Berkeley High School - Olla Podrida Yearbook (Berkeley, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1937 volume:

As the semester draws to a close, I wish to thank the faculty and the student body for their splendid support and cooperation during the term. It has been a pleasure to direct the affairs of Berkeley High School with the knowledge that there was a spirit of true cooperation within the school. This was very evident by the fine response of the student body to the various school activities. I wish especially to commend the members of the graduating class for their leadership in setting the pace for the student body of Berkeley High. The class has shown unusual ability in this respect and I am certain many will develop into outstanding leaders in their professions or vocations. This, however, rests with the individuals and depends upon their own efforts. The two important factors that contribute to success are hard work and worthy companions. With the opening of the fall semester a new group of leaders will come into the picture—the incoming high twelves. Berkeley High expects much of them and looks to them for that same type of leadership so ably portrayed by their predecessors. I have every reason to believe that they will measure up to our expectations. judging by their interest and enthusiasm in this term’s activities. The school’s first and all important interest is scholarship. In this, as in the activities program, we expect the senior class to set the pace and maintain that same high standard for which Berkeley High School has been noted. The extra curricular program of the school will receive more emphasis than in the past since it is recognized that citizenship training is so very essential in a democracy, and that the only real way to develop worthy citizens is through actual participation. An attempt, therefore, will be made to build these extra activities into the school program with the thought that a larger percentage of the students will participate in a carefully planned and supervised program.

SENIOR SHOW CAS E BASKETBALL SEASON Although handicapped by the lack of a gym for home games and regular practice sessions, the Yellow-jackets, under Coach Eadie, finished a successful season and placed third in the A.C.A.L. T he Jackets got off to a late start in the practice schedule, losing five games in a row, but came back strong after the Christmas holidays to break even in a 12-game program. The Red and Gold five finished strong in the league competition, losing two heart-breakers to Piedmont and Hayward by a single basket in the last minute of play. Had Berkeley won these two games, the Jackets would have been on top, instead of near the bottom of the A.C.A.L. heap. Berkeley finished strong in the A.C.A.L. by trouncing Richmond 34-19, and played its best game against the Cal Frosh when it lost a comparatively close contest to the strong yearling quintet. Bill Fulton, veteran who played steady ball at guard all season, and Johnny Ken-ward, promising guard who should be a great asset to the team next year, were big factors in the Yellow-jackets’ victories. Other memebrs of the squad who will return next season are: Vernon Gcnesy, center; Bob Olson, guard; Jack Price, guard. Varsity players who are graduating include Art Bohnert, guard; Nels Hambcrg, forward: Bill MacDougall, guard; Bob Singh, center, and John Tietjen, guard. BASKE'I BAI.I. INDIVIDUALS BASKETBALL INDIVIDUALS Ray Lamanno, forward, was Berkeley’s high scorer for the season, despite the fact that he joined the squad during the Christinas vacation. He was the most polished player on the team, and the unanimous choice for all-county honors. He graduates this year. The determination and fight'' of Frank Thomas, guard, gave him a position on the first five over more experienced material. He was Berkeley’s most valuable defensive player. Boh Bushy, rangy center and forward, is a veteran of last year’s team. He was handicapped by an illness prior to this season. He was a reliable player and a good defensive man. Fred Lindsey at forward made up for his lack of speed with his aggressive offensive play and accurate shooting. He has another year of basketball at B.H.s. Chet Berggrkn, who started out at forward, gained experience as the season progressed and came through as a strong center near the close of the schedule. He played his best game against the Cal Frosh.

