lo our fellow stu6ents of tt e  erkele Ifigl) School tl)i5 issue of tl)e Olla po6ri6a is respectfully 6e6icate6. Service OUR COUNTY is at war with a powerful nation. The war was not of our seeking. It is said that we are in this war to make democracy safe for the world. That is our present intention and we will fight until this ideal is accomplished. But the immediate reason for entering this war was the outrageous conduct of Germany; her interference with our rights upon the high seas, involving the destruction of American life and property; her malicious efforts to create discord in our own country; and her absolute disregard of all the provisions of international law. In such an emergency every man, woman, and child who owes allegiance to this country must rise in support of its cause. When President Wilson addressed Congress on April 2, 1917, recom- mending a declaration of war against Germany, Berkeley High School immediately enlisted in war service. That was no sudden impulse, flaring up in one day and dying out in another. It was a deep-rooted, firm, con- viction based on a sense of justice and an abiding loyalty to our country. We cannot take places in the ranks of the soldiers but we can wage just as loyal a fight at home. We can contribute to every worthy cause con- nected with the war. V e can express ourselves on proper occasions as true and loyal citizens supporting the Government which is responsible for the successful conduct of our affairs. This school has made a remarkable record in giving financial help to the amount of nearly two thousand dollars to the University Ambulance Corps, the French Orphans, to the Red Cross Society, to the Belgian Relief, to the Soldiers ' Library Fund, to the Y. M. C. A. War Fund, and to the Armenian and Syrian Relief. This is a worthy record in itself. Still it represents only a part of the real work that has been done. Money and labor both have been freely given in such services as making cases for freighting Red Cross material and garments for French Orphans. But the greatest good of all has come to us in the High School because we have truly adopted as our motto the principle of Service. This is the spirit which will not only make our school great but, when transferred into the life of the community, will help to make the nation great. Service is a great moral agent and the school which renders service will be a moral school. And when all of our schools are moral and have taken up the business of rendering public service, the chain will be complete — good schools, good communities, and a good nation. C. L. BIEDENBACH.

FLORINE WURKHEIM San Francisco Class History THE evening was one of wind and rain, the kind that peoples an open fire with crowding pictures and memories. And the Senior was sitting before a fire. As the crackling flames twisted upward they parted and out stepped a trembling little Scrub to gaze with eyes of wonder at the Fair City of the Exposition, again lighted in flame against the night of the chimney. The rain beat with added force against the window, just such a storm as drenched the class on Berkeley High Day when the most popular place at the Fair was the gas heater in the Palace of Education. A log rolled and the Scrub was gone. Up popped a merry young Middler, free from the terrors and tremors of Scrubship and as yet untroubled by the weighty cares of Seniordom, to lead a carefree existence (this was before the invention of high eleven English themes) and at last to jump out over the andirons and scamper off into the dark, just in time to escape the hungry flame of Detention that shot in pursuit. The fire burned more slowly, almost with dignity, and why not? Were they not the serious and awe-inspiring activities of Senior year that were now reflected in it s midst? Suddenly there was a sound as of distant thunder. A Senior, on an amber flame, paused to listen, then turned and said, It is the sound of the guns from the battlefields of Europe that has at last reached us. The class went on with its duties but behind it were ruined towns and scenes of battle, above it was lettered in gold the word Service, and the class pins sparkling on all sides bore the emblem of the Red Cross. The footlights of the Senior Show, a war play, too, gleamed brightly along the stage of a miniature auditorium giving prom- ise of the splendor of commencement now not so far ahead. Then the fire burned lower and lower, flickered, and seemed to die. The Senior mused in darkness. We really have had a wonderful history — we came in with the Exposition and we go out with the War. But the fire was burned out. What is left? Nothing but the cooling Memory. Just then the black embers quivered, fell apart, and disclosed the pink City of the Future shining in the ashes and a gay Midget Elf beckoning from the last flame. Senior Class Committees SENIOR PLAY COMMITTEE Lawson Poss, Chairman Aileen Jaffa Ruth Sorrick Frances Morris Revere Hofstetter COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS COMMITTEE Leona Archibald, Chairman Helen Ingham Phyllis Mcintosh SOCIAL COMMITTEE Sherrill Conner, Chairman Lawson Poss Karl Ponsi Edward Hall Madeline Robinson Helen Trevor Jean Waste Frances Morris SCENERY COMMITTEE Walter Johnson, Chairman Sherrill Conner Waldemar Ponsi Wallace Duffy Milton Kennedy PROPERTY COMMITTEE Wallace Duffy, Chairman Herbert Leisure Anne Edgar Martha Justice MAYBE it was because they were dismissed a little early or maybe because hot dogs were on the free list, but anyway, all the fellows were there to show the Scrubs what Berkeley High means to them. After the band had finished filling space with harmony, William Horstmann gave that Welcome to our city line, and introduced the numbers that were to follow on the program. Yells ! and lots of noise when Stab Magerk Ingram and Batting Bud Puter stepped off several snappy rounds in boxing. Speeches followed: Jackson on football; Graff, football coach, on prospects for the team; Le Hane on basketball; McHenry on baseball hopes; and Weaver on swimming. More yells! Scissor Grip Clark, and Bud McHenry had the fellows on their toes throughout the match by unexpected holds and scientific grips that would make Ad Santell look like a mere student of the art. Sounds from the band. An interesting talk by Mr. Biedenbach was greatly appreciated by all. A Rouse ' em and hot dogs concluded the Scrub reception. Another successful reception under the management of the Big B Society will go down in the annals of school history. The Girls ' Junior Reception THE real hail-fellow-well-met Berkeley High spirit never really reaches its height among the girls until the Freshman reception is held. This year the girls got together on Friday afternoon, August 17, and everybody united in