Text from Pages 1 - 24 of the 1961 volume:

Mrs. O'Connor and Mr. Nelson both smile approval at the Ninth Grade Shield and Song. The Ninth Grade Classroom is called Shield Hall where the famous shields have a place of honor. The Shield of 1961 By CAROL OSHERENKO Many hours of thought, labor, and genius combined to make our shield the most fabulous, stupendous, colossal shield in Shield Hall. Mary Montgomery, Linda Downey and Pam Hill artistically and imaginatively designed the shield. The boys, under Clark Spaulding's management and Mr. Richard's skillful direction, efficiently and expertly constructed the shield. Again the girls took over the painting. During this period of careful preparation, Ann Savage, with a committee of girls, wrote the Shield Song. The Song, to the tune of Thank Heaven for Little Girls, outranks any other song ever written by a previous, inexperienced ninth grade. Finally the day of unveiling came. The Place-Berkeley Hall School. The Time-9:00 P.M. The Date-January 20. Occa- sion-Shield Dance. The auditorium was decorated with yellow and red streamers and thousands of balloons lined the walls. Jay Oren gave a breath-taking speech and then the ninth grade sang their song with all the vigor and enthusiasm they could put forth. Then came the SHIELD. The seventh and eighth grades were breath- less. Amazing-dazzling-the Shield of '61, The shields of for- mer years lining the walls of the auditorium looked dejected. They must all reside in the shadows now. Let's Sing To the Tune of Thanh Heaven for Little Girls By ANN SAVAGE and COMMITTEE Thank heaven for our great Shield. There's nothing that outranks it in the world. Colossal, it's really great, The Class of '6l's Shield really rates. The Shield and our motto we'll retain We do not mean to be bragging or so vain, REI-TRAIN But, thank heaven for our great Shield. Thailzk heaven for our Shield, no matter where, no matter w en, Without it what would our class do? Thank heaven, thank heaven, thank heaven for our great Shield. Thank heaven for our grand shield, The lion represents our class's strength. SfUPeUd0US, it'S just plain bold, with colors such as blue and red and gold. The horse stands for the ninth's supremacy. Well run the race and come out with victory. REFRAIN . . . repeat. CHAUNCEY B. NELSON DEDICATION Mr. Nelson is the perfect example of a Christian Scientist who listens to God and makes the right decisions for the school's welfare. He is like a coach train- ing his team for the final victory of knowledge. Mr. Nelson brings out the good in a situation and never looks for the bad only to destroy it. Mr. Nelson is a man of spiritual strength and wisdom. He is out best friend because a true friend is one who praises when we deserve it and criticizes constructively. He has the studentis best interest at heart. Mr. Nelson means Wise and sufficient' guidance. Mr. Nelson's gentle, quiet manner has Won him the respect of every Berkeley Hall student. He has been a father to us and has faithfully stood with us during our trials. His biggest joy is seeing his students make their demon- stration. Mr. Nelson has given us a sense of security and a sense of right and wrong. His wisdom has kept many a fortnightly from being a failure. A little love, security, and trust makes everyone love Mr. Nelson. WE ARE ATHE CLASS OE 1963 Our Mrs. Warne SI-IARI BLEICHMAN The Seventh Grade was very happy when Mrs. Warne joined our class as teacher. She has been wonderful to us and a very good teacher. Her jokes are often funny and they usually mean for us to get down to work. Mrs. Warne has taught us a great deal, especially in arithmetic and spelling. She has gotten many good ideas from her lunch pal, Mrs. Hall. I know our class has enjoyed Mrs. Warne immensely. Art BY CAROL MAU At the beginning of the year, Mrs. Richards taught the seventh grade girls the primary and secondary colors. We drew twelve designs showing the colors and their compliments. Next we drew twelve additional designs to show the tints, tones, shades and hues. After that we made a color wheel of twelve to eighteen colors. Our next project was to draw a very simple picture and make it out of colored paper, like a mosaic. We also made monograms, initials, and designs out of our initials. We then made a picture out of pieces of paper, cut in any design, and