A ALTER KEXXEDY, Assistant 6 . .. Editorial A WORD TO SENIORS Senior Play, the Ball, and then graduation, and our school days at Berkeley High are over. Some of us will go on to college, others into some other line of work, but to all of us the chang ' e has a common meaning. It means that we are entering upon a new and larger sphere, whether it be that of college or business, and that from now on, we will be brought face to face with life as a more serious proposition than it has ever l een to us before. In facing any hard problem, or undertaking any large task, the first thing we need is a definite plan on which to work. The contractor in under- taking to build a house, would be sadly at sea without the architect ' s draw- ings, and, in the same way, a general at the outset of a campaign must have some definite plan of action laid out for himself, or his chances for success are small indeed. We have come to the place where we must face our great problem — how to make the life which hss been given us to live, happy and worth the living. For after all, if we only stop to consider, this is the ultimate aim of each one of us. Wealth, success, honor, — we seek them, yes, but not as an end, merely as a means to the goal toward which we all work — happiness. This then, is our problem and the question immediately arises : What shall be our working plan? What method can we adopt which will insure for us lasting happiness and enable us. when we are through to say. It has been worth while. In only one way can we achieve this result, in the highest and fullest degree ; not by making the main business of our lives our own personal gain, but by striving to better the cond ition of those about us — by dedicating our lives to the service of our fellow men. This is not an idle and unfounded assumption ; to prove it we need only to look about us. Our daily lives are full of examples of the great truth, that perfect satisfac- tion in life can only come from service. Most of us have in our homes, a mother, whose life is an example of the deepest and truest happiness, bought by years of unselfish service to her family. For her, other pleas- ures are as nothing compared to the joy she has in working for her children and watching their developement. Some of us have fathers, wdiose service is just as valuable in the office or in the home, and just as well paid in that true and lasting joy, the reward of unselfish service. We all know people who, though they seldom do anything which we would think of as being fun, are yet always happy and cheerful. Why? Simply because they have found the secret of true happiness — doing their work faithfully, and being ever ready, when the opportunity presents itself, to do something for an- other. 7 Few of us can ever render any such great service as did Lincoln for in- stance, dedicating his great Hfe to proving the proposition that all men are created equal. but each one of us. in the sphere in which he lives, has an opportunity for service which, if neglected, will go undone, if done, will bring happiness to us as well as to those we serve, and, above all. give us the feeling that our life has been worth while and that, for our having journeyed here, the world is just a little better than it would have been with- out us. Let us then, fellow class-mates, as we leave Berkeley High behind us, take with us this great lesson, more important than any we can learn in our class rooms, that the highest prize is not for him who seeks, but for him v ho serves, for him wdio gives rather than for him who receives. r| THANKS getting out this issue of the Pod, many difficulties have j y been met. That these handicaps have been overcome and a creditable Pod gotten out, is due largely to the help we have received from various sources. First, we would mention Aliss Grace Henley, stafif adviser, whose constant help has made our task much lighter and pleasanter. That the art work is one of the strongest features of the paper is due largely to the valuable help and advice of Miss Marshal. We have tried to show our appreciation of the help of Mr. Paul Evans, by dedi- cating this book to him. To Mr. Lederer. Mr. Street, and Mr. Zeus, the printers, we owe perhaps our largest vote of thanks. Their kindness in helping us through difficulties has made this book possible. In the same way, Mr. Pausch of the Commercial Photo Engraving Co., has gone out of his way to oblige us. Without the help and, co-operation of Gaylord Cooke, our manager, we never could have succeeded. As for the stafif, they have worked faithfully and well. If you like the book give them the credit. Where I Dream L pon the forest ' s carpet, there I lay. My gaze intent upon the running stream ; The arching trees above shut out the day ; The glassy surface of the creek was green ; The buzzing of the bee, the blue jay ' s scream, The far-ofT cooing of the turtle dove All added to my happy summer dream — Among the things of nature that I love. GLADYS PARTRIDGE. 8 A Phantasy IT IS difficult to tell why I know so much about my Castles in Spain. Yet who should know better how to describe them than myself who holds the key to all of them? My friend, it is hard to bring one ' s finest and most private Castle in Spain, or anywhere else, before the unblinking, star- ing gaze of the public ; but corne, help me to behold and I shall take you to my Spanish villas. . . . We draw near. Our eyes are caught and held by the sight of a monstrous building of gray stone arising from a dry. rocky hollow. The roar as of a thousand waterfalls is heard; around the bleak turrets whistle chill winds. Liroken pennants stream from its walls and a mass of tarnished armor litters the path. It is alone, desolate. Behold, my friend, this is my Castle of Dead Desires and Broken Thoughts, the Castle of the Past. I shall give you the key, go and explore its halls. . . . . . Why do you look so pale? That gostly figure in the tattered garb, with lean fingers and wailing voice is nothing b ut the shadow of a broken friend- ship. You say the walls are chill. They are and should be. They are drip- ping with the tears of all the sorrows of a life. They are clothed in the black of lost dreams. But come, this black castle of mine does not appeal. 9 Close your eyes my friend, ah! — where are you now? Laugh, there, that is right. A crystal castle glittering in the sunshine is before you. There are no high stone walls here, a large, low, rambling castle this. About its base grow flowers, the wondrous colors of which reflect upon the shining walls, their perfume floats upon a soft spring breeze, and the air is sweet, moist and warm. From this castle ' s walls fly brightly colored pennants. Fountains send their spray as high as the highest pennant floats, where sud- denly it breaks and melts away in mists like fairy figures. Birds sing, fawns and other timid animals move within the shadows of my garden walls. This, my friend, is the Castle of Accomplishment. Enter. See, happy moments snatched at the height of achievement line the wall. Life ' s friendships laugh and sing in every room. You, my friend, will live here too. and we shall dream another building into being, you and L A niat is that wavering shadow on the horizon ? I do not know. It is a castle of mine but still I have never entered it. Many times have I ridden toward it with a sad heart, many times with laughter, but most often with only questioning. I have been pushed back by those shadows which issue always from its door. I meet the shadows in reality later but what this castle holds is still a mystery. I only know it is the hand of Fate that beckons me toward it and is the hand of God that draws me back, for, my friend, that castle is the . . . Future. I do not know, I dare not guess what it will hold, so come, the Future waits, the present is here. Let my dream castles be your dream castles. — your Castles in Spain my Castles in Spain, and let be so until the Gate of the Castle of the Future clangs down upon one of us, and all our dreams fall apart forever. I wished one day some power would come to me, A gift by means of which myself Fd see, As to the watching world I seem to be. And strange to say, a fairy came my way. To grant to me the wish Fd made that day. And oh! it filled my soul with blank dismay! For as I looked, oh, how my pride did fall ; Aghast. I staggered back against the wall. The world was not aware of me at all ! L. L. CRITTENDEN Desire INEZ KEOUGH, ' 13. 