saying they had a wonderful time. Promptly at 3:15, a short program was given in the Auditorium. Fanny McHenry, the girls ' president, spoke a few words, and then Tay Cutler ' s skit was presented. The skit had to do with a Red Cross benefit performance, and the knitters in the audience knitted right along with the stage-knitters. In the skit, Dorothy Sawyer and Gertrude Harrington played a charming violin duet; Anita Avila gave an Egyptian dance; Helen Lightner sang a couple of songs and Marjorie Gage and her ukulele chorus carried us with them along the way to Waikiki. Then everybody went over to the gym and danced away what was left of the afternoon. The punch was mighty good and many longed for more than two of the little paper slips that entitled them to a cooling cupful. The Berkeley High School Dance Orchestra furnished the music and put in plenty of jazz. On the whole it was an entirely success- ful afternoon, and, more than ever, old B. H. S. lived up to its record for good-fellowship and hospitality, and welcomed the new-comers with all good will and friendliness. FRIDAY ASSEMBLIES AND SPECIAL TALKS The time has come to speak of many things. The whole world has passed before us in review this term. The pitiful, tragic side of life was shown to us by the war talks — few will ever lose the haunting memory of Mrs. Kellogg ' s talks of the horror and heroism in Belgium or Mrs. Emrick ' s stirring appeal to us to help relieve the suffering and torture of the children of Armenia. Mr. Palmer ' s and Mr. Goodsell ' s talk on Y. M. C. A. work in the war and the economic results of the great struggle, made all the more clear to us life over there and at home, in phases which one would not be apt to consider otherwise. The artistic, beauty-loving side came to us in the beautiful color pictures of Professor Kern and Judge Waste, who made more familiar the often neglected history of our own State. Illustrated current events lectures added greatly to our understanding of the War and its effects on the people at home, for in half an hour ' s time a whole month ' s happenings are effectively condensed. Dr. Reinhardt ' s talk on Food Conservation brought home to us, as nothing else could, the need of our country for our indi- vidual help. Many other interesting speakers spoke to us on subjects equally important. The lighter side was given us in the form of Vaude- ville and Senior Show assemblies and Olla Podrida day. School has been made bearable, even agreeable, when each week something was done to break the dull monotony of recitation, study, and recitation. Surely, one has something to be thankful for — Friday Assemblies and Special Talks. NOON CONCERTS Service has been the watchword in Berkeley High this year, and we have all been one in this common cause. There have been many ways presented to us to perform our war-time duties in helping the needy and aiding the sick, but the Noon Concerts have proved themselves most popular and efficient. There, in the Auditorium, audience and entertainer met with the same thought of Service, and it was that thread of good will and common purpose that lasted through the term, which made the concerts possible. It is not often that a season is as successful in the way of entertain- ment as this one has been. Surely, no one who appreciates music and dancing can say that life is dull at B. H. S. for there has been a regular vaudeville show going on all term. Mr. Lawrence Strauss, one of the finest singers of lyrics on the coast, did us the kindness of singing to us for the war-time Service Fund. It is seldom that we have such good fortune and the students showed their appreciation of the fact by a big attendance. Miss McDonough, a well-known dancer, flitted over the old stage as it has seldom been danced on before; and there was no falling off of attendance, either, as Pop Smith ' s record remained the same. Other concerts, equally as good, given by students and visitors, carried on the good work, and more than one French orphan, or wounded soldier, or abandoned Armenian is thankful for our season of entertainment and Service. THE first rally of the term was held in the yard at noon, the day before the Alumni game. It was just a get-to- gether rally for the fellows to let them know that a season of scrum up, and passing rushes was on, and that the twang of the pigskin was a reality and not a dream. After some vigorous yells led by Lawson Poss, Bud McHenry spoke, followed by LeHane. Each speaker said emphatically: We want more fellows out for practice. Iggie Bliss got up on the little old pedestal in the yard and clam- ored for some pep from the students, a little old jazz, and some new support. He wished the fellows a State Championship and and then bid them farewell, for Bliss went south and is making end runs for Manual Arts High School. POLY YARD RALLY The second yard rally of the term was held the noon before the San Francisco Poly game, which was to be played at the stadium. After Hat off! Coat off! had died out, Captain Jackson leaned over the railing and unloaded some straight stuff. The other speakers told the boys to set an alarm clock, get the early Key, and unravel some sound at the stadium. LOWELL RALLY The 14th of September saw the first rally of the term pulled off in the Auditorium. A good jazz band furnished some popular pieces and got the glad hand. Coach Mush Graff stepped on the stage and called the students. Lack of pep, not enough at the games was what he said, and he didn ' t miss it by an inch. After Captain Jackson made his remarks, Bob Aitken, an Alumni vet, got up and told the boys how hard the team had been working and, although they went down before Poly, that they were going to get Lowell. UNIVERSITY HIGH RALLY. Berkeley ' s first league game was with University High October 12 and there was a rally in the Auditorium that noon. Rush and Hall plunked out some tight tunes that were very pleasing. Mr. Hodge brought back the picture of the old days, when Berkeley pep ran high and the games were played on the California field. Cutterup Calkins and Understung Uren staged a two-round boxing match which ended in a draw. Mush gave the line-up and Captain Jackson gave some inside dope on the team. TECH RALLY As soon as the band started to play, the crowds thronged in, full of pep for the Rouse ' em. Captain Jackson spoke. A little humor was dropped in by Otis Dyar in the form of jokes and a dark-town dance. Mr. Lowell followed Mush Graff ' s speech with a little talk on organized rooting, in union there is strength. He asked the fellows to lay off the hiphipping stunt which occurred frequently at the University High game. The closing feature was a wrestling bout between Rush and Lewis. FREMONT RALLY The noon before the