With Horace “Babe” Schauer, three-year star forward; Warner Howard, center; Don White, guard; Bob Warner, guard, and Arthur “Buzzy Bither, forward, graduating, next year’s Bee outfit will probably be built around 1937 second-string players. The rest of the squad was composed of Oliver Hillberg, center; Frank Sinclair, forward; Yukio Hibino, forward; Bill Lambert, forward; Bill Schauer, forward; A1 Naphan, guard; Bob Martin, guard; Jack Cottle, guard; Lloyd Callaway, guard, and Bill Fontcnrose, forward. BASEBALL The 1937 baseball team was composed, with the exception of one outfielder, of boys who formed the 1936 second team. These boys being without first team experience gained confidence in the practice contests and. after losing the second league game to Richmond. tied and defeated Alameda with whom they shared the championship. The strength of the team was well balanced. The pitching department was exceptionally strong with Dundas, Hansen, Fratres, and Maderas in shape at all times. The fielding was practically faultless and the hitting, especially in the latter part of the season, left nothing to be desired. The outstanding players both on defense and offense were Pierre Loustalet at third base and jimmy Gibson at shortstop. Lamanno and Hvidt handled the catching assignments. Urban Ramos played the entire season at first base. Mamie Viramontes and Bob Olson did the work at second base. The outfielding assignments were handled by Dickie Colburn, Alfred Duesdieker, Harvey Nelsen, and Bill Ramos. Bob Hvidt also played several innings in the outer garden. The only boys who will graduate from the 1937 squad are Herb Dundas, Harvey Nelsen, and Urban Ramos. With several from this year’s second team in line to work hard for 1938 positions, the baseball outlook at Berkeley High School is exceedingly bright. The Yellowjacket Unlimiteds did very well this year both in their A.C.A.L. and practice games under the guiding hand of Coach Jennings. In seventeen starts the Jackets won eleven, lost five, and tied one. Pierre Loustalet was elected honorary captain for the 1937 season. By tying for the 1937 championship, B.H.S. has held the top in the A.C.A.L. for the past four years. SCHEDULE FINAL STANDINGS Berkeley—3 . . Hayward—0 W. T. L. Pis. Berkeley—4 .

In the 1936 season the team won thirteen games while this spring term they have just finished with fourteen victories and one tie game for an undefeated season. This is the best record the “Bee” team, the training school for the stars of tomorrow, has ever had. Coach Erickson has given all the players a chance in actual competition, using as many as twenty or more boys in a game. The “B squad started the 1937 season with 35 or more boys on the squad. Joe Rossi, catcher; Gene Bryant and Frank Sinclair, pitchers; Roy Weimann, first base; Herbert Bull, second base; Eldon Mura tore, third base; Earl Wilson, shortstop; Harold Anderson, left field; Ernie Correia, center field; and Fred Lindsey, right field, were the regulars of the winning team. The season’s fine record has been due to the splendid fielding of the entire team; the pitching of Bryant and Sinclair; the extra base hitting of Herb Bull, Fred Lindsey, “Hack Wilson, and Harold Anderson. Much of the credit for the fine record, without defeat, has been due to the excellent training of Coach Erickson. TRACK SEASON Berkeley High School's track and field squad has enjoyed the most successful season in many years. For the first time dual meets were held between A.C.A.L. members. Berkeley proved to be too powerful for the other league teams, defeating Piedmont and Alameda by large scores, and winning from Richmond by default. In the other dual meets the Yellowjackets emerged victorious by decisive margins. They won the Alameda County Athletic League meet, beating Piedmont, the nearest competitor, by over twenty points. I hc team slumped badly following the A.C.A.L. meet, and, as a result, failed to retain their North Coast crown. As the Pod goes to press, the Yellowjackets are preparing for the State meet at Long Beach. For the first time in many years Berkeley is conceded a good chance of annexing first place. The squad this year was very well-balanced with at least one good man in every event. The team was supported by the consistently brilliant performances of Co-Captain Don McFarland, Henry Sims, and A1 Collier. McFarland was one of the fastest sprinters in this section. Sims and Collier were both excellent broad jumpers as well as high jumpers. Sims has a slight edge in the broad jump, while Collier had what little advantage there was in the high jump. Both athletes have been jumping record distances all year. Other outstanding performers were: John Shepherd, Kugene Cowan and Harold Sidmore in the hurdles: Co-Captain Lowell Smith and Ed Sunt, both 11-foot pole vault-ers; Jerome Richardson and Bob Bowers in the 880: Don White and George Morgan in the MO: ('arl Stromberg and Mickey Alderettc in the mile: Merle Alexander, fine shot putter, and John Kemvard, an exceptional discus thrower. Next year's prospects are not so encouraging even though there will be a fine group of athletes returning. Coach Lamar will have as a nucleus: Sidmore and Shepherd, hurdlers; Carl Stromberg, Bob Bowers, and Mickey Alderette in the distance races; Bob Harthop and Bob Gegan in the pole vault; John Kemvard in the discus and shot put; A1 Vallejo in the sprints; George Morgan in the 440; and several other promising newcomers.