10 IN OLD — MONTEREY RAHELIO CASTRO, swinging shut the heavy green door of El Adobe behind him, stepped out into the narrow white walled street, wdiich faded out at either end into the dusk. He nervously flipped away his cigarette and seemed confused and midecided, listening to the sounds of con- viviality within. A moment later he swung himself onto his horse and dashed away down the echoing street. At the foot of Alvarado he caught the sharp smell of the sea and a fleeting glimpse of the smooth glinting bay through the arches of the Custom-House. The place was hung with many lanterns and a few graceful white figures moved about the galleries ; tonight was the reception to the Comandante. Castro did not slacken his speed, however, but swerved up a side street and past some mean fisher huts. He drew up sharply before one of these and was quickly met by the master, who worked over-late ar- ranging his nets before the door. The fisherman was short, grizzled, and pi- ratical looking, in striking contrast to the Spaniard, who sat his horse with an easy reckless air, his tall peaked sombrero rakishly tilted sidewise on his head. Castro waved the little man a greeting and cried, ' ell what of my promise now, Duarte ? The wicked looking Duarte appeared both enraged and frightened at this careless speech and strode quickly to his stirrup and said harshly, Not so loud! Do you want to tell all Monterey? You under- stand all about this business now. Are you ready to take it ? Rahelio had of late fallen in with plenty of such men, many worse and some better than this Duarte, but his ofifensive rasping voice and evil ex- pression as he grasped his saddle made Rahelio wish the afi air well over. He answered, quickly looking away, Yes ! I am hidalgo, bandalero, what you please. Duarte was satisfied and thrust some papers into his hand and passed him a small ship ' s lantern. Show it three times, China Cove, and hurry! Rahelio, digging in liis spurs called Adios ! as he leaped away. He took the streets leadin.g ha.ck of the town and rode hard, anxious to drive all thought from his mind. 11 Soon he was up behind the town and clattering across the great Presidio campus, which shone hard and white under the rising moon. He passed the men ' s quarters looming up in their white-wash. To him the whole place breathed of the military and the searching hand of the law. He galloped harder. He rode into the woods behind the Presidio and followed an old cow path up to the summit. As he rode out into the moonlight the mournful call of Taps came floating slow and clear from the Presidio below. He drew up and faced about, listening to the end. He sat quietly thus for some time, his horse breathing heavily the while. The ride in the fresh evening air had cleared his mind from the effects of El Adobe, and his thoughts flew as he gazed sadly at the scene below. Rahelio looked over the miles of rolling hills, hazy and indistinct ; the old Castro grant, his hills by right ! Bitterh ' he remembered the coming of the greedy Gringos and the death of his father and grandfather. The calm moonlit waters of the bay lay silent at his feet and its white border faded miles away to the north in a great smooth curve. The lights of Monterey twinkled up at him and a bright splotch marked the Custom- House close by the bay. Guadalupe was surely there this evening. A jealous rage possessed him as he pictured her dancing with the young offi- cers and his old time friends — perhaps laughing and smiling into some more fortunate man ' s face at that moment ! Had she any thought of him? AVas she lost to him now? Must he be dragged into dishonor b} ' the fallen fortunes of his house? He devoutly hoped she had no suspicion of his present venture. Rahelio turned toward the west and looked over the rough coast line and the blank darkness marking the Pacific ; there lay China Cove and his desperate promise. He turned back to Monterey and looking over the land of his birth, of his life, of his fathers he thought of the spirits of the dead looking with shame on his evil choice. A wave of inspiration swept over him as he thought: Shall a Castro fall so low? A Castro, a contrabandista? For answer he flung the brass lantern to the ground with some of the satisfaction he would have felt had it been his friend the fisherman. With a grim look toward China Cove he roused his horse and took the back trail for Monterey. Rahelio riding slowly through the quiet streets of the town felt cheer- ful and happy for the first time in months. He had no definite plans, but a vague feeling ' that he had played true and redeemed himself, and that con- sequently every thing would come right. He determined broadly upon THE FURIOTTS FACK AND THE FLASH OF A KNIFE Mexico and my uncle for his future ; of course Senorita De La Torre was included. He did not know just how to go about it. but he kn.ew it was necessary she should go with hini. His horse took the course he pleased and this brought him out on the flat sandy beach. This broad quiet solitude well suited Rahelio ' s mood, and as they ambled along the shore, sometimes splashing thru the shallow flood of the sleepy little waves, he dreamed gloriously on. The familiar air of a fandango aroused Castro sharply from these plans. He found himself under the beach walls of the Custom-House. alive to the call of the twanging guitars and the voices of the dancers. As he recognized the swinging tones of old Simineau ' s accordion, he must at least have a look, so he left his horse to watch below while he climbed the old wave beaten stairs. He slid into a corner bench where he watched the dance, himself unseen except for the glowing tip of his cigarette and the dark outline of his sombrero. He peered through the crowd for a glimpse of Guadalupe and burned three cigarettes with feverish speed in the vain search. Rahelio was about to give it up when he noticed three men strolling down the gallery. They stopped close behind him and he waited for them to move on, but they seemed in no hurry and he o erheard their talk. The name of De La Torre caught his ears and he was immediately bristling at- tention. Rahelio turned slowly to see who spoke and heard plainly. 13 ■ I think she still loves young- Castro, and that is why she is not here to- night. The one in the center leaning on the stone coping turned his head, and the moonlight showed Rahelio the look of malice and hatred on his features as he answered: ' Well I. Louis Sanchez, Avho speak to you now — I tell a-ou she Avill find her lover strung up for a bandalero one line dav. ' Castro ' s blood leaped at the insult to his love and his name, and Sanchez, his Avords scarce finished, saw him climbing over the Ioav coping, saw the furious face and the flash of a knife, and that Avas all. Rahelio saAv the blood spatter on the grey Avails and his fury left him. Som.e one cried out and someone ran at him. He knocked them flat and fled as he had come. His speed frightened his horse and he leaped into the saddle on the run, and theA ' AA ent pounding down the hard Avet shore and faded into the night. There Avas no room in Rahelio s mind noAv but for terror and a desire to fly aAvay, aAvay before the coming sun, a thousand miles away. His horse ne ' er galloped harder, yet it seemed hours to Castro before they reached the county road and climbed panting and straining up the Carmel hill. At the top of the hill the gloom of the dark shadowy pines Avith here and there a streak of ghostly moonlight, brought sharply to his mind the Avords of a young vaquero at El Adobe: T tell you Avhat, I don ' t like that Carmelo hill one bit. AMien I go that Avay I ' m not at all scared you un ' er- stand. but just the same I don ' t waste no time. I just grab my gun and dig my spur and ride like hell I I tell a-ou that man Tom Doud he ver ' bad man. Rahelio did likcAvise, but Avith more reason than the A ' aquero. Around the Avinding grade they flew, in the moonlight here and the darkness there, beating hard and fast along the silent dusty road. The Avay gradually be- came more open as they got down into the A ' alley, and coming around a sharp hill, there lay the Carmel Mission in the broad smooth fields Avith the sih-ery waters of the Lagoon and baA- behind. The sight brought dear Father Anslem to his mind and his years of confidence and confession. He Avas a father and a brother and a confessor to Rahelio, and he felt even noAv he must see him, even now Avith this terror on his soul. He sloAved doAvn as he came to the first adobes and Avalked his horse up to the A-enerable church. The poiuiding hoofs seemed to strike more noise out of the ground the sloAver they AA ' alked. and each beat struck a neAv dread into Rahelio ' s heart. He dismount ed and swung open the great iron barred door. As he looked into the A-aulted church, his courage fled and he dropped on his knees, clutching the barred gate. He dreaded to take his sacrilegious person into the sanctuary and yet he must; he groaned aloud in his despair. 