — work that will not only be a pleasure and excel- lent training to the members, but will also prove very enjoy- able to the listener. e already have songs well worth listening to in our reper- toire — songs to B. H. S., southern melodies, national hymns, comic encores, etc. — and we intend to enlarge our collection. There has been some talk of a tour of the central part of the State during the spring vacation. If this is realized, there i;: a lot of work to be done in connection with it. There is an excellent opportunity for those who are. or are not, deep in athletics to come out with their voices and join us. A e shall need more men, and as there is some new material in the school at this time we hope to welcome some of the new voices into the club. In view of the fact that there are so many activities with the student is called on to support, we intend to give concerts that will be free to the student body. 22 OLLA PODRIDA The Band The band is looking forward to another such successful season of musical activity this term as has been its fortune to enjoy in the past. Thus far the band has progressed rap- idly and steadily, although at times suffering losses in its mem- bership which would have put older organizations of like nature down and out. But the B. H. S. never-say-die spirit which pervades the school did not forsake the old guard members of the band, and they have still kept things going in spite of all difficulties. A great amount of work is ahead of the band this year. According to present plans, the band, with the contemplated High School Show, is to be one of the attractions of the Native Sons Celebration, which will be held during the latter part of May. This engagement is but one on the long list of rallies, games ' and meets at which the band is scheduled to play. To fill this schedule creditably will require constant rehearsing. At the outset this term the band is crippled in the cornet and bass divisions, and new material will have to be trained for these sections. There are many boys here who could learn to fill these and other positions, but who stay away — in fact, there are even good cornetists in school now who plead off on one excuse and another when asked to aid the band. The stu- dents at large can, by using their influence, help the band in such cases and thereby increase its useful membership. Another situation in the band problem is the fact that the high school musician of today soon becomes the graduate of tomorrow. Gaps are made in the ranks every term, and unless the lower classes furnish more material than they have, Ber- keley High is going to be looking for a band that is not. Think this over, all of you, especially the first and second year men, and then those who can, come around to our meetings with instruments and help in person, leaving those who remain, to provide the encouragement and do the boosting which is so pecessary for the life of the organization. 23 The coming ' spring track season certain! looks very bright. One does not have to exaggerate facts in order to arrive at this conclusion. The meet with San Jose appears to be the only contest in which the final outcome might be gloomy for Berkeley High. Eight veterans of last seasons victorious team have re- turned to school. These men are : Captain Ellis is a very strong man in the 440 and the relay. AA ' ithout his help the outcome of the season would be doubtful. Cleverdon is without doub ' he best high school pole- vaulter about the bay. Ele wiL ... ily be the winner of first honor in this event. Clark has the reputation of being the fastest 440 man in the State. He will be a tower of strength in the relay. He was captain of the Los Angeles High School track term last spring. Brown, Berkeley High ' s invincible shot-putter, Avho has carired away more than one first place, will be present once more. Ingram is expected to repeat his brilliant performance in the mile by starting our big meets ofif right, as he did la t season. Vilas, who carried away first honor for B. H. S. last season, should easily repeat his past performance. Gibbs, who traveled through a very gritty mile for us in the B. C. A. L. last spring, is a most likely second in that event this semester. 