Fremont-Berkeley game pep ran high. Wickes Glass came up with a couple of snappy songs accompanied by his mandolin. Both Captain Jackson and Coach Graff impressed upon the students the importance of the game and that it would be without a doubt the hardest fight of the season. An Alumni sailor, Stevens, told the students about the navy. OAKLAND RALLY The Oakland rally started off with the band, yells, and a jazz orches- trat that wouldn ' t let a fellow ' s feet keep still. After Bag Jackson gave his usual line and Mush had furnished his by saying that the team had been defeated but not beaten, Al Fraga, veteran of past renown, gave his line, which was short but to the point. The last speaker was Pud Davis, who captained the team of ' 15 to a State Championship. ALAMEDA RALLY Football season approached its end with the Alameda game. The rally was pulled off the noon before, in the Auditorium. The main features were some songs by Hatch Woolsey and talks by LeHane, Bob Aitken, and Mush Graff. The last rally closed with a real husky Rouse ' em. Vaudeville THE month of September was a momentous one in the history of Berkeley High because of three things — two holidays and the Vaude- ville. And the latter was certainly the top-notch of all the suc-4 cessful Vaudevilles ever produced in our Auditorium. To give it the space it deserves would mean many pages so in this limited space a Hoover- ized account must suffice. As the strains of the overture died away we were let in on the love troubles of Hall Griffiths and Ida Simpson, which were finally solved by administering Mansfield Lovell ' s love potion to cruel Papa Williams. Then the spirit of the times was presented to us in Tay Cutler ' s Sammy Intrudes, whose array of pretty girls made us think that maybe war wasn ' t so bad after all and made Sammy Haven an object of envy. Next came The Doctor ' s Visit featuring more fair ones, who laid a deep plot to trap the handsome doctor and most certainly would have succeeded if he hadn ' t turned out to be a she. Some music , was the unanimous verdict after Virginia Treadwell ' s offering and it was just that — the finest ever offered to Berkeley High. Wickes Glass then showed us how to do three things at once and get away with it, and incidently how to beat the landlady and kid pretty girls. After two pleasing selections by the orchestra, Little Bugs revealed the marvels of science when Bill Inskeep was jolted into the defense of Marian Woolsey by Doctor St. John ' s dope. More music, this time by James Sewell and Cyril Ries, who gave us our first introduction to the big hit A Long, Long Trail, and also a fine bit of humor in their last bit of music. Of course no Vaudeville would be complete without a dance offering, so this time Ruth McBride carried off the honors with her fire-fly dance. THE VAUDEVILLE ARMY Regular Jazz music was offered by the Modern Quintet, whose melo- dies set every foot in the house to keeping time. A novelty in the shape of Living Pictures was then displayed and made a big hit, especially in the patriotic poses. But all good things must end, and with regret we realized that the orchestra was playing the exit march and that Vaudeville, Fall ' 17 was history. The Senior Play 44 s ECRET SERVICE. Does that make you feel creepy and want to look behind you? Well, in the Auditorium on Friday night, November 23, everyone felt creepy enough at times but no one had time to look behind him, far from it. The stage held all the interest from the beginning to the end of the Senior Show. Only after the first minute everyone forgot it was a stage and imagined he was really in Rich- mond, Virginia, and besieged by the Yankees. The illusion was perfect because no detail of costume or scenery had been overlooked and the actors themselves entered into their parts in a way to make them very real. The mainspring of the action was Captain Thorne whose plots against the Confederate government were thwarted by his love for Edith Varney, the daughter of a Confederate General. Both these parts were very diffi- cult and required a high order of dramatic talent. But Revere Hofstetter and Edith Bryant were thoroughly equal to the situation and their inter- pretations left nothing to be desired. Caroline Mitford became entangled in the plots through her effort to send a telegram to Wilfred Varney. Beatrice Miller made an adorable Caroline and it was hard to say which was the more winning, her sweet- ness, or her bursts of temper. Frank Hubbard pleased everyone by the naturalness and ease of his impersonation of Wilfred. Harriet Guy took the part of Mrs. Varney with great success. And Marian Myers was charming as Miss Kittridge. There was a real detestable villain in the play but their hatred of Mr. Arrelsford did not keep the audience from realizing that Kenneth Williams portrayed the character very well. Of course, no play is really complete without an element of comedy. This was furnished by Lida Coe, who as Martha, the colored mammy, provoked gales of laughter. Perry Hays played old Jones and his scene with Edith was one of the best bits of acting in the play. THE CAST It must be hard to shoot oneself before an audience but Melvin Stamper, as Henry Dumont, managed to die very gracefully. In the tele- graph office Howard Moore proved his ability in the part of Lieut. Foray, the operator, and was ably supported by Lieut. Allison, Rolfe Rathbone, and the four department messengers, Lawson Poss, Theodore Merrill, Merritt Finley, and Milton Waaland. The pompous, but genial, General Randolph saved the life of Captain Thorne and everyone was grateful to Mansfield Lovell for this service. A thoroughly military atmosphere was given to the play by the sol- diers who were constantly coming and going. Horace Button, as Eddinger; Arthur Lewis, as a Cavalry Orderly, and Sydney Chester, as an Artillery Orderly, divided the honor of this with Daniel Fisher, Lieut. Maxwell, and Galen Darr, Corporal Matson, and his privates, Charles Biddle, Arthur St. Clair, Edward Hall, Keith Dennison and Sydney Ellis. But, however fine the actors may be, no play can ever succeed without an efficient crew behind the scenes. The cast of Secret Service was especially fortunate in this line and the utmost praise is due the scene- shifters, electricians, property and make-up men, and in fact to all those whose most important word was done between acts. As in previous terms Mr. Mathieu coached the play and its success was in a large measure a result of his untiring effort. The cast wishes to express its appreciation of his invaluable help. It is not fair, however, to credit all of the enjoyment which was mani- fested by the audience to Berkeley High alone. We are deeply indebted to Mr. William Gillette, the author, for