14 He finally arose and forced himself with trembling knees to enter and cross the further wing; here he would find the good Anselm. As he stood before the father ' s door he heard a murmur near the altar at his left and turning with straining eyes beheld the figure of a girl kneel- ing in prayer. His heart seemed to club him from within, and he stood sensing some great thought or message. The figure grew clearer as he looked, and it was Guadalupe. She wore a white robe and her dark hair fell in a mass about her shoulders and upon the foot of the altar. Rahelio heard his name murmured and saw her hands raise in supplication, and he cried out with all his might, and his voice sounded like a vague whisper. Things grew dim and confused to him ; he hated himself ; he came wretched, bloody with guilt and damned, and he loved her. Guadalupe rose and turned toward him startled, the look of a saint in her face. Rahelio fell clutching her feet and crying like a child. Guadalupe raised and led him into the open air where he gradually be- came coherent enough to be understood and he told her the whole story. And O Guadalupe, I loved you so ! and I have been a fool and I feel very low. And then 1 was proud and 1 turned back to honor my name and you and I have dishonored both ! And he held his bowed head in his hands. A moment so and then he stood up l efore her and throwing his arms wide and looking over the peaceful moonlit valley, he cried : And I love her, love her with all the soul I have and she must now despise me ! Guadalupe De La Torre said softly. Rahelio, my aunt stays here at the mission tonight to talk with Father Anselm about my future. When she awakes in the morning my future will already be. I love you. Now we will ride far away. Rahelio took her in his arms and kissed her many times. Together they closed the rusty creaking gates, and climbed on to his horse and lifted her before him. Together they rode down into the silent valley and up into the rolling Santa Lucias. They stopped for a last look at the peaceful scene, the rolling fields, and the moonlit mission standing big and solemn before the silver waters. Then they took the trail of the Padres for Mexico. JOHN DOUGLAS SHORT. 15 S ' §@)@S lK SKULL$1 1HAA E always been more or less interested in Indian remains. 1 was ever on the w tch. while I was in the Sierras amon - the rcnn- ' nts of the ancient Indian tribes, for any relics that might have snrvived the ransacking- of the gronnd. by the placer miners. So one day when a friend who knew of my collecting instinct mentioned to me that he had seen a re- markable looking skull on exhibition in the town store, I at once became anxious to obtain it. And so I did, and an interesting specimen it proved to be. It was a dirty grey color, fine and round and shiny, with a hole in the top of it and three teeth in its jaw. I considere d it a great acquisition. It was evident th ' t it had originally belonged to an Indian, or perhaps, I thought, it might ha e belonged to a member of those prehistoric races that scientists claimed once inhabited the west. I was really excited about it : I measured it with a tape in the manner of a tailor measuring a man for a new suit: I sketched it from every angle; I compared it with illustrations of a Fuegian ' s skull from Cape Horn and decided it belonged to a much more primitive type ; it even seemed to bear a close resemblance to the famous Neanderthal Skull and to the Calaveras Skull, which has been found in a gravel mine, under an ancient ri ' er channel, about forty miles northeast of our mining camp. I concluded that it must ha -e belonged to a man con- temporary with these skulls. In the excitement aroused by these specula- tions 1 thought that I might be able to pro -e the Calaveras Skull was no hoax, as had been claimed by some prominent scientists ; I saw my name on the front page of the Prospector, described as Our prominent fellow citizen, and then half a column in the city papers, and then I began to trace the pedigree of my find. It had been given by one know i as Spec, to my friend. Spec had with an eye to profit gi ' en three tops and a bullet mould to some one else, who had got it from a gentleman who kept a hotel, whose wife objected to his using it for a paper-weight. This gentleman, a Mr. Jones, had been pre- sented with it by a man who had worked on the Coulterville road when a new bridge was being l uilt across Jackass creek. My hopes seemed almost realized, for. on the nearer end of the liridge there was a high bank of conglomerate. If the find had been made here. 16 in this bank, in undisturbed gravel, the skull would certainly be prehistoric; if not, there was an Indian Rancheria near by from which it might have come, in which case it would be interesting also. So now there was nothing to do but to find out conclusively for myself the location of the skull when found. I shouldered my gun one fine morn- ing and started out. I was almost half way there when I met Dave Hall, an old crony of mine, who had worked on the bridge as it was being built. Of course as is the custom in the mountains, I must stop and ask when it was going to rain (an alternative to asking if he had seen any stray cattle around) and when the Penon Blanco mine would start running, and how the quail shooting would be next month, and many other absurd and unnecessary questions, and he had to tell me of the killing of Joe Musante ' s heard about the bridge he l:)ecame interested for he had himself worked on it. I asked him if he had been ])resent when the find was made. Well, lemme see, perching himself on a l)Oulder on the side of the road; It ' ll be bout three months past that me and the gang was a ' workin ' on Carlon ' s bridge. Yep! t ' was along near the end o ' last June, jest after ole man McReady l)lasted hisself on Priest ' s Mill where they was gradin ' . Sure I remember now. W ' e ' d jest snaked down the bridge stringers from up I)ack o ' Boneyard, — you know where that big bunch o ' timber is u]) there on the ridge — an ' some fellers was makin ' a cut on the right, by that bunch o ' alders, an ' the gang had jest about got to where that big mossy boulder used to stick up. jest above the old road, y ' know, when ole man Musante I SKETCHED IT FROM EVERY ANGLE colt by a mountain lion up at the High Ranch several days before. It would not have been proper for him accord- ing to mountain eti- quette to have left me until he had found out my business in his part of the country, so I told him what I was after and how all my hopes were staked on it, of course modestly avoid- ing all reference to the size of type that would announce my great dis- coverv. When Dave 17 hollers out. Queek I Dead Mans I Then the fellers all run up and I bet ye a shot o ' that there gun you couldn ' t guess what we saw. Well, sure as I ' m a sittin ' here there was a barlev-sack full o ' bones all soft an crumbling like punky wood, all piled in a kind o thrown down there when thev was ■ m nil fr}-in ' I WAS ALMOST HALF WAY THERE WHEN I MET DAVE HALL Then when the ' cept what they holler in the rocks jest as if they ' d been half-dead and covered with a pile o ' slate rock. Them poor Greasers — here I gave a disappointed grunt — Yeh I them were Greasers, I know, ' cause there was a couple o bateas ' that the lexicans use for pannin ' an ' pieces o ' old boots, like what they used ter use in fifty-nine, ' and all kinds o pots an ' pans, and heaps o ' other relicts : ind I tell ye — here he looked up and e} ' ed me. them poor Greasers must ha ' died pretty pronto ' cause there was a couple or perhaps a half a dozen big stone pestles like what Injuns use now for poimdin ' acorns, an ' what ' s more a big, black, flint spear-head, the size o ' my arm here, was stickin ' in I ine o ' them skulls. But, I said, you don ' t mean to tell me that a party of Mexicans had lieen killed at the bridge, do you? Sure, continued Dave, the Greas- ers had camped jest below where the bridge is, before ever you or me was thought of an while they was a sittin ' aroun ' their campfiire cookin ' their ' frijoles, ' they ' d been all hit over the head with them pestles, or p ' rhaps peppered with arrers from the brush, all their grub and guns and things to use they dumped all them dead Injuns had swiped didn ' t know how Greasers into a hole an ' covered them with rocks so ' s the cayotes wouldn t get them, for the Greasers spirit might ha ' haunted them if they did ' . Arter the boss had picked out the big spear-head we throws the whole pile out at the side o ' the road, an ' a sort o ' funny feller what worked on the scraper gang took one o ' them skulls, and I guess that s the one you got hoi of. Don t be cut up any. he added consolingly as he noticed I seemed 18 downcast, I ' d rather have a Greaser ' s skull any day than a dirty ole Digger Injun ' s. Well s ' long. I ' ll see ye again. I ' ve got to git to Garrote sometime tonight, and away up the dusty road lurched Dave, leaving me to figure the rest out for myself. A Mexican Skull! When I got home that niglit took that skull and put a black mark on its shiny dome and put it up on a ])ine stump where I used it for a revolver target. It made an excellent one and I was able to make a fine study of the effects of modern fire-arms on the human skull. JACK DRON.