24 OLLA PODRIDA Ostrander is expected to be a point-winner in the high jump. Now anybody can see, from the numbers of veterans who will represent Berkeley High School this season, that there is a great opening for sprinters, distance men, hurdlers, and men in the held events. Because a certain event has an old-timer to guard it is not a good reason why some new men cannot make the team in that work. One man is able to carry off only one medal at a time. This season will be a record-breaker for meets, and under the new system it promises to be the most exciting and inter- esting season that Berkeley High has ever experienced. On February 25 there will be the interclass meet. This is to be the tryout for the team, the members who will repre- sent B. H. S. on track this season being picked from the point- winners of this meet. On ] Iarch 4 there will be a meet with San Jose, which promises to be very close in almost every event, with Berke- ley running a shade ahead. April 8 is the date set for the Stanford Interscholastic. This event, which is held annually by the Stanford student body, has always been the biggest high school meet in Cali- fornia. On April 28 and 29 the University of California is going to give the first annual Pacific Coast Interscholastic Track Aleet. which is to be held on the U. C. cinder path. Representatives Irom the principal high schools of the Pacific Coast will com- pete. These are the meets which are scheduled at this early date. The date for the Oakland-Berkeley dual meet and the B. C. A. L. meet have not yet been decided upon. The Oakland dual meet will most likely take place in the middle of March: Mr. Lowell has offered his valuable services to the team, and with his help and the good material in the school, the coming track season promises to be a most successful one for Berkeley High. OLLA PODRIDA Baseball Baseball has always been a popular activity in this school, and the outlook for the coming term is exceedingly bright. Before disbanding last season the team elected Les- lie Dent captain. Babe Dent has filled the position of catcher for three years and is without doubt the most pop- ular man on the team. Babe stands for a square deal, and every man who comes out for the team is sure of a fair trial. From the team of last year six veterans are attending school and they, in company with Bert AA ' est who played on the ' 08 team, make the forecast for a successful season very bright. Mr. Wirt will coach the men and with this material on hand he will undoubtedly form a team that will defeat Oak- land. Last year Oakland defeated us in two hard fought games, and ■Mr. Wirt has adopted the expression Beat Oakland or bust. There are four places on the team va- cant, and every fellow in school is urged to try for the team. A second team is also to be started. There is a chance for everybody, so come out and try. Manager V alentine has already arranged games with Mission, Lick. Lowell, Fremont, and Cogswell. There will be two or more games every week, so the students will see plenty of baseball. During the mid-term vacation there is a chance of a trip through the Sacramento Valley. The grounds at Milvia and Carlton will again be used. During the fall of 1910 light practice was held, and sev- eral games were played. Among the new men who played, Roberts and Clayton showed up well and will probably be heard from this spring. The following men have already signified their inten- tion of coming out for baseball : Montgomery, Hale, Grif- fiths, Coleman, Lynch, Vndreason, Hawel, Forbes, Dygert, and Hardy. 26 OLLA PODRIDA Basketball Caliente means hot stuff in Spanish and that is what our basketball team is going to be this year. It is rapidly ap- proaching a condition which is sure to give Oakland High a warm reception when the two teams meet sometime in Feb- ruary. Our team this year is fast, extraordinarily fast. Their over and under-hand passing is fast and accurate, while their goal shooting team work and trick plays leave little to be desired along that line. Every night finds them hard at work passing, shooting goals and fighting for the ball. Every attention is being paid to the condition of the men and owing to the rubbing and careful attention which each receives they are rapidly round- ing into such fine physical condition that sviccess seems writ- ten in every phase of their work. Berkeley High is confident, very confident this year, but the confidence is not the kind that breeds laziness and under- valuation of their opponents. They are confident because they believe that they have the best team that has ever rep- resented Berkeley High on the basketball court and they are right — they have. AVe might call it a machine, a ma- chine which having assembled is rapidly approaching a rhythmic unison as crudeness and newness are being rapidly worn