Spring Song The wind laughs over the hills, - The wind from far awa}-. O come with me, it sings in glee, AA ' e ' ll laugh and sing to-dav. The birds sing high in the trees A s they flit from bough to bough. O come, they sing, For ' tis the Spring; O come and l e happy now. The flowers swing low in the breeze, Like fairy bells they ring. O hark, O hear, ring, soft and clear, O come, O come, ' tis Spring. The trees bend softly down Whispering soft and low. O come, they croon, O come, for soon Youth and Spring must go. Then come, all Xature calls, Forget all sorow and pain — For though each year new Spring will bear. Youth ne -er comes again. ELANORE HOLLAXD 12. 20

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.