ELANORE HOLLAXD 12. 20 As one who cons at e ' cning ' , o ' er an all)uni, all alone And ninses on the faces of the friends that he has known. . So I turn the leaves of Fancy, till, in shadowy design I iind the smiling ' features, Of about the likeliest looking class of Scrubs that ever entrusted them- selves to old Berkeley High ' s maternal care. In August 09 it was, three years ago, and now in reminiscent mood, we turn, and from the eminence of graduation look back over the path we have come. During our first term we organized under the kind direction of liss Maxwell, who watchetl over us with fond eyes. A constitution was soon drawn up and the Class of May ' 12 became a real live organization, which soon made itself felt in school aft ' airs, despite the elTorts of the self-important High Juniors to keep it down. Our time came to be High Juniors, and during the term we gave the finest dance ever given by a Junior Class in Berkeley High. ] Iany of our members, too, began to make good and find places for themselves in school affairs and athletics. During the ] Iiddler year the girls showed their school spirit b} ' giving man}- candy sales, and judging l y the success of these, the class contains some fine cooks. Low Seniors now, and very dignified, so as to set a good example to the lower classes ! This term, at the Town and Gown Hall, we gave a recep- tion to the Class of December ' 11. which they will never forget. High Seniors at last, and the acknowledged leaders of the school I And never was the school in better condition ; the new constitution made en- tirely by members of our class, adopted and in force ; victories in all branches of athletics ; and every other school activity brought to a successful close. Of our Senior Play, The Lost Paradise. w e need not boast — public 22 opinion has declared it one of the best class productions ever given. The Ball, too, gives promise of being an overwhelming success. The Girls ' Jinks was jolly, as it should be ; rumor has it that the girls threw dignity to the winds and acted as they pleased for one night. The large attendance at our Class Day and Graduation Exercises, where we bade our formal fare- well to Berkeley High, showed how the school felt about losing us. Sorry to lose us — yes, but not half so sorry as we are to go ! As we come to this part of our story we take out our handkerchief and make believe we have a cold, but it ' s really to wipe away a bothersome little tear that insists on coming. With a strange lumpy feeling in our throat, we close the book and murmur, Good-bye, Old Berkeley High, Good-bye! Waiting The evening mists their wings unfold ; The sun rides down a path of gold ; The western hills are bathed in light. Dimmed by the footsteps of the Night. The stately ships go slowly by And fade into the fading sky. Oh wind that blows across the sea When will my ship come back to me? The slow mists creep o ' er hill and town ; Night flings her sombre gray cloak down, While through it peeps a single star. Far out where mists and darkness are Fierce waves break on the seething bar, And the rough wind with bated breath Chants ceaselessly of wreck and death. From out this shrouding mystery When will my ship come back to me? Oh questioning heart that fearful waits,- Beyond these sheltering harbor gates Lies the unchartered, boundless sea, And ships must sail, and wrecks must be — Know this ; whatever is, is best. Then hope, and leave to God the rest. ELANORE HOLLAND, ' 12. 23 1. Music. 2. Invocation Rev. Geo. G. Eldredge 3. Address, Houses of Childhood Evelyn Burrill, Class of 1 12 4. Address.

Gih ert Foote and Edwin Elam took the affirmative and AT. Foy and R. Stevenson the negative. It was a very hot discussion and brought out many good points on both sides. The election which took place a few days later sup- ported the affirmative side by an overwhelming majority. A few days before this debate President Stern called a meeting of the student body to read and discuss the new constitution. After the constitu- tion had been read and discussed everybody seemed to be well pleased with it, and the vote on it showed that all the students were ready to support it. Many spirited rallies have been held for our track and baseball teams at which good send-ofifs were given before every meet or game. They surely showed their appreciation of the support of the students by beating Oakland in the big track meet and in both baseball games. Yell-leader Hayes had the boys yelling all the time and helped a great deal in stirring up pep ' among the students. None of the speakers complained about lack of sup- port at the games, for they surely got the best possible support at all times. Another meeting was held in which the labor day problem was dis- cussed. It was decided to have all the work done in the morning and to en- joy several sorts of entertainment such as a vaudeville performance and Facultv-vStudent baseball game, in the afternoon. 70 The Girls ' Jinks The High Senior Jinks was held this year at the home of Dorothy PauL The girls came attired in a varied assortment of costumes from the professional actress to the vagabond. Most of the time was spent in dancing and a num- ber of the girls contrib- uted to the amusement by doing clever stunts. A supper finished one of the most enjoyable evening ' s of the term. THE CLASS PARTY. The Class Party was held this year at the spacious home of Miss Ora Howard on Hillegass Avenue. The evening was pleasantly spent in playing games and dancing. Toward the close of the evening light refreshments were served. i- ' THE HIGH JUNIOR TUG RIDE. The Caroline left Jackson Street AAdiarf about one o ' clock May fourth, being delayed a little by the late arrival of the all-important band. There were about sixty-five couples and ten chaperones aboard and the weather couldn ' t have been better. They went direct to Monticello Grove, being entertained on the way by the band which rendered some excellent music. Arriving at the grove about half past two, they spent two very delightful hours, some dancing, and others rowing, swinging, or walking among the trees. All were very sorry to have to leave at four-thirty, but since the Caroline was billed to dock at San Francisco at six o ' clock it was impos- sible to remain longer. After an hour at the wharf they started out for the evening ride which proved one of the most enjoyable of its kind. The final dock was made about ten o ' clock and all returned home very well pleased with the day ' s outing. LOW SENIOR Floor Manager Edwin Elam Punch Committee Lorraine Conner.