providing us with a play so thrilling and so well suited to our need. T HE history of this term ' s activities is so familiar to every one that it does not seem necessary to recount them in detail, but it may be well to bring a few of the more important ones to mind. The war has afforded many opportuni- ties which Berkeley High School has re- sponded to most generously. For the children of Belgium we raised $500 by the Vaudeville and class contributions. For the American soldiers we have bought books and provided many necessities and comforts which they now enjoy. Through- out the term B. H. S. has been actively engaged in service work. Leaving the War Talk we turn to the Student Activities of the term. In football Berkeley has had one of the best teams it ever had, a team of which the school is mighty proud. In the Inter-Advisory leagues much interest has been shown. I wish to thank the Student Body and teachers for their co-operation throughout the term, for without this help the term could not have been such a success. W. HORSTMANN. The Board of Control THE Board of Control consists of seven members; the President of the Associated Students, five student representatives (two girls and three boys), and a faculty adviser. The appropriating of money to the various activities throughout the term make up the work of the Board of Control. The present board is composed of William Horstmann, President; Leslie Ingram, Vice-President; Madeline Robinson, Secretary; Gertrude McKain, Keagle Spurrier, and Walter Johnson, with Mr. Barnhart as faculty adviser. The outlook at the beginning of this term was not very bright, for two members were not able to fill their positions ; however two new members were elected by the Board. Appropriations had to be considered with great care this term as the finances were extremely low due to uncertain conditions and the high cost of living. By the middle of the term, however, a large majority of the students had their student cards. Each member has worked hard this term and tried to do his best to make a successful season. With the support given by the Student Body the term has surely been a success. NOW that another term is nearing its close we begin to realize how large and important the Girls ' Association is and what its leadership means to the rest of the school. At the beginning of the term an appeal was made to all the girls to cooperate in making this term more successful than any previous term. To this appeal they most heartily responded and as a result the Freshman Reception proved to be most successful. In accordance with the spirit of the times the Association has put all its efforts into doing war-time service work. As a part of this the Girls ' Association adopted a French orphan. Concerts have been given at noon time for which many well-known artists have been secured. This method afforded pleasure to those who gave their money and also served as a means of securing money for supporting the Orphan. The Social Committee has continued the custom, established last term, of serving tea or punch to the Mothers ' Club at their regular meetings, and of decorating the Auditorium for the assemblies. I hope that all the girls will continue to support their future repre- sentatives and make the Association a lasting success. FANNY McHENRY. Clubs ELECTRICAL CLUB HE Electrical Club has just completed one of the most successful The term ' s work was started by a talk from Mr. Raymer, explaining the main principles of electricity for the benefit of the new members. In this term ' s work the Club delved into the mysteries of electric lighting, electric railways, block signals, and telephones. The Club took an instructive tour through the extensive shops and laboratories of the General Electric Company in San Francisco. Later a trip was made through a sub-station of the Pacific Gas and Electric Com- pany. This went hand-in-hand with the more theoretical work of the lecture room to complete successfully the work of the term. In addition to the regular meetings of the term, a get-together-feed for the fellows held at the home of a member contributed to the spirit of goodfellowship. The officers are: President, Sydney Buckham; Vice-President, William Stearns; Secretary, John Daly. Le Tricolor has completed its most useful and interesting term. The programs given in French have been devoted to the important and all-absorbing topic of war work. Among the many speakers were Madam van Gastel who spoke to them on her experiences as a Red Cross Nurse in France. Madam Matignon talked to them on The War. She read letters from a filleul to his marraine. Interesting and amusing were the ideas of a young soldier- on what America must be. The French Club is deeply concerned in the homeless little orphans of France. The members of the Club have adopted orphans, and sewing garments for our orphans formed an important part of the work of the term. Letters of gratitude for little things sent from time to time well repaid the Club for its little sacrifices. Phyllis Mcintosh is the president. To bring together the students of Spanish and to familiarize them with the life, customs, and history of Spanish speaking nations is the aim of the Spanish Club. The meetings are all conducted in Spanish to teach the members to converse fluently in the language of Cervantes. terms in the history of that organization. LE TRICOLOR SPANISH CLUB Spanish speakers of note are secured to talk to the Club. Among the speakers whom the Club has had the privilege of hearing this term are Senor Gaxiola, editor of Hispano America; and Professor Jaen, of the University of California. At the close of this term all the members participated in a social evening given by the Club. The entire program of skits, music, and games was given in Spanish, furnishing an evening replete with interest and fun. The Club meetings are held fortnightly. The officers are: President, Aida Verdi; Vice-President, Scott Ruby; Secretary, Richard Ehlers. GERMAN CLUB For the purpose of affording an opportunity to hear and speak the language they are studying, the German students have again organized the German Club. Varied and interesting programs have been furnished the Club by an elected committee of three. The students gave recitations and illus- trated lectures. The meetings ended with all the members joining in singing German songs and playing German games. Each year toward the end of the fall term an entertainment befitting the Christmas-tide is held. This usually takes the form of a German play, written and staged by the students. The Club meets on alternate Wednesdays in Room 108. The officers are: President, Philip Urner; Vice-President, Frieda Hein; Secretary, Parker Allen. Plans are under way for a German paper, similar