finished it without using any pencils. We cut a shape and decided what it could be. Then we built a picture around it. This was a very interesting project. We recently finished drawing decorations for the Sixth Grade Dance. Our theme was the Roaring Twenties. It has truly been an exciting year. World News Study BY KIM AUSTIN This year, with the help of Mrs. Dlouhy, the Seventh Grade has been studying news around the world. While Khrushchev was visiting the U. S. last fall, we studied Bill Henry's column in the Times. We have also studied the election and its results. jon Jarvis' father visited the class and related his visit with and impressions of Mr. Nixon. Because of this year of study, the Seventh Grade will have a clearer understanding of elections and world news. Famous Explorers MELISSA BOSLER AND KEN CROW Our first assembly was on famous explorers. We told of the daring adventures of such men as Columbus, Magellan, La Salle, and Hudson. For this assembly some of our talented artists drew a large freehand map of the world. Using this map for reference, we located the territories explored by these famous men. We told of twelve different men from Marco Polo to Hernando Cortez. We enjoyed learning about these famous men and sharing our information at our assembly. Picnic Day For our Picnic Day this year the Seventh Grade enjoyed a day of fun at Shari Bleichman's house in May. We particularly liked the swimming and the sunshine, and oh yes, no school work! Old Newspapers BY DON MCCARTY During the first semester julie Warner's father gave an in- teresting talk on his hobby, newspapers, and he brought some of the rare and old papers from his collection. One of them was the first newspaper printed in the United States, The People's Occurrences. In his collection he also had the news- papers telling of the burial of Washington, the death of Lincoln, and the different wars we have had. Mr. Warner showed an English newspaper with gold printing telling of the coronation of Queen Victoria. He has a very rare newspaper made of blue silk with gold ink. This paper was printed in San Francisco to be sent to the WOrld's Fair in Chicago to show that the United States could print just as beautiful newspapers as Europe could. Unfortun- ately it never reached Chicago. So in 1854, the San Francisco presses rolled out more copies, but there are very few in existence today. We saw many more newspapers from his collection about important events in history, and were very fortunate to have heard Mr. Warner's talk. Space Projects By DOREE CITRON 8: MELISSA BOSLER In the Seventh Grade, we have made interesting space projects. We put all of our valuable information together to form our last assembly. The program ended with quotations from the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings regarding the material and spiritual universe. To go with our space reports we made two large posters, one of the X-15 and the other of the Project Mercury. Slides on Europe BY SUSAN ATTRIDGE The junior high had a special treat in April when Mrs. Cardozo exhibited some of her fascinating slides on Europe. These pictures helped us a great deal with our studies since the countries that were shown followed along with our litera- ture classes. Greece, Italy, Egypt, and England were some of the many countries that were visited. Mrs. Cardozo gave very interesting explanations of the slides as well as valuable bits of information for which we are very grateful. Our Assembly BY BETH HILL just after Dwight D. Eisenhower left Ofi'ice as President of the United States, the seventh grade gave an assembly on his life. We told some of the interesting and important facts about his family background, his boyhood, his military career, and his political career. We also discussed his religious background and his great service to the United States and the world. Baseball Challenge BY STEVEN BRADLEY In April, the Seventh Grade accepted a challenge to a base- ball game with the Sixth Grade. We thought we were not ready because of so little practice. It was amazing, however, when we got up to bat. Most of the team got hits and one run after another! We won the game with an overwhelming 11 to 4. 1 . 1 -. , J 'SSN N I r I ., 1 J tl a ., ti., -it ' ' W 'br at ,, t l sg M. A cha X ws 91 x Lx an-tg wig a is im 2 ta W 2 s, K l ' . ' ..