The order of the day was to clean every weed off the grounds, to spade up the ground in front of the auditorium, preparatory to the planting of shrub- bery and wild straw- berry vines. At the stroke of nine, the entire gang started to work. Some spaded, a few wielded a pick, many of the fellows used the hoe to the greatest advantage, while others ran a wheelbarrow, or shoved a broom. Every fellow had a job of some description. Several times during the morning, work was stopped for periods of rest, during which several small rough-houses livened things up, although on the whole the spirit the fellows showed was all that could be desired. Then the girls were there, strong in numbers as well as in spirit. They polished the silver trophies, made paper cups for the punch, and managed the large task of preparing the noonday meal. The fellows of Berkeley High are all proud of the girls for the way in which they worked to give them one of the finest meals that they ever enjoyed. After lunch an impromptu rally and entertainment was held. The rally was one of the best of the season. Red Hayes made the fellows literally raise the roof with Rouse ' ems. The entertainment was excellent. The performers received many tokens of appreciation from the audience as well as much thundering applause. Next came the annual Senior-Faculty Baseball game. Much enjoyment 74 ■ was derived from the amusing situations, which developed chn ' iny tlie se en innings of the game which resulted in a tie score of 12 to 12. The students of Berkeley High have something to be proud of now that they have started to beautify their buildings and grounds. Let every loyal student bear in mind the fact that the improvements made are permanent and not merely temporary ones. Remembering that the standard of a school is often measured by the apearance of its surroundings, let us endeavor to keep up the present excellent appearance of our grounds so that when, in the future, the members of this year ' s graduating class return to take a look at the old familiar sights about this High School they will see with pleasure that the custom started by them in the last months of their high school career has led to constant improvement in the appearance of the school. 75 Debating X FEBRUARY 9, debating- trvouts were held, at which the followinsf teams were chosen: First team: George Cunningham (leader), Ray Clayton. Arthur Wendering, and John Dodge (alternate). Second team, John Dodge (leader), AA ' allace } IcAfee. and James Fraser. Negotiations were immediately opened by Manager Sherman with Sac- ramento High School for a debate, which was held at Sacramento on March 15 — The Ides of larch — on the question, Resolved: That in labor dis- putes workmen are justified in demanding as a condition of settlement that employers employ only members of Trade Unions. The judges, bv a vote of two to one, decided that Sacramento should have the decision on the strength of delivery, Berkeley being conceded the better of the argument. The Sacramento speakers were : Miss Ruth Preston. Miss Mona Schroeder, and Gilbert Ridean, while George Cunningham, John Dodge, and Arthur A endering represented Berkeley. About six hundred people witnessed the debate, despite the fact that ten cents admission was charged. This was quite a contrast to the usual attendance in Berkeley, where it is almost impossible to get a crowd out. even though no admission is charged. ERKELEY High School lost the fifteenth annual debate to Oakland High School. This debate was held in our auditorium on the evening of Fridav. lav 3rd, 1912. Oakland had the negative side of the question. Resolved : That the United States w ould be justified in permanently occupying Cuba. Berke- ley presented considerable argument to show that the permanent occupation of Cuba would benefit the United States and Cuba, while the legal status existing between the United States and Cuba and the exact meaning of per- manent occupation were oft ' ered by Oakland to disprove it. The judges were of the opinion that they succeeded in doing so. Harry Creech, Harold Blote. and Howard Schaefle represented Oak- land. Creech led, but he was surpassed by Blote of his own team in de- livery. Berkeley ' s delivery was equally good. George Cunningham gave the affirmative rebuttal. Ray Clayton and Arthur AA ndering were the other Berkeley speakers. The judges were Professor Alartin C. Flaherty of the University of Cali- fornia, Professor Payson J. Treat of Stanford, and B. H. Pendleton of the Oakland Civil Service Board. 76 SHERMAN DODGE WBNDERING CLAYTON CUNNINGHAM Rooting The yelling ' , under the leadership of Yell-leader iiayes and his assistant Ramon Landsberger. this year has been the best rendered in this school for man} a day. Starting in from the first rally oi the year. Hayes has made the fellows work and the auditorium has had many a chance to re-echo the Berkeley High _vells. At the dual meet l:)etween Oakland and Berkeley one of the largest rooting sections that e •er turned out for a track meet showed up and the poor Oakland rooting section looked like thirty cents beside the Red and Gold. The first of the term a prize was oft ' ered for the best } ' ells. There were a great man}- yells turned in and it took two spirited Rallvs to decide which were the best. Finally three good ones were chosen and they ' ill probably remain for a long while. One of the best is called the Echo Yell.. and runs as follows : B-E — RAH R-K — RAH E_L — RAH E-Y — RAH B-E-R-K-E-L-E-Y ER-RR-RR-RAH BERKELEY THE FELLOWS IN THE YARD AFTER A RALLY 78 The Shakespearian Festival Perdita — O lady Fortune stand you auspicious! Florizel — See, your guests approach. Address yourself to entertain them sprightly And let ' s be red with mirth. Who. that witnessed the fourth act of The A ' inter ' s Tale on the after- noon of April thirteenth at the Greek Theatre, can question but that this bidding of Perdita and Florizel was fulfilled! In fact, the applause and congratulations characterized the Berkeley High School performance as beautiful, unique, and remarkable. The delightful prologue, composed by Miss Henderson was cleverly recited by Miss Dorothy W ' etmore. Autolycus following, captivated the audience at once. No one is likely to forget our Perdita, now a beautiful dancing nymph, again Shakespeare ' s own Perdita. Especially good were Edwin Pillsbury as the clown, Einar Jacobson, the lover Prince, Kimljall Kauffman, as the king, Ernest MacDonald as the shepherd, Elbert Munro, Belcher Cooley. and the pretty pair, Mopsa and Dorcas. The dancing shepherds and shepherdesses, with their gay costumes, their crooks and rain-bow colored garlands, made the most beautiful spectacle of the after- noon. Significant of the production was the demonstration of school spirit-. 79 working ' for one end and for the l)est interests of all concerned. The sew- ing classes laid aside their own work to make the costumes. The drawing class made colored sketches of the costumes. A arious student committees carried on the shopping, lil rary work, coloring, and the care of the property. 80 Two young chemists made an indigo vat ; five boys helped behind the scenes ; two others loaned their automobiles ; boys from Mr. Jacob ' s classes sur- veyed the Greek Theatre stage and laid out the school grounds ; and school musicians furnished delightful music. The school owes a vote of thanks to the English Department, to Miss Johnson. Mrs. Sweezey, Miss Hartley, Mr. Sam Hume, Miss Maxwell, Aliss Brockman, Mrs. Mathewson, 3ilrs.

The play, The Tost Paradise, was full of opportunities for fine stage work. The story itself is a very good one dealing with a great industrial problem, the relation of Capital and Labor. The play, of course, has a heroine and a hero — she is the daughter of the owner of the great steel foundry and he the superintendent. The dramatic element is furnished bv the employees, some of them made al- most desperate by their poverty. The attitude of the owners precipitates a strike. The owner ' s daughter and the superintendent whose love she spurned, sympathize with the workmen while her affianced husband, a partner in the business, is bitterly opposed to any concessions. In the end the firm is forced to concede ; the owner who has built up his great business on a dynamo patent which he has stolen from the superintendent, makes restitution, and the heroine finds she loves the superintendent after all, with the natural consequence. There is much comedy woven throughout the story to balance this theme finely, and plot and counterplot add fun and in- terest. Dorothy Porter in the leading girl ' s role, showed great ability as an actress and went into the work with enthusiasm. Theodore Preble, as leading man was excellent ; he gave Reuben AVarner the strong character he needed. Ray Clayton made a most successful polished and dashing man of the world. Billy Hopkins, taken by Raymond Sherman and ' Cinders by Florence Small furnished the greatest laughs of the play. Bob Appleton was portrayed excellently by Kenneth Hayes, who came out strong in that clever, jolly, careless character. He was a fine lover, too, and he and Aloyse Furlong added dash and lightness to the play. Owing to the sickness of Jack Webster, the part of Mr. Fletcher was taken most successfully b}- that old Thespian. Kimball Kaufmann. The 82 three workmen, Swartz. Bensel. and Hyatt were ahly done by Robert Light as Swartz. Douglas Short as the old white-haired Bensel, and Alaurice Glazier as Hyatt. Xell, the poor crippled girl, was taken by Florence Car- roll with great ability. Kate, Old Bensel ' s daughter, was played by Carrol ] Iaul. while last but not least was the French maid. Julia, taken b} ' Mar- guerite Henrich. The cast and senior class cannot otter enough thanks to Ir. Frank ] Iatthieu. the coach, who with great care and patience, overcame the handi- cap of a late start and gave the school the benefit of his usual excellent coaching.