to the successful issues of last term, to be edited by the Club which probably will be published at Christmas time. THE GREEK CLUB. The Greek Club of the Berkeley High School was organized nine years ago by Miss Clayes. Since that time an ever-increasing interest in the achievements and ambitions of the Club has been shown by the students. This interest was further aroused by the appearance of the Greek paper, Athene, the pioneer language paper of B. H. S. and the only one of its kind in America. It has received recognition by classical students and publications all over the United States. The Club meets every two weeks, and among the interesting programs planned is a series of illustrated lectures on Greece, by Miss Clayes. The officers are: President, Enid Ogden; Vice-President, Leona Benning; Secretary-Treasurer, Rhea Boynton. SHORTHAND CLUB To save time for war work done after school hours the Shorthand Club held its meetings this term during the noon hour on alternate Mon- days. Each class in shorthand has furnished at least one program during the term. Among the topics discussed were the history of shorthand, terms used in market reports, Charles Dickens as an expert shorthand reporter, and his humorous descriptions of his own shorthand studies as found in David Copperfield. Talks have been given by men and women experienced in various lines of business. These helped to acquaint the students with the modern methods they will meet in the business world. The officers are: President, Christina Samuels; Vice-President, Alice Benning; Secretary, Mary Clark; Treasurer, Isabella Mcintosh. THE COMMERCIAL ENGLISH CLUB The Commercial English Club made its initial appearance this term. The Club was organized to satisfy the demand for such an organization and, judging from the enthusiasm shown by its members, it is here to stay. Meetings are held once in two weeks. The work consists of oral and written work of various kinds and the study of standard works by standard authors. Set talks, informal discussions, lively debates, the presentation of small plays, the study of famous essays and novels, and reports on books fill the Club ' s programs. Many good times were enjoyed by the Club members on trips, picnics, evening parties, and luncheons. The officers are: President, Alexis Post; Vice-President, Isabella Mcintosh; Secretary-Treasurer, Arthur Roberts. PIANO CLUB Violinists and flutists in large numbers are welcomed into the B. H. S. orchestra, but even the magnanimity of that organization and the mag- nitude of our auditorium would not admit of twenty-five pianists on the platform. The result has been the formation of a Piano Club which meets once every two weeks and which studies the works of the best composers. Constant playing before the Club has given an added poise and polish to the playing of the students. This work of the members has resulted in much improvement in the technique and expression of their playing. The officers for the term are: President, Clare Lenfesty; Secretary, Louise Runckel. Forum Membership in Berkeley High School ' s only debating society, the Forum, was in such demand this year that in addition to the usual scholarship requirements tryouts were necessary to keep the membership within bounds. The Forum meets during the fifteen-minute advisory period on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The members give short debates on live questions of current interest. The plan adopted by the Interscholastic Public Speaking League of California of each debater preparing both sides of the question and being assigned the affirmative or negative at the time of the debate was successfully followed this term. In the early part of the term faculty and Forum members gave interesting talks on parliamentar} law and the purpose and the methods of debating. That the Forum has ably succeeded in its task of developing good debaters is shown by the fact that in the tryouts for the interclass and school debating teams Forum members captured all the places. The officers are: President, James Sewell; Vice-President, William Biddle; Secretary, Ida Ellen Spitler. DEBATING The Berkeley High Debating Team came out on top in the big debating event of the term, the first intra-district debate of the California League of Public Speaking, by defeating Alameda and Napa. Hall Griffiths and Wheeler Jensen, the Berkeley negative, won from Alameda two to one, while James Sewell and Kenneth Williams of the affirmative won from Napa, twice winner of the state championship in the last three years. Six teams entered the interclass debates, the seniors, Hall Griffiths, Harold Crockett, Kenneth Williams, and Wheeler Jensen, winning unani mously. Debating isn ' t occupying that old back-seat position of the days of yore. It is coming to the front and if the increasing interest of the students is any indication, it will soon be one of Berkeley High ' s most popular activities. The Big B Society President Vice-President Secretary Robert McHenry Louis LeHane ... .Harry Jackson The Big B Society has taken an active part in the school activities during this past term as was called for by the new constitution. Although there will be no new members added to its present membership on account of the losing of the A. C. A. L. in football, there will be a number of the present members back next spring. The great success of the boys ' Scrub reception is due to the Society, for the affair was supervised and run off entirely by those who have won their B ' s. The Society is also credited with the good order and smoothness with which the football games were carried on. The officials of all of these interscholastic games were members of the Big B Society. To win honors in athletics as well as in other school activities ought to be the ambition of every boy in the school, for when he graduates he would be proud to be able to say When I was in Berkeley High School I was a member of the Big B Athletic Honor Society. We sincerely hope that next spring will see the membership of the Society greatly enlarged.

To Mr. Barnhart, who has so ably directed the business ends of our work. To Miss Roberts, to whom we owe the high standard of our photo- graphic work. To Miss Marshall, whose untiring efforts have kept our art work on its accustomed high plane. To Mr. C. E. Smith, who has rendered us invaluable aid in the typing of our copy, and to those students who carried on this work. To the firm of Lederer, Street and Zeus, whose cheerful and unstinted help in countless matters has made our work a pleasure. To the University Engraving Company, who have given us the best and most satisfactory results. To Mr. McCullagh, whose work was most gratifying. THE EDITOR AND THE MANAGER. R.MCHENRY D. STAATS V.