From our studies we have discovered that fish can talk, that plants grow in total darkness, that rough objects heat up faster than smooth ones, that you should never hold a lighted match near gasoline, and that flour can explode. I think science is one of Berkeley Hall's best classes! A Visit to the Cardozo Card Company By JANALEE MEYHAUS One day early in March, the girls in our class visited the Buzza-Cardozo Card Company. We were conducted on a tour of the plant by a member of the staff. We were shown through every department of the plant, including the art department where the cards are designed, the construction department where the cards are printed, and the selling department. It was very interesting, and we learned to appreciate cards more. This Year's Football BY TOR KENWARD This year we had an exciting football season. It started off with the Whites winning most of the games. But the most remarkable thing that happened was the ball game at the end of the season that really brought excitement. Everybody was there to see us-from the 4th grade to the 9th grade. There were cheer leaders also. After the opening ceremonies, the game began, and the unexpected Blues had a defense which the Whites could not break. At the end the Blues won by one point. THREE HUNDRED NORTH SWALL By STEVE ARTHUR We are the Class of Sixty One. Our troubles have only just begun, Two more years at Berkeley Hall, That wonderful school, 300 North Swall. Two more years of work and fun, Expressing kindness, love to everyone, Arithmetic, spelling, literature, too, Working hard to avoid that All united we still stand Knowing that victory will be grand, With faith in each other, one and all, In that wonderful school, 300 North Swall. A TALE OF JOY By MELISSA BOSLER Of all the tales that I've been told There is one I like the best. It happens on a midnight cold When every child is at rest. Across the sky streaks Santa Claus And his reindeer all so gay. You can hear his hearty Ho's and As he hurries on his way. HI-Ia-,Sv He visits many a happy home Before his night's work is done, Through many a sky he will roam Sharing joy with everyone. ALL FOR 8 AND 8 FOR ALL Class Motto Work Work Work Watch and Pray By CHRISTOPHER BRIX The class motto was submitted by Anne Moore and Jane Grimbleby. It was designed and painted by Anne Archer and Anne Moore. It was found in one of Mrs. Eddy's works. The eighth grade since the beginning of school has had six elections. The presidents have been: Donald Kreiger, Carol DeWindt, William Cox, Gail Osherenko, Jeffery Jarvis, Anne Moore, and Anne Archer. Our secretaries have been: Carolyn Sage, Melody Paxton, Christine Downey, Anne Moore, Erin Jurow, and William Cox. This year the eighth grade has had ten blue card winners. They are: Anne Archer, Kent Attridge, William Cox, Carol DeWindt, Jeffery Jarvis, Erin Jurow, Donald Kreiger, Virginia McCormick, Anne Moore, and Gail Osherenko. Goals in Literature By JAYNE PESANTE This year Mrs. Dlouhy mapped out new and interesting goals in literature for our class. We have explored the interior of a continent of poetry with such renowned bards as Longfellow and Whitman. We delved into the worn pages of several classics such as A Clarirtnzar Carol, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Evangeline. Not only have we learned to analyze and evaluate poems and stories but some of our classmates have endeavored to create poems of their own, and with considerable success! Future Citizens Training Now By BILL Cox This spring the eighth graders have been busily working on their Constitution notebooks. We have put all our efforts into making them marvelous masterpieces. We are well informed on every detail of how the Constitution was made to the steps in passing a bill through Congress. Using every magazine or newspaper we could find, we searched diligently for pictures of Senators, Representatives, Cabinet members, and the like. The recent presidential elections offered an opertune time to increase our knowledge of how a president is elected. This Constitution study has given us a greater appreciation of our government and its functions. Mr. Richard's Junior Physicists By MICHAEL DAY This year in Mr. Richard's science class We have studied a wide variety of interesting subjects. They are: weather and the earth's atmosphere, astronomy, electricity and magnetism, which were made interesting by Mr. Richard's sometimes successful experiments, different kinds of energy, especially atomic energy, sound, the petroleum, and mechanical devices. We also studied out of a booklet published by General Motors dealing with automobiles, airplanes, rockets and diesel engines. Last fall, Mr. Richards took us on a tour