The team was the best that has ever repre- sented Berkeley High in this branch of athletics and too much praise can- not be bestowed upon them. The fellows worked hard during- the long sea- son, and when they defeated the Huntington Beach High School, the champ- ions of Southern California, in the first two out of a series of three games, thev ended the season in a blaze of glorv. During the season the team took trips to lone, Santa Rosa, Lakeport, and Belmont, and at all these places received the ver}- best of treatment. The team wishes to thank the school for its support in the most import- ant games and hopes that b}- the season ' s work the popularity of basket-ball has been greatly increased. Besides winning their big game with Oakland High by a score of 24 to 10, Berkeley High also defeated the following teams : lone High, Santa Rosa High (two games), A ' ilmerding, Lakeport, St. Mary ' s College (two games), U. C. 145 lb. team. U. C. Varsity, Belmont, Oakland Poly, Cogswell and Himtington Beach High (two games.) Our one defeat was registered by the U. C. A arsity, but as we defeated them in a return game, it leaves us with a clean record for the season. The team made this fine showing in spite of the fact that they lost two good men in Xorman v later and Charley Austin, both of wdioni left school. Slater will in all probability be in school for next season and ought to be one of the mainstays of the team. 86 Cd d o H S d o ' Z H Q Q O H Q The Team Captain AA ' arnie Norton was one of the big stars. He made more points than anyone else on the team and excelled especially in converting free throws. W ' arnie ' s presence in the game always gave the team greater con- fidence and ability and he was chiefly responsible for their fine team work. AA ' arnie will be back next season. Jimmie Gardner, the other forward. Avas one of the finds of the season. Jimmie had plenty of fight and his fine work in the first Huntington Reach game undoubtedly brought us victory. He has another season with us. Ted Spencer performed in fine style at center and showed up every man who played against him this season. Ted was as fast as a bullet and was a wonder at shooting field goals. The team will miss him greatly next season. Phil Embury played a marvelous game at guard this year and by his fine work will easily gain a place on the All High School team, together with two other fellows on the squad. Phil was a whirlwind in all his games and always scored more points than did his forward. His presence on the team next year will do much to win another championship. Myron Penfield, at guard, played a good game, both on the defense and ofifense. His work was much better than that of the average high school guard ' s. Penny will be back next year. Hubert Sandner, the midget of the team, played wonderfully in our last games of the season. Though much smaller than his opponents, he always played rings around them. Dutch will not be back next year. Carl Sebastian, a new man. w as one of the most versatile players on the team. He could fill in at either forward or guard and always played a good game. Seb was a fighter from start to finish, and his loss will be greatly felt next year. The team was very lucky in securing the services of Mr. W. L. Sea- wright, as coach. Doc. ' put a great deal of time on the team and was chiefly responsible for its winning the State Championship. Mr. Seawright understands basket-ball thoroughly and always did the right thing at the right time. AVe hope to be able to secure Doc for our next year ' s champ- ionship team. W illis Alontgomery was manager of the team, and it is due to his splen- did management that such a successful season has been carried on. At a recent meeting, the team elected James Gardner captain, and Philip Embury manager for next season. The best wishes of the school will be with them in their endeavor to duplicate this year ' s fine showing. 88 BASEBALL started this spring with five veterans as a nucleus for a championship team. Some new fellows of high caliber were discovered and the team went straight ahead winning game after game. Not one high school team defeated Berkeley in a baseball game this season and our team can surely claim the championship. Considering the fact that we were Avithout the services of a coach during the whole season, our showing was remarkable. The fellows all showed a willing spirit and entered into the practice every day. They surely deserve credit for this, especially as they were given practically no support by the school. We won the big series with Oakland High in two straight games b} scores of 5 to 0, and 2 to L In the first game. Red Gefkin was the big star. He was well backed up by the team, especially in hitting. Every fellow on the team came through with his hit during the last innings when they were most needed. The second game with Oakland was won by a score of 2 to L The captain gefkin game was full of pep and kept the rooters on their feet at all times. The fine combination work of the fellows, however, pulled the game out of the fire. Our first game of the season was with Cogswell, whom we easily de- feated by a score of 16 to 3. Our next game with the Stanford second team resulted in a ten inning victory for us by a score of 8 to 6. The California second team was then easily defeated by the one-sided score of 10 to 0. Lick also met defeat by our team 8 to 1 in a featureless game and short- ly afterwards we beat Wilmerding 8 to 2. The California Freshmen were then easily defeated by a score of 6 to 2. 89 In a fast and well played game with Fremont High, we won by a score of 5 to 1. A large crowd of Fremont rooters showed up at the Fruitvale grounds, but all their efforts could not bring them victory. Alamed a High was defeated in one of the best games of the season by a score of 5 to 3. It was an uphill game with the score against us for seven innings, but the famous Berkeley fight came to the front and we won out in the last frames. Capt. Harry Gefkin was the pitching star of the season. Red was always there in the pinches and ends his baseball career here with high honors. Gefkin ' s best game of the season was when he shut out Oakland in the first game, allowing only two hits and striking out twenty. Carl Sebastian, as catcher, held up Gefkin ' s delivery in fine style. Sebas- tian had a fine whip and also hit the ball hard. Seb will not be back. Warnie Norton held down first in fine style and starred especially in hooking in wild throws. AA ' arnie ' s hard hitting will help next year ' s team greatly. Oscar Texda hl played a steady game at third all season, fielding well and pounding the horsehide all over the lot. Tex will probably be back next year. At short, Art Earll did good work, in hooking in the speedy grounders and high balls. He batted well all season and will tend to strengthen next year ' s team greatly. Stew Forbes played short in the second Oakland game and starred with his sensational catches. Stew has a beautiful peg and with his knowledge of the game will be of great help to next year ' s team. Brud Montgomery played with his old time form at second base. Brud, a sure fielder and a hard hitter, has played his last game with us. and his place will be a hard one to fill. Al McCord, in left field was always on the job and showed our oppo- nents how the game should