TRACK INDIVIDUALS SWIMMING SEASON For many years the swimming teams of Berkeley High School have been very successful. This year the Yellow jackets swam true to form, having won all their practice meets. In the A.C.A.L. meet they triumphed in both class A and class B. As the Pod goes to press, the team is anticipating the North Coast meet with a good chance of taking first place honors. This year’s squads were very strong with excellent performers in every event. Charles Lee was the mainstay of the 50- and 100-yard free style races, placing first in nearly every meet. In the 220-yard free style Armand Nelson and Ralph Ready did excellently. Wendell ( Pee Wee') Harris competed in the free style events and turned in many commendable performances. Preston Durley and Charles Seiner represented the Red and Gold in the back stroke. Captain George I)e Kay was one of the outstanding performers on the squad. He was down near record times in all his races. Charles Healy and Russel Pierce also swam breast stroke. In the diving Berkeley had Charles Healy, Arnold Songey, and Walter White. In class B, Charley Parker was the best in the breast stroke. He broke the A.C.A.L. class B 100-yard breast stroke record by three seconds. Kenny Street usually swam a close second. Captain Ken Patton, Bob Dietrich, Jim Waesche, and Dick De Kay held down the free style events. Herb Zastrow and John Foster were the class B backstroke artists. Dick De Kay did very well in the diving.

SWIMMING SOI'AD SWIMMING INDIVIDUALS TENNIS TEAM TENNIS The Ycllowjacket tennis team under the guidance of Coach Parker completed a fairly successful season this year, winning three and losing three of their games. The Jackets were handicapped at the first of the season due to the fact that Henry Powers was sick and could not play in the first game against Piedmont. The 1937 team consisted of “Gunny” Amonette in the number one position; Henry Powers, playing number two; Jack Selstead, number three: Ben Rice and Phil Brown at four and five, and Pete Nettlcman as alternate. The number one doubles team consisted of Amonette and Powers, while Rice and Brown played in the number two doubles position. Amonette, Selstead. and Rice graduate, leaving Powers, Brown, and Nettleman to return for the 1938 season. Alameda won the A.C.A.L. crown this year but due to the fine performance of the Jackets’ ace doubles team, Amonette and Powers played in the North Coast meet at the University of California on May 22. SCHEDULE Berkeley defeated Richmond, 7-0 Piedmont defeated Berkeley, 5-2 Alameda defeated Berkeley, 4-3 Berkeley defeated Richmond, 7-0 Berkeley defeated Piedmont, 6-1 Alameda defeated Berkeley, 4-3 GOLF TEAM GOLF Berkeley High opened the 1937 golf season with only two members of last year’s team, Jimmy Moore and Dave Jones. The team did very well in its pre-season matches, but the veteran teams of the other A.C. A.L. members offered stiffer competition. As the Olla Podrida goes to press, Berkeley has lost its first four matches, two to Alameda and one each to Piedmont and Richmond. However, the season is unique in that the boys on the team have, for the first time, been given the opportunity of practicing at the Berkeley Country Club with professional instruction. This will be a great help in shaping material for future years. Next year the team will make full use of this opportunity and perhaps become a winner in league competition. The team that played in the A.C.A.L. this year was composed of George Parrish, No. 1; David Jones, No. 2; Jim Van Slyke, No. 3; James Moore, No. 4; Steve Brashear, No. 5, and Jim Beall, No. 6. Jimmy Moore, a senior, was the most consistent point player, giving Berkeley all of her points in the A.C.A.L. matches. Next year's team will be built around Jones, Parrish, Beall, and Patterson.