MAXWELL The Staffs TO the earnest and thorough work of those pictured on these two pages much of the success of this issue of the Olla Podrida is due. The articles you read and enjoy are the result of many hours of patient gather- ing of facts and putting them in shape by the literary staff. The cartoons over which you chuckle, the dainty drawings in which you delight are the best that the skill of the art staff can give you. The photographs that are such a big feature of this book are the fruit of many days of still- hunting and dark-room sessions. Well may they collectively be named staffs for upon them the Olla Podrida leans. The Weekly News THIS term an effort has been made to establish the Weekly News on a somewhat different basis than that of previous years, the main idea being to play up the news items that were calculated to interest the greater number of people and to play them up in a lively and an interesting manner; the news thus played up was by no means news in the strict sense of the word, or in every instance, as comic features and burlesque writeups have appeared from time to time . The most important departure from custom was the changing of the date of issue from Monday to Wednesday, both for convenience and for better service the student body, the mid-week issue making it possible to print new qf various happenings that on a Monday would have been impossible oi ijf printed, would have been matters of conjecture. A light feature in the shape of Pop Smith ' s sayings has also been added this term. The fall term Weeklies are never at a loss for material while the annual football battle is going on so consequently the big sport was an important subject in every issue until the close of the season. The rest of the front page was occupied by the Vaudeville, coming games, other schools and their doings, the Senior Show, and all the other big interests of school life. The inside was filled with the briefer news items, with reports from our fellows at the front and in home service, with personals, and with many other write-ups crowded off the outside pages. Our advertisers this term have been most generous and patient when their copy did not read just right. The ad columns form a vital part of the paper and there is reason to believe that they were not as entirely ignored by the student body as many believe to be the case. Certain it is, however, that those who did not read the ads carried in the columns of the News have reason to regret it. So as the term nears its end the Weekly and its annals are almost complete. The staffs, editorial and managerial, have rendered splendid and efficient service throughout the term, the printing department has ably and cheerfully performed its part of the work, and, although the Weekly News did not and could not please all, it is hoped that it has pleased the mighty majority. Other Publications AST Spring, when the printing press was established in our school. several papers were started by the different departments and much interest was taken among the pupils in getting together the material that goes to make up any publication. This term the three language papers : the Greek, the French, and the Spanish papers have been the only issues that have come out. However, the German classes have planned to have a Christmas edition. The Greek students publish the Athena regularly every other week. It is a four-page paper, the aim being to support the study of Greek. It is a part of the Greek Club, whose members provide the necessary articles for it on current events and other subjects of interest. The Athena has a large eastern circulation and many accounts concerning it have been published in the popular magazines of the day. Interesting letters, besides applications for subscriptions, have come to Miss Clayes. The paper cer- tainly well represents Berkeley High and great credit is due Miss Clayes and her assistants for producing such good work. The French paper, Le Tricolor, was published once this term under the direction of Mrs. Howard. The first edition was very interesting, containing an article on customs in China, another on French Canada, and account of the experience of a Red Cross nurse, who was herself wounded in Belgium. The second issue of the paper came out under the supervision of Miss Clayes and awakened the supporters to the reality of the coming Christmas holidays. Both issues were very successful in arousing the interest of those who could easily read the French language. The paper is a four-page edition, the articles are written by the pupils of the French classes, and put into working order by the able editor, Regina Parent. Towards the end of the term, the Spanish paper, La Cronica, made a successful debut. Mrs. Howard helped in the publication of this as well as in the Le Tricolor and Aida Verdi was chosen editor with Ernestine Taggard as assistant. The articles told of the events of the world at large, many of the articles dwelling upon the subject of the South American commerce, which surely is very important and most interesting to teachers and pupils. This material was written in the Spanish classes, being the best of the amount submitted.

The boys started the season with that old characteristic, never-die spirit of all the Berkeley High football teams and kept it with them throughout the entire season. For a coach Berkeley had Edward Graff, who is without a doubt the best one that coached a high school this year. Although this is Ed ' s first year of coaching, he had seen service under the best coaches that ever ran the finest college teams, among them Kenny Hayes, Charlie Austin, Ric Temple- ton, and Danny Foster. Eddie has seen three years of Championship High School football, the first being in 1914 when Berkeley won the A. C. A. L. championship; the second, in 1915, when Berkeley won the State Championship; and the third in 1916 when Berkeley again won the St ate Title. We wish to take this opportunity to thank Coach Graff in the behalf of the student body as a whole and again in behalf of the members of the BERKELEY HIGH FOOTEALL TEAM ! RAH, RAH, RAH ! squad with whom he so untiringly worked. We sincerely hope that Berkeley High School will always be so fortunate as to have such a faithful, untiring coach as he was. Practice started soon after school opened with rather a small turnout and five veterans. One of these, George Bliss, was not able to play owing to official complications. Later Karlo Ponsi, who had practically made the team was forced to quit on account of injuries which resulted from an accident during a practice. There was plenty of new material whose only fault was that they were extremely light. The first two league games were with light teams and we were very successful, while later in the season we met some heavy teams and, on account of our lightness, were defeated.