be played. Mac will be back next year. Ric Bertolacci, in center field, was one of the heaviest sluggers on the team. Ric fielded well and had a fine whip. His place on the team will be a hard one to fill. Mick Forbes, in right field, was the fastest man on the team. His fielding and hitting were excellent. Mick is good for at least another sea- son. Homer Hunt managed the team and got the best results from the poor support which the team recei -ed from the school. McCORD CAPTAIN-ELECT 91 THE track season this year has been very successfuL Our boys showed good form easily defeating all the other Bay County schools. At the Stanford Interscliolastic meet. Vilas took second place in the hammer and Burgess took second in the mile. Our boys again showed in the Pacific Coast Interscliolastic leet. Las- ar took second place in the 100 yard dash and tied for third in the 220. Be- sides this he ran the race of his life in the relay, giving B. H. S. a twenty- yard lead. Preble showed fine form over the high sticks, tying for second in a fast race. In the B. C. A. L., where nine schools were represented, we carried ofif more points than all the others put to- gether. A ' ilas broke the record with the hammer, hurling it 164 ft. 2 1-2 ins. Blan- ford Burgess won a fast mile, and if pressed could undoubtedly have broken the record. Zook Lassar showed his old form as did Ostrander, Brown. Kelley, Preble. Chapman. Hansen, Hills and Cleverdon. Our relay won easily from Oakland and Oakland Polly. Early in larch. a number of long distance men put their heads together and organized a cross country team. The team captained by Jim Dunn will run Fremont over a five mile course toward the end of May. The Team. Captain Herb A ' ilas is undoubtedly the ])est high school hammer in the Bay region and one of the best in the State. We shall surely miss him next term. 92 CKOSS COUNT KY PcTNNERS Blanfurd Burg-ess, our crack miler, has accounted for himself better by deeds than any pen can do. His success is the fruit of four years of faithful training, and should be an example to all the disheartened ones who try out and fail at first. W ' e shall miss him greatly next spring. Captain-elect Zook Lasar certainly proved a wonder, upholding the red and gold in the sprints and running splendid relay laps. Zook still has two seasons. Gad Cleverdon has done good work in the pole. He will be with its for one more year. Lawton has given a good account of himself in the 440, and should im- prove next year. His relay lap is good. Ted Preble has done fine work in the high hurdles this season. His time in the Oakland meet surprised many. W ' e lose him this term. Ivloyd Kelley has run some heady races and has shown his metal to advantage. Ostrander. though handicapped by injuries, was able to win his event in the B. C. A. L. He leaves us this term. Bill Brown ' s work in the high hurdles and high jump is worthy of praise. W ' e expect great things from him next term. Hansen is a strong support to our relay team and should show up well next season. 94 LASAR FINISHING SECOND IN HUNDRED, CALIFORNIA INTERSCHOLASTIC Monro and Hicks ha -e shown well on the pole and should help out next spring . Schlinghyde, Lisson, Wilson, and Johnson have done good work in the sprints and relay. Lindsay, manager-elect, and Chapman have travelled the low hurdles for us this term and helped greatly. Gibbs has done good work in the 889. We are sorry to lose him. Hills certainly knows how to handle the hammer. Batchelor, in the high jump, deserves much credit. Mr. Safford has coached the team very efficiently this term, and we extend to him our warmest thanks. Football Although football is not one of the spring sports, the fine showing made by our team last fall merits mention in this issue. The team won the Northern California High School Championship and only lost the State Championship through the hardest kind of luck. As nine veterans of last year ' s team will not be back, Capt. AVm. Knowles and Manager Ed. Valentine have a hard jo] before them to develope new men to take these vacant positions. However, if all the fellows will turn out next season and work hard, there is no reason why Berkeley High can not win the State Championship. 95 T ennis TEXXIS has been rather an inactive sport this year, because of the lack of support from the Student Body, and also the failure to obtain matches with other schools. Of the most important matches played this term were those with Lowell High and Fremont and Oakland. The team also went to the Stanford Interscholastic Tennis Tournament, this be- ing the only large tournament entered this vear. In the tryouts R. Lipman won first place on the team while J. Cordes took second. R. Clark and R. Lipman represented us in the doubles. The team was victorious o ' er Lowell High, winning first singles and doubles, the second singles going to Lowell. The team also took Fremont High into camp, and defeated Oakland in all three matches played. At Stanford the team reached the semi-finals in the doubles, but were outclassed in the finals. It is desired that a larger number participate in the tryouts next term as there are great chances in store for Berkeley High. Lipman ' s place will be a hard one to fill, and avIio knows but that you are the verv person to take the place. Swimming THE swimming team has been somewhat handicapped this term by be- ing such an excellent one. lanager Lindsay has worked every avail- able hour in trying to secure meets, but no school in the State of California seems anxious to compete with our boys. On May 9 ' , the team SAvam a relav against Lowell, in which race they won the championship of X ' orthern California. Berkeley was a good 10 yards ahead when the race ended. On ] Iarch 7 they met the IS. C. swimmers and decisively deprived them of a victory by a score of 26 to 23. The meet was undecided until the relay, in which our fellows showed unlimited pep and reached the goal a full 20 yards to the good.. Since that time California has beaten V. S. C, and IS. S. C. has beaten Los Angeles High School. By the process of plane geometry we are able to figure that Berkelev High would stand a fair chance of winning over L. A. High. On April 20. the team was scheduled to swim a relay with several of the schools around the bay. Berkeley ' s team showed up at Surf Beach, where the 96 Mcelroy LINDSAY meet was to take place, and there waited about three hours for the respective teams from the other schools. Xobody else came near Alameda, and they came home disappointed. There is no doubt but that they w ould have won the meet by a large margin. The A ' eekly News has already told you of the prospective trip to L. A. High, and, as the team must have over S25 to go, they need the heartiest sup- port that the school is cap- able of giving. Only four of the team Avill be sent, and with Alarston and Kid- der in the 880 and 440, and Lindsay and AIcElroy in the 50. 220 and 100, they surelv ought to show the Southerners how to swim. Considering all this, give them the co-operation they need, and make this a sure- enough clean-up year. During the week beginning April 22. an inter-team meet was held at the local Y. JM. C. A. tank, in which every Berkeley High record was shat- tered. The official records now standing are Event 50...... 100...... 220...... 440...... 880......

