ALUMNI NOTES FFF Miss Rose Schmidt is one of the two candidates for Associated Women Students President at the University of California. Th¢ presidency is perhaps the greatest honor that the women of the University can confer, and all Alameda’s wishes are with Miss Schmidt, who was well known and well beloved when at Alameda High. Since at college she has been very prominent in all activities and has done particularly well in dramatics. Mr. Fritz Claxton, ’07, is taking a few weeks’ trip in the North. He expects to enter a bank before long. During her week vacation from Stanford Miss Jane Cooper graced the school with her presence. Miss Minnie Anderson day by day warbles away the dreary hours of noon with her singing. It is delightful to have such girls come back. Miss Helen White enjoyed a week’s vacation in Sonoma County away from the turmoil of college life. Mr. Nason was seen dodging the scrubs about the building on bright Thursday. The class of December, ’07, has held several meetings, obvi- ously for business but in reality for pleasant evenings. Though small in numbers, the class is large in union and good feeling. If there is any shorthand to be done apply to Misses Young and Bradley. Mr. McLaughlin is leading them along the thorny path to wisdom. Among the Alameda High alumni that graduate from Berkeley this spring are Miss Olive Dillon, Miss Willa Sale, Miss Meta Eggers, Miss Myrtle Ward, Miss Leona Hale, Mr. Arthur Alveraz and Mr. Stephen Otis. Mr. Ralph Marx, December ’06, is at Pennsylvania University. 3un Memoriun FRANK O’BRIEN Bied in Alameda, California April 2, 1908