Interclass The season was opened after a practice of about a week and a half by the annual interclass game between the Scrubs and the Middlers, the latter winning by a score of 3-0. The following week a game between the Mid- dlers and Seniors was played, ending in a tie, the score being 9 all. Although very poor rugby was displayed in these games, they showed that the squad had the fight in them and with more practice a winning team could be produced. SCORE, BERKELEY, SCORE ! — TECH ' GAME BERKELEY 11, ALUMNI 5. On August 25 the team played their first outside game and won it. They played the Alumni, which consisted of old stars such as Babe Nevin, Cec Mathews, and Tuffy Sutherland. The Alumni started off with a rush and scored first but after that our boys settled down and by steady team work made three tries, one of which was converted. BERKELEY 3, S. F. POLYTECHNIC 14. The following week, September 1, the team journeyed to the stadium to play Poly and there met with the only defeat of the pre-league season. Although our boys fought hard individually, there was not much team work and very little aggressiveness was shown. Poly started things by making four tries in quick succession, one of which was converted. After that our boys worked together better and stopped Poly ' s rushes. During the second half, the team took the offensive side and after some hard fighting Captain Jackson went over for Berkeley ' s only try. BERKELEY 21, ALUMNI 9. On Saturday, September 8, our team defeated an Alumni team that was considered stronger than the one they had previously beaten. keeping Fremont ' s hands full BERKELEY 19, LOWELL 0. A vision of another State Championship was seen after the Berkeley-Lowell game which took place the morning of September 15. The Lowell team, which was supposed to be the strongest high school aggregation in San Francisco, came over to our lot and there suffered an unexpected defeat. Our boys showed their superiority from the first minute of play when they rushed the ball to Lowell ' s territory and the initial try was made. The try was converted. Before the gun went off for half time two more tries were made, one of which was stretched to five points instead of three. During the second half Lowell ' s 190-pound scrum and ten-second backfield began to work better and several times came dangerously near our line, but the old fight was there so they did not score. The Red and Gold then put on the characteristic B. H. S. finish by adding two more tries, making the finish score 19 to 0. The game was marked throughout by the high-class rugby exhibited by both teams. BERKELEY 33, SECOND TEAM 0. The second team, or the boys who make the first team, were given a chance to show what they could do when a game between the firsts and seconds was played. Although the first sauad won, as was expected, the second-string boys are to be highly praised for their gameness and their never-die spirit. DANIELS - POXSI JACKSON - MC HENRY PEARCE - LE HANE FOSTER - MAAS BERKELEY 22, ALUMNI 0. Berkeley won the last game of the pre-league season from an Alumni team that was considered stronger than the two they had previously defeated. Fine team work and good condition were the two principal things that caused the Alumni ' s defeat. A. C. A. L. SEASON BERKELEY 29, UNIVERSITY 0. Our first league game was played Wednes- day, October 12, on the old State League grounds at 57th and Grove Streets. The bleach- ers were packed with Berkeley and University supporters who turned out to see the teams play their first game. Although University is a small school, they had a fighting machine that was worthy of the largest institution and, though defeated, they proved this before the game was over. They started the game with a rush which was checked only after the ball had reached the 10-yard line. From then until the end of the game Berkeley took the offense, while University was put on the defense. By clever rushes by the Red and Gold the ball was advanced up the field when it was passed to Ponsi, who went over for the first try. This seemed to put the old fight into the team and they soon hit their old stride. The ball was then played on University ' s end of the field and McKibben and McHenry both went over for tries before the half ended. In the second half the team came back with the same aggressiveness and Maas, Daniels, and Jackson went over for the final tries. BERKELEY 25, OAKLAND TECH 0. In our second league game of October 18, the Berkeley High School rugby team defeated Oakland Technical by a 25 to 0 score, or the worst defeat that has been inflicted upon Tech for years. The game was a good exhibition of rugby and proved that our team was not merely a few stars but a smooth-running machine, and great credit is certainly due to Coach Graff for his share of the victory. COBB WYLIE COCHRANE NICKLEMAN The game was ours from the start. Bag Jackson went over the line for the first try after a long passing rush by both the backs and for- wards. Ingram ' s turn was next and after receiv- ing the ball from Maas, he scored the second try. McHenry hooked the ball from scrum and went over for the third one before half time. The second half was a repetition of the first. Wally Maas got going for forty yards and finished it up with a try. After the most inter- esting part of the game, which was when Tech held their own for a little while, Lady Pearce broke loose and passed to McHenry, who went over. Soon after that Louie Le Hane swerved through the Tech bunch for a try. Maas was next in line to go over and he did a few minutes later. Captain Bag Jackson showed some good form in converting tries. BERKELEY 0, FREMONT 10. In a hard-fought game held at Lincoln Park, Alameda, on October 25, our boys went down to defeat before the Fremont High School team by a score of 10 to 0. Fremont certainly had a wonderful team — they had to have to defeat Berkeley. Fremont started the game with a series of rushes which ended in a try and was easily con- verted, the try being made directly behind the goal posts. Again Fremont tried long rushes and Berkeley was fighting hard. However luck was against Berkeley and another Fremont man went over for a try. This also was made directly behind the goal posts and easily converted. From then on Berkeley seemed to get her old fight back and held Fremont. By the time the first half was over the Red and Gold boys had fully recovered from the disastrous first few minutes and they were on the offense, the back- field advancing the ball every time they touched it. During the second half Berkeley ' s goal was at no time in danger, and we were on the offens- ive the entire half but were unable to score. MC KIBBEX BEAM AX CLARK PATCHETT INGRAM BERKELEY 0, OAKLAND 0. On November 1, Berkeley tied her greatest rival. On the same day last year, Berkeley won the A. C. A. L. championship by defeating Alameda. The Oakland-Berk- eley game was played on the Alameda sand lot, Lincoln Park, which is made up of the following: sand, man-holes, pipes, and boards, the latter being used as sidelines. As for the game itself, Berkeley was on the offensive almost the entire game; the only time in which they were not, was when, by some fluke plays, Oakland succeeded in getting inside Berkeley ' s 25-yard line. Some clever kicking by Beaman and Le Hane soon put Oakland on the defense again. It was a forward game, the ball being confined to the forwards the greater part of the time, but when it did come out to the backs they certainly showed what was in them by making long runs. Captain Jackson and McKibben, at wing, showed some good form when they frequently made good gains. Jackson, who is undoubtedly one of the best forwards in the league, was sick when he started the game, but after receiving a few kicks and getting bunged up in general, he began to feel better and played his usual fast, fighting game. Luck certainly seemed to be against Berkeley for when a try in the second half seemed certain the time was up and the Oakland coach refused to play off a tie. The game ended 0-0. BERKELEY 0, ALAMEDA 3. The last game of the A. C. A. L. was played on November 7 against Alameda on their own grounds, Lin- coln Park, the sand-dune pleasure park. Berkeley was defeated. Everything seemed to go wrong. The forwards forgot their signals and forgot everything they had been taught by Coach Graff about packing and dribbling. The backfield very seldom received the ball and when they did they either fumbled or could not get started. At the start of the game Alameda pulled off a fluke kick which surprised our boys a little and Alameda was