To help our financial condi- tion the team held a jinks at the home of Crystal McQuestion. in North Berkeley. x bout ten games that were scheduled were called oft because of bail weather, which was very disappointing both to the team and the specta- tors. Our worst disappointment occurred toward the end of the season when the return game with Healdsburg High was called ofi . It was to be played at the local Y. M. C. A. and we were sure of being victorious. In the two games with Oakland Poly we found ourselves the victors. Our one defeat at the hands of Healdsburg High, at Healdsburg was due to the poor condition of their court. We still expect to play three more games this term ; one with Martinez, another with Lowell on the 24th of May, and another with the Yerba Buena Girls, who have not been defeated by any team in the city. The Team Vera Marston. a quick and energetic player, has shown herself wonder- fully good this season at her difficult position as forward. Florence Forsyth, the other forward, has done well and with more practice will make a star player. The guards, Juliet Forsyth and Irene Olsen (captain ) did ex- ceptionally fine work throughout the season with their long throws. Crystal McQuestion, the only wearer of the B in our team, showed her usual crack playing and gave her opponents much hard work. The side-centers, Elizabeth McQuestion and Lillian Irwine should he complimented for their unusually quick playing. Emma Skaale who served as substitute played very well whenever she got into the game. 99 IRENE OLSEN CAPTAIN IRENE OLSEN CRYSTAL McQUESTION SYBLE MARSTON LILLIAN IRVINE JULIET FORSYTH ELIZABETH McQUECTION FLORENCE FORSYTH OUR WINNING CREW The Girls ' Rowing Club IN The early part of the spring term, tryouts were held for three crews to represent the club. The crews chosen were: (First) Ramona Marks, coxswain; Elizabeth Witter, stroke; and Helen Lawton, bow. (Second) Ethel Wall, coxswain; Elsie Liddell, stroke; and Beatrice Stephens, bow. (Third) Helen Wright, coxswain; Irma Russel, stroke; and Alice Hill, bow. For different reasons all three of these crews were unable to do the necessary amount of practicing and were broken up. It had almost been decided to give up the race with the college girls, when they decided to give us one more week. A crew composed of Ramona Marks, coxswain ; Elsie Eiddell. stroke ; and Irma Russel, bow. was chosen. Too much credit cannot be given these girls, for the way they practiced. Elsie Liddell has a fine stroke, very even and strong. Irma Russel had never rowed before she joined the Boating Club, and a great deal of praise is due her for the practice required to make her stroke so good. Ra- mona Marks did very well as coxswain. She studied her part carefully, knew just how to send her boat along to the best advantage, and how to time the strokes perfectly. We are very proud of her work. We won the race from the U. C. girls by a boat length and a quarter. Warm thanks are due Miss Brockman for the interest she has taken, and the way she has helped us. W ' ithout her assistance, the winning of the race would have been impossible. 101 The officers of the club for this term have been : Helen Lawton, presi- dent : Imra W ' ann. manager-treasurer; Frances Sweezey. assistant-nianao ' er ; Elizabeth Witter, secretary. The newly elected officers for the coming- term are: Elsie Liddell, president; Imra W ' ann manager-treasurer; r eatrice Stephens, assistant manager, and Ramona Marks, secretary. At present we are at a standstill for lack of funds, but have many new plans for the fall term. A ' e hope that the Oakland girls will form a Boating Club, and that we can arrange a triple race with the college girls freshm.an crew and Oakland High. Then we wan.t to own a boat of our own. Girls, you cannot find a better exercise than rowing and it is fine sport. The club is fairlv well started with this term ' s work, and now all it needs is the in- terest of the girls to make it one of the big things of the school. Show your spirit girls ,by joining and supporting the Boating Club. XCAIBER of the girls have been going over to the Lurline Baths for the past month or more, with Miss McKeeow n as chaperone. They have not as yet organized as a club, and elected officers, but they are to do so very soon. Although the girls enjov the swims, they feel that it is rather hard to go over to the city for them, both on account of the time and the money. Girls, it is said that anything can be obtained, if it is only Avanted bad enough. A ell, if you really want to have a place more con ' enient for your swimming, talk ; talk it e -erywhere, all the time. As it is, scarcely anyo:ie knows that there is a Swimming Clul), or that the girls want a better place to swim. Go to the meetings, then talk about it, make our needs known, and surely something can be done. The directors voted to let us ha -e the ground we asked for, and now it is up to us, the Hig ' h School, to raise the funds for the courts. When some one comes around to you, to sell you a dollar share in the Tennis Corpora- tion, buy one, and be glad that you have the chance to do so. iris ' owimmmg 102 Associated Students 1 SHALL not try in this limited space to go over all the events of this term for they are, no doubt, familiar to all. The most important single piece of work done this semester is, without doubt, the completion and adoption of the new constitution. I think that, in this constitution, you have one that will work, provided you are careful of the men you put into office. The men you elect to do your administrative work for you must be those in whom you have confidence ; not the popular, glad-hand fellow, nor neces- sarily the honor roll boy, but a fellow with a head and one who uses it. AVe have accomplished many things: the Shakespearian Festival and Vaudeville show, showing talent on the stage, our basketball team ' s winning the State Championship title and our other teams making good records. These are but a few instances of our activity. I hope that during the past term your officers have worked to your sat- isfaction. I hope that they have reflected your interest and spirit in a way that has made the school gain apace. I know that the school has been di- vided over many questions, but it is natural that it should be and I trust that there will be a heartier spirit because of it. When your new officers come in, support them and work with them. You are placed here in a democracy — which is a miniature of a larger democ- racy — the United States. It seems certainly proper that you should take a lively interest in this association as a preparation for the larger task. So get behind the association and dig. Every one of you do something to add to its progress, so that when, in the years to come, the class of 1912 will come back to Berkeley High, they will find a stronger, bigger, and in every way better organization. NORMAN STERN. 103 NORMAN STERN, A. S. B. H. S. PRESIDENT The Forum OFFICERS. President ice-President ...-John Dodge Harold E. Risdon .Clifton S. Brown A ' illiam Thomas Secretary. Treasurer Since its reorganization about a year and one-half ago, when it began meeting with Mr. Cooper as an advisory section, the Forum has had a very active career. Last January we were transferred to Mr. SafTord and now meet with him in Room 8. Meetings are held three times a week. Generally a set debate, with leaders on each side, is held on Monday, while open discussions in which any or all the members may take part, are held on Wednesdays and Fridays. There have been several variations from the regular order however. At one time. Air. Howells gave a very interesting talk on Japan, and Mr. Robinson gave a similar one on Tahiti. Another time, four days were taken up in deciding who should be the Republican nominee for Presi- dent. This was the occasion for a very lively discussion in wdiich nearly all the members took part. After several ballots La Follette won by a small margin. Early in the term it became necessary to bring one of the members, Mr. McKee, to trial. He was convicted of Queening in the first degree and placed on probation for one month, under Probation Officer Risdon. At present, the trial of another member is in progress. Mr. Searby, former president of the Forum, has been charged with Breach of Promise, and the chances seem to be that he will be convicted. Alto- gether we ha •e had a very interesting year. There will be a number of vancancies next term and it is hoped that they will be filled by present members of the student body as we already have an ample supply of Juniors. It must be admitted however that some of our most active members are in that class. If you wish to join, sign up at once with Mr. Safford. 105 COBRA FOUNDED APRIL 10. 191 1 FACULTY Air. Ym.

Up to the present time no curriculum credit has been given the students for their work in the band or orchestra, but when this is done it Avill be an added incentive to join and help along. The orchestra did fine work at the A ' audeville Show, the Senior Play, and the Shakespearian Festival. They will also play for us at the Senior Ball and at the Graduation Exercises. 114 115 Linforth — Say, Hogan. did any of your family come from lassachu- setts ? ' Hogan — Xo. A ' hy?

As I entered the small stufify room, the comedian was light- ing a Turkish Obak with the nonchalant air of one who cares nothing for ex- pense. A little awed at first by being in the presence of such a great person- age, I soon regained my voice sufficiently to start a conversation. We dis- cussed various topics beginning with alenstien, then Autolycus, then Ed and such vital subjects, pertaining to the Theater at large.

First Aid to the Injured Labor Day 125 Ax EA ' EXT of the deepest interest to society folk Avas the cleHg-htful little stag party, given by Air. Alick Forbes, at his home, on the e ' en- mg of Friday last. Mr. Forbes is one of the most prominent young men of the Four Hundred, and is president of one of our most exclusive organizations, the Ruffnek Club. The affair was attended onlv by mem- bers of the inner social circle, and was voted by all present as one of the pleasantest evenings of the season. Games, such as poker, crusoe. and hot tamale, made the time pass pleasantly till about ten o ' clock when a dainty supper was served in ])erson 1)} Howard, and Xenakes. the Greek, the prom- inent local caterers. Their presence made it especially pleasant as they were personal friends of most of the guests. Each wore a white apron, artistically- spattered with hamburger steak and mustard. The whole affair was entirely informal and unconventionality was the order of the evening. Air. Forbes himself put his guests entirely at their ease with his merry pranks.