away. Every one interested in basketball at Berkeley High deeply regretted that Mr. Rogers was obliged to leave Ber- keley because of ill health. Mr. Rogers ' place has been taken by Merlin Jackson, a former member of the Stock- ton All Stars, who have been the champions of California for years. His heart and soul are with the team, and he pre- dicts that Berkeley High will be the champions of the State. We have the players and the coach to fulfill this prediction. All that is needed is the support of the school and we are sure that we will get it. A. and B. Clubs The Song of Their Track Meet (Apologies to Longfellow) John Evans ' 11 Professor G. X. Brink, the mighty, He. the greatest educator. Stood upon the stage at High School, Stood, and spoke thus to the students: ■ Fellows of the A. and B. clubs, ] Ieet tomorrow in a field day. ] Ieet upon the U. C. oval. And they met. some odd five hundred ]Met and struggled there together, Met and struggled there for honors. On the California oval. And old Sol, the sun. laughed at them. Laughed at all the funny creatures, All the strange, misshapen figures ; And the trees, the Eucalyptus. Swayed and moaned in desperation ; From their branches shrieked the linnet. Shrieked and laughed, too. at the runners. Some were large of head with study. OLLA PODRIDA And their bodies frail and skinny. Some were brown as is a berry. Others pale and white as milk is. All arrayed in multicolors. Were these odd five hundred students. All the colors of the rainbow. Ever moving, inixing, changing. On the bleachers sat ' the rooters. Sat the girls of Berkeley High School ; Some for A club, some for B club, Ever yelling, screeching, giggling. And at two, the word was given ; Poppy Clarkie, mighty hunter. Hunter of all scalps in Math. — time, AVas announcer of the races ; And he spoke with such a slowness That the first word was forgotten. E ' er another one was uttered. So they lined up for the first race. Billy Wirt, Big Chief of A club, C. E. Lowell, chief of B club, Shook the hands of all the members. Bade them forth and gather honors. And around the U. C. oval, ' Round and ' round in endless circles. Ran the members of the A club. Ran the members of the B club. Each distinguished by a color, Some by green, and some by yellow, Some by red, and some by purple ; And they ran with such a slowness, . And so many heats there were. That the sun sank low and lower And went down behind the gum trees. And the stars came out, and faded, As the moon sailed up from eastward. OLLA PODRIDA From the blue hill- tops, From the blue hill tops of CA ening ' . Still, upon the U. C. oval. Ran around in endless circles, lembers of the A. and B. clubs- Ran and jumped and threw the javelin, In the cold chill air of night time. And when dawn broke, crisp and frosty,. All the rooters frozen stiff were All the girls of Berkeley High School, Frozen stiff ' and hard as rock is. And the sun warmed and re dved them. And they ' rose and yelled and rooted, For their favorite — A. or B. club. Once again to west the sun set; And again the moon, fair Luna. Laughed upon them from the heavens. Laughed upon the shivering ' wretches, Running, jumping, in the moonlight. And above, in corkscrew circles. Swung the bird of prey, the aer ' plane, AVatched and waited for the fallen. Swooped, and took them home and fed them. And the sun again at rising. Thawed and warmed the frozen rooters. So this day the field meet ended. Ended the greatest of all track meets ; Two whole days and nights it lasted ; But the score was not kept count on, For the Pale Face. Poppy Clarkie, Had to go home and rock the baby. In the land of the hereafter! When 3 ' ou meet the sun and moon gods,. Ask of each the part it saw. And, in adding these together, Thuswise only may you know the Side that won the . .-B. track meet. 30 December Issues Acorn (Alameda, Cal.) — You spoil a fine paper by your inconsistency. Your exchange editor says Above all things, the covers both front and back, should be free from this commercialism (advertisements). Yet your covers are fuil of advertisements. How about it? Adjutant (Mt. Tamalpais Military Academy) — Where are your cuts? Otherwise you have a good paper. Breeze (Gushing Academy, Mass.) — Ads. and athletics get your most valuable space. Clintoria (Clinton, Iowa) — Your literary department can not be criticised, but should football be given eleven-twelfths of the atheltic space. Cogswell (Cogswell High) — There is nothing to find fault with in your Xmas number. Your Technical depart- ment and Girls ' Notes are worthy of imitation. Echo (Santa Rosa High) — Your paper is one of the best literary papers we have seen, but where are your school activities? Your cover seems rather out of place. Echoes (Fort Lee, N. J.) — Your poetry is good, and your Editor ' s Desk is clever, but what school do you represent? Guard and Tackle (Stockton High) — You deserve con- gratulations on your fine paper. The editorial on cribbing is what we need in school papers. Madrona (Palo Alto High) — You have a live paper. We can find no fault with it. Porcupine (Radley High) — You are a great booster for your city. We admire your spirit. 