able to advance the ball inside of Berkeley ' s 25-yard line. After a few minutes of exciting playing Berkeley ' s for- wards were able to dribble in the direction of Alameda ' s goal and they did this. The remainder of the first half was taken up by forward playing near the center of the field. The game was a little more open in the second half and both backfields were able to show what they had when they made clever passing rushes. Alameda tried one of these, rushed, and succeeded in taking the ball to Berkeley ' s 25-yard line where a scrum was called. Alameda hooked the ball out and the halfback passed to the wing on the blind side, who ran 25 yards to Alameda ' s only try, in fact the only try of the game. Alameda had a strong pack of forwards while not as much can be said for their backfield. THE TEAM AS INDIVIDUALS. Captain Jackson. This is Bag ' s second season at front rank and his value to the team cannot be over estimated. His knowledge of the game and his fighting spirit, make him one of the best ruggers in the A. C. A. L. Wylie won his spurs at wing by his gameness and fine defensive work. Jack is a scrub and great things are to be expected from him in the next two years. Cobb and Beaman filled in at full to good advantage. Cobb ' s sure tackling, stopping of dribbling rushes, and kicking won him a place on the team. Beaman made a creditable showing when Cobb was forced to leave the game on account of injuries. The playing of McKibben at wing was one of the features of our fast backfield. Mack will be wearing the red and gold again next season. Les Ingram, a seasoned veteran, played a heady game and his tack- ling was a big favor in Berkeley ' s defense. Les will be missed next season. Karlo Ponsi played a great game at wing until the beginning of the A. C. A. L. when he was put out of the game on account of injuries. He was behind the team at all times. He graduates this Christmas. Louis Le Hane, the mainstay of the backfield, was constantly in the limelight with his heady playing. He also managed the team excellently. We will be fortunate to have Lou in the line-up again next year. Bud McHenry, a veteran of the team, showed to advantage at breakaway. His aggressiveness in the field has put him in a class by himself. Bud will be on hand again next year. Walt Maas, a veteran from last season, was shifted from wing to second five-eighths, where he played a great game. Maas ' confidence and ability to swerve, made many points for Berkeley. Patchett, considering his light weight, showed up well at lock. Clark ' s spirit of fight went a long way toward keeping the fellows going. Fat played a great game and never said die. He graduates this term. Bud Daniels played at halfback and, although a new man in the school, he handled the position as it should be played. Bud will be on the job again next fall. Bill Nickleman, a scrub in the school, showed to advantage at front rank. His hooking and tackling troubled many opponents. Gerald Pearce played a great game at wing forward on his first year out. His speed and fight spoiled many plays of our opponents. He has two more seasons of football ahead. Ed Cochrane, who filled in at breakaway, won a place on the team by his determination and fight. His ability to follow up the ball was a great asset to the team. Foster, who played wing on last year ' s second team, was put in at rear rank this season, because of his speed and weight. He was a great help to the scrum and figures to show up well again next year. Mention must be made of Rush, Sherwood, and Witter, who played well when the regulars were out with injuries. Too much credit cannot be given to the men who sit on the side lines waiting to get into action if they are called upon. NEXT SEASON. Since Berkeley High lost the A. C. A. L. championship this year, the first time we have lost in four years, we sincerely hope that next year will bring us better luck. This year ' s team was composed of fellows who would never say die and they were captained by one who was, without doubt, one of the best Rugby players in the league. The boys all went into the games with that spirit that very seldom loses, but on account of their extreme light weight were defeated when they met the heavier teams. Next year, however, there will be fourteen veterans back and we hope that they will come out victorious over the entire state. Of these fourteen men, two were on the State Championship Rugby team of 1916. The prospects for next year ' s team are certainly bright and we wish them the best of luck and a great success. THE WINNERS Indoor Baseball With Athletics for all as its slogan the second Inter-Advisory Indoor Baseball League started in August. Twenty advisories entered teams in the league. Teams were divided into three groups : Seniors, Middlers, and Scrubs. After a season of eight weeks the winners of the three class divisions met to play for the school championship. The Scrubs were eliminated when their champion, Mr. Bartholomew ' s Advisory, met defeat at the hands of Miss Hawkins ' champion Middlers, 43 to 6. The School Championship and a handsome trophy shield were won in the final game by the victory of Miss Hawkins ' Advisory ove r Miss Wartenweiler ' s Seniors 12 to 6. The winning team was composed of Hargear, Gee, Mor- tensen, Scraggs, Forsberg, Moore, and Harrington. To speed up games, teams were limited to five or seven players and five innings constituted a game. A student committee, headed by Pickles Horstmann, managed the league. Girls ' Athletics This term the girls have maintained and even increased their athletic spirit as is shown by the number who have come out for the various activities. As well as exhibiting pep in their own contests they have formed an important part of the rooting section at the football games. Girls ' swimming has been continued this term and Miss Roberts goes with the girls to Piedmont Baths on Monday afternoons. Increased interest has been shown in this activity for there were girls who volunteered to teach those who could not swim. At 5 o ' clock when they hear Miss Roberts ' whistle they wish they were submarines! Many have come out for rowing and it has remained a favorite sport. The crews go down to Lake Merritt every week with Miss O ' Neil and are obtaining muscle and pleasure, as well as sunburn and blisters. The third important sport is tennis. There is always interest in tennis and each term a better school court seems more and more a necessity. The semi-annual tournament was held at Live Oak Park on October 27. The winners were Helen Maslin and Elizabeth Powell. Girls ' athletics is not complete without a mention of the credit due to Miss O ' Neil for she has been the promoter of much of the interest and pep among the girls. Army Roll Albert Acheson Harry C.

POLICY We always laugh at teacher ' s jokes, No matter what they be; ' Tis not because they ' re funny, But because it ' s policy. —Ex. VACATION Gone, but not forgotten.

Passing a hand over his forehead, the worried drill-sergeant paused for breath as he surveyed the knock-kneed recruit. Then he pointed a scornful finger. No, he declared, you ' re hopeless. You ' ll never make a soldier. Look at you now. The top half of your legs is standing at attention, and the bottom half is standing at ease. — Ex. In the parlor there were three. She, the parlor lamp, and he; Two is company, no doubt. So the little lamp went out. There once was a high school called Lowell, Whose team was accustomed to know all. They crossed the Bay To Berkeley one day, And went home feeling much in the hole. We used to have a Tong-War And the apples flew from the basement door; But the culprits were caught And a lesson was taught, And now school to some is a bore.