through the Griffith Park Observatory. We saw many interesting science exhibits and an informative show about the stars. As you can see, this year has been a rich and full year in Mr. Richard's science class. Tuning in on Music' By DON KRIEGER Music has been great fun this year. It started with our Christmas Assembly in which we sang Carol of the Drums - Davis, Break Forth O Beauteous Heavenly Light, and a few others. As a special privilege in the Eighth Grade we went carolling in the evening which we all enjoyed. We sang many old favorites, and carolled at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. After the Christmas season we continued to buckle down and work. We learned The Blue Danube -Strauss, Vesper Hymn, I Believe, and Joshua Fight the Battle of Jericho. These songs were sung at our music assembly in June. Sheep and Lambs May Safely Graze by Bach was sung on the supreme day-Graduation. Garden Gift By LARRY SANsoNE The eighth grade garden of 1961 has really gotten under way. We were surprised one day before dismissal to find a beautiful garden planted outside our room by the Osherenko family and their gardener. Among the plants are Hibiscus, Begonias, Daisies, Ferns, Roses and Iris, some of which bloom according to seasons while other bloom year round. Many thanks to the Osherenko family for making possible a lovely garden and to Memphis for keeping it in condition. Budding Artists By ANNE ARCHER Through all the past fortnightlies the eighth grade girls have been working diligently to put the colorful decorations on the auditorium walls. They found the work rewarding under the loving guidance of Mrs. Richards. She gave them many hints on how to make our decorations more elegant, cheerful and eye- catching. For each dance the girls chose a theme and worked around this theme. For the Christmas formal they all made Christmas cards with different illustrations on them. For the spring formal the theme was flowers, and each student made different flower arrangements. Some of the other themes for the decorations were made especially to be appropriate for the occasion. For Halloween they made witches and pumpkins. For the Valentine dance there were red, pink and purple valentines to brighten the auditorium. Those funny cartoon characters, the Flintstones, were also a theme. When the parents were permitted to drop in and take part in one of the dances, the girls used a mother daughter, father son theme. They have enjoyed thoroughly this happy experience and they know it will help them in later schools if they should take art courses. Christian Science on the Front Lines By CHRISTINE DOWNEY Mr. Kenneth Fisher gave a talk on World War Two. He told how the men lived on the battle fronts, how they felt about the war, and the destruction they saw done, the boxed meals they ate, and the many hours of training each day. He had a map to show his travels with the Ninetieth Division. He had many pictures and medals of honor including a purple heart. Mr. Fisher also had many Nazi medals which he had found and many Nazi flags which he acquired from Nazi buildings or on the battle fields. Mr. Fisher explained how he used Christian Science at every moment and in every experience. at 'li f .' '.:E V ' -2 ' il' .

From Abstract to Fossils By CAROL DEWINDT On May 2, our class toured the Los Angeles County Museum. Miss Nugent, was our very excellent guide. After looking at the birds and learning the difference between a crow and a raven, we gazed at the Natural History dioramas. The backgrounds of these scenes were extremely real, and the animals themselves looked as though they would move at any moment. Miss Nugent showed us the different steps in making the animals to be used in the dioramas, and we surveyed the scenes with renewed zeal. Our faithful guide gave us a very wonderful lecture on Picasso and explained that in modern art the artist does not try to paint the outside appearance of an object, but attempts to express the emotion connected with the portrayal. While we looked at a painting of Saint Bernardino, Miss Nugent explained the meaning of the three miters arranged around the saint as thus: Thrice had Saint Bernardino been offered the office of bishop and three times had he refused. The honorable saint loved to teach and he taught that all men, regardless of human lineage and family, are the children of God. It is for this man that our present city of San Bernardino is named. Miss Nugent finished her fascinating tour by saying that a museum is a link with the past and future, joining all men in one grand brotherhood. The class then divided into several groups and surveyed such things as dinosaurs, chickens hatching, and a bee hive. Funfilled