1 OLLA PODRIDA Oracle (Kern County High) — You deserve to be con- gratulated on getting out such a neat and attractive paper with so few ads. Red and Black ( Salt Lake City ) — Your cover design is all right to waste time in making, but a school paper is no place for it. Russ (San Diego) — Your stories are good, your depart- ments are fine, and your advertisements where they belong. You ' re all right. Skirmisher ( St. Alatthews Academy. Burlingame, Cal.) — The few cuts that you have are fine, but you need more. Your Can You Imagine? page is clever and no ■el. Totem (Lincoln High. Seattle, AA ' ash) — If your first five pages were left out, you would have a good paper. Ads. don ' t belong there. Tocsin (Santa Clara, Cal. ) — You have one ' of the most ar- tistic cover designs we have seen, and your paper is short, but good. Your Xooz is novel and amusing. Trident ( Santa Cruz, Cal. ) is another fine appearing paper. A e wish to join with the editors of the Tritlent and the Acorn in condemning front-page advertisements. If a school paper is primarily a business venture, then ads. l elong there, but a school paper is to help literary and school activities, and to join the students closer together in one central in- terest. Editors and managers, if you can ' t support a month- ly paper without ads. in front, then issue it semi-monthh . Quality before quantity.

Anyhow he is getting the swell head since he has been appointed supreme judge of the judicial board. I ' ll get even Avith him yet.. Thursday, January 19 Gumshoe Rushforth simimons Earl to appear before the judicial board for tardiness. Afternoon of Same Day Scene — Judicial courtroom. Judge Carrol Kauffman on bench. Earl Kauffman in the dock with many other law-breakers. Court Reporter — Earl Kauffman. (Earl steps to the bench.) Judge Carrol Kauffman (cross-examining) — AA ' hat time did you get up this morning? E. K. — I guess you ought to know. ! Laughter in court room.) J. C. K. — Silence in the court room. AMiy were you tardy? E. K. — AA ' ell. the power was oft on the College avenue line for a half hovir. so how could I help being late? J. C. K. — I started to school the same time that you did and yet I was not late. E. K. — Yes. but you met a girl and walked. Xo such li;ck is mine. (Laughter.) 34 OLLA PODRIDA J. C. K. — The jury will render their verdict. (A verdict of guilty is given.) The sentence is one hour in the deten- tion class. That Earl ' s anger is kindled can be seen by the unusual redness of his face. He turns on his brother, but before he strikes he feels the invisible hand of the law holding him back. He pauses a moment, then turns away in disgust, saying Well, I guess if you say so I shall have to do it, and disappears through the court room door. Five Minutes Later. Great confusion and noise outside the door in the hall- way. The door opens. Earl heads a crowd of six boys who walk into the room chain-gang fashion and with much turmoil and jocularity, fill one of the benches. No atten- tion is paid to them at first, but soon Judge Kaufifman spys his brother and calls out, What do you want? E. K. — W ell I want to say something when I get a chance. Judge K. — Say on. E. K. (growing excited and gesticulating with his right arm) — Here I have brought six witnesses who will testify that the College avenue cars did not run for half an hour ; won ' t you, fellows ? Justice Wheeler (interrupting)— Ah think you had betta appeal to a higher court, don ' t you know. E. K. — What higher court is there? Judge K. — There is no higher court. The verdict of the jury will stand. Earl and his confederates depart in confusion and as a Parthian shaft Earl calls out, I ' ll get you at three o ' clock. Three p. m. Judge Carrol Kaufifman goes home surrounded by sev- eral of his gumshoes. Earl remains one hour in room 9. Moral. Two brothers at home are worth one on the judicial board.
