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.

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