Frolic By CAROLYN SAGE The Eighth Grade Picnic Day was held on May 16th at the Cheviot Hills Park. Arriving around 10 a.m. at the park, the tennis and volley ball courts soon filled up, as well as the baseball diamond. At noon a delicious lunch was served by the Mother's Play Day Committee. The lunch tasted extra good because we barbecued our own hot dogs, ate home made baked beans, relishes, and drank many bottles of ice cold soft drinks. The lunch was topped off by the most delightful assortment of cakes ever seen on a picnic table! Around 2 o'clock, the class returned to school to swim in the pool which was reserved especially for us. Famous Faces, Places and Events By ANNE MOORE Before beginning our Constitution study the eighth grade finished the second half of the history book which we started in seventh grade. After finishing each unit, which contained two or three chapters, each student selected a famous man, woman or event for an oral report. After going to the library and making other extensive research work we gave a complete oral report to the class on our character and showed pictures from books to illustrate our talks. For each report every student drew a picture of his character or of some- thing pertaining to this characters life. Some pictures were painted, some were in pencil or ink, and others were in colored pencil or chalk. There were also many other original ideas such as silhouettes cut from colored paper or pieces of tapestry. These pictures made a colorful and attractive border for our room. Presentation of the Flag By GAIL OSHERENKO p For our April assembly the eighth grade told the history of the flag from the Declaration of Independence in 1776 to the 50 star Old Glory of today. Reports on each flag over that period of time were written and given by Bill Cox, Anne Moore, Carol DeWindt, Don Krieger, Carolyn Sage, Kent Attridge, Mary Cameron and Anne Archer. Pictures of flags illustrating the talks were drawn- by Mike Day, Jane Grimbleby, Erin Jurow, Jayne Pesante, Christine Downey, Virginia McCormick, Barry Greenslate, Gina Killough, Melody Paxton, and Don Durran. Then the assembly turned from the 50 stars and 50 states of the American Flag to a big surprise. Last year our class held a record auction in which almost every class of Berkeley Hall participated. Some of the money raised by that auction had not been used. The gift we chose to present was one that we thought was needed and one we took great pride and pleasure in presenting to Berkeley Hall School. Larry Sansone and Chris Brix dra- matically opened the curtains and there was a new beautiful 50 star flag. We all stood and saluted Berkeley Hall's new 50 star flag. . I In 1 f 4 Fl HISTORY OE THE CLASS OE 1961 Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health, The purification of sense and self is a proof of progress. Nobody can graduate from Berkeley Hall without feeling a sense of mental and spiritual growth. A verse from Shakespeare is, All the world's a stage and all the people are actors. My history of the Class of '61 is in the form of a stage script. Berkeley Hall represents the stage and the students are the actors. Act I. Nursery and Kindergarten Scene I. Nursery Actors: Jr. Nursery--Bonnie Bleichman, Deloris Cardozo, Linda Ertz, Cheryl Fickett, Bruce Carde, Mary Montgomery, Jane Larson, Lynne Stimson and Carol Osherenko. julie Ann DeVoe, Ann Savage, jay Oren, and Pam Hill joined in Sr. Nursery. Directors: Mrs. Owen, Jr. Nursery, and Mrs. Winkler, Sr. Nursery. Our plot included painting abstract arts, modeling clay, trans- lating picture books, tying our shoes, and counting to ten. We also made artistic hats and costumes. Parading through the campus by holding a rope to keep us together, we proudly showed them olf. Scene II. Kindergarten Directors: Mrs. Scallan and Mrs. Cashin This year we learned how to write our names and ride tri- cycles. We were taught to put our toys away after we were through using them. This idea was a blessing to all parents. Act II. Primary Mother Goose Buildings Scene I. First Grade Directors: Miss Horner and Mrs. Lyon New Actors: Sandy Gossland and joy Rich In First Grade we learned to read, write, add and subtract, and spell. We were included in the Sugar Plum program at Christmas and an Easter egg hunt in the spring. The number one song on our hit parade was Little Mousey Brown. We studied Indians and their food, and on Indian Day we had a lunch of our own corn mush. We also had a dress up day when we came dressed in our favorite outhts. Scene II: Second Grade Director: Mrs. Iwert Our plot included scientific experiments, spelling, and double numbers in arithmetic. The hangout of the class was the tree- house and private house by the office. We did daring stunts on the jungle gym. Scene III. Third Grade Director: Mrs. Davis Actors: Sharon Nance and Adele Wilken This year we didn't have to take naps, but what we would give for them now! We could select our own lunch and usually got two desserts, one before lunch and one after, for a well balanced meal. The class did many plays on the stage in our room and the girls played house in the back field bushes, much to the disapproval of Memphis. Act III. Intermediate Classes Scene I. Fourth Grade Director: Mrs Taylor Actors:Dorothy and Donald Ledbetter, jim Whitmore, and Carol Osherenko joined us once more. Our plot for our first big campus year included arithmetic to the champagne music of Mrs. Taylor at the piano and the Frog Dance around the room. The girls enjoyed dreaming over the voice of Elvis while the boys turned into great athletes. We took part in the Intermediate Halloween party, Play Day, Our Christmas Program, and Graduation, when we sang The Lordk Pmyeru with the fifth and sixth grades. Scene II. Fifth Grade Director: Miss Mallon Actress: Linda Downey Miss Mallon stressed history and English. We perfected our trading card collections and hop scotch. Some of the more romantic members got married during recess by a volunteer minister. Scene III. Sixth Grade Directors: Mrs. O'Connor and Mrs. Henry Actress: Mary Ellen Whitmore We were welcomed in the sixth grade with Mrs. O'Connor who loved to pull us by the ear as she marched back and forth in the front of the room reciting multiplication tables. We each willingly gave her two pretzels after lunch and sometimes a wormy apple. Mrs. O'Connor left us in the middle of the year to teach ninth grade and Mrs. Henry took over. We enjoyed such luxuries in the sixth grade as our little room, a long win- dow above the street where books and papers just happen to fall out, and an old heater where you are bound to get scalded at least once in the year. Mrs. O'Connor set the hottest record. Act IV. Junior High Scene I. Seventh Grade Directors: Miss Keppel, Mrs. Dlouhy, Social Studies New Comets: Ronald Ballard, Lloyd Paul, David Shoop, Phyllis Halleman This year we started an exciting episode of fortnightlies and long homework, blue cards which the majority of the class earned through the loving help of Miss Keppel. She also taught us to write legibly, which we all needed. We also enjoyed taking part in the big assemblies and programs. It was a new experience being divided into the talented, stupendous, sporty, outstanding, cool, and superior Blues or the square Whites. Scene II. Eighth Grade Directors: Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Dlouhy, Literature New Actors: Pamela Sharman and Marilynn Scott This was scholastically one of the most outstanding years we, or any other class, has had. Once we mastered 25 of our 50 blue cards. The girls made decorations for the dances with the help of Mrs. Richards, and the boys studied science with Mr. Richards. We used our artistic ability on the Constitution Notebooks. This was a delightful year for ditching. We got a day off to visit Walt Disney's studios, a picnic day at Marine- land, and a day at the beach, awarded to us for our twenty- five blue cards. Scene III. Last, but not least-Ninth Grade Directors: Mrs. O'Connor, Mrs. Dlouhy, literature, Miss Niles, French Our dynamic and kingly plot this year consisted of sewing, drafting, a fashion show, ditch day, and many unexpected history and algebra tests. The highlight is the coming Graduation Day. We have striven hard to perfect algebra and history, and spiced all subjects with Mrs. OfConnor's good humor. The class en- joyed making its stupendous shield and presiding over our royal Shield Dance. Even if the boys are outnumbered 20 to 8, our names will go down in history as the most never-to-be-forgotten class to occupy Shield Hall, the headquarters of the ninth grade of Berkeley Hall School. Assembly on Bible Characters By MARY MONTGOMERY The first term papers of the ninth grade were on Bible charac- ters. The papers were so interesting that we decided to share our ideas with the other classes in an assembly. Almost everyone at Berkeley Hall knows the story of each famous person in the Bible such as Joseph, Jacob, Moses, Solo- mon, Ruth, and Esther, who were discussed in our program. In- stead of telling the story of the lives of these Bible characters 'we told parts of their lives that would bring out their characteristics. 'It was brought out that Jacob compared to joseph had to learn to love and have faith in God and to love everyone. On the other hand, Joseph had always loved God, trusted in Him, and loved everyone, even his brothers -who hated him. Solomon, who at first loved God, later prided and loved his material possessions of wealth more than anything else including God. Moses, compared to him, put God before all else. Although he was brought up in a wealthy king's palace, he left riches behind to help the children of Israel reach the Promised Land and to serve God only. Esther, a wise queen, thought not of herself or herplans, but endangered her life by helping the Jews escape from unfair death. Loving and gentle Ruth broke the barrier between nationalities and proved that all men were created perfect and equal. A Not many people would stop to think about the wonderful ideas and qualities of these men and Women. This assembly was very enlightening and everyone gained by it. In fact, it was so well done that Mr. Nelson made extra time at the Mothers' Club and invited us to share it with the mothers who also enjoyed and benefited by it. The Ninth Grade thanks Julie DeVoe, Pamela Hill, Linda Ertz, Adele Wilken, Dorothy Ledbetter, Cheryl Fickett, Jay Oren, Mary Ellen Whitmore and Lloyd Paul for representing our class so well. Box Social By CHERYL FICKETI' The most successful Box Social was held on March 18. It was agreed that this year the boxes would not be as elaborate as the years before. The boys surprised everyone by bidding without hesitation! Our thanks go to all the girls and, of course, their mothers who cooked the delicious food. Everyone enjoyed the clever decorations made by the eighth grade girls in Mrs. Richard's art class. The theme for this dance was the Flintstones All the boys, as well as the girls, and not to forget the teachers, went home happy and well fed! I 0 Le the Francais By LINDA DOWNEY The French Tea took place Thursday, June first. The mighty ninth looked forward all year to the day when they could celebrate our achievements in French over a plate of tasty French pastries. You can be sure that our mouths were always full while we listened to French records, played games, and had other surprises. Mrs. Fisher showed us colored slides of France. The fun was shared by one and all. Sixth Grade Invitational By PAM HILL The sixth grade was invited to the May 12th fortnightly. They proved to be very competent dancers and entered into all the fun and games. Their exhibition dance, appropriately named Slop was as fun and as new as its name. lt went off without a single hitch. In all, the Sixth Grade Invitational was a blast. Mothers' Club Learns 'fWhat Makes the Soviet Union Tick By JULIE ANN DEVOE The ninth grade participated in the first Mothers' Club Meet- ing. They presented a program on What Makes the Soviet Union Tick? The ninth graders included: Don Ledbetter, Mari- lynn Scott, Ann Savage, Mary Ellen Whitmore, Jay Oren, Sandy Gossland, Cheryl Fickett, Deloris Cardozo, David Shoop, Bruce Carde, Lloyd Paul, Clark Spaulding, Phyllis Halleman, Joy Rich, Sharon Nance, Lynne Stimson, Pamela Sharman, and Linda Downey. The- information for this program was found in The Christian Science Monitor. They told us of the Russian indus- tries, farm plans, schooling, culture, religious beliefs, propaganda, and the challenges which they present to our country today. Be- cause of this study, each ninth grader is aware of his responsi- bilities in today's world. Ditch Day By JANE LARSON Celebrating Ditch Day April 28, 1961, the day after our Fashion Show was a joyful, relaxing experience. We were taken to Disneyland by Mrs. Fickett, Mrs. Ledbetter, Mrs. Ertz and Mr. Halleman. We went on rides such as the Astro-Jets, the Autopia, and Tom Sawyer's Island. To our dis- appointment the Matterhorn Bobsleds were closed for repairs, but nothing could have stopped us from having fun. The most fun was when a group of kind-hearted girls bought Mrs. O'Con- nor a package of delicious trick gum, which was very hot and tasted like soap. The unsuspecting teacher popped a huge piece into her mouth and started chewing with gusto!! It just took her about live seconds to realize that she'd better spit it out or else explode because it was so hot. Anyway, Mrs. O'Connor took it like a real sport. At 1:45 we headed home with hats, candy, and no money. This was an ideal Ditch Day and We hope the Class of 1962 will have as much fun!! Girls' Athletics By CAROL OSHERENKO Our final year at Berkeley Hall has been an exciting one in sports. Under Mrs. Jeffries' and Miss Letts' patient guidance We have learned good sportsmanship and many skills. We have had tournaments in volleyball, basketball, speedball, and base- ball. The Whites won three out of five tournaments in basket- ball and volleyball. Linda Downey, as captain of the Blues, 'eagerly and enthusi- astically cheered them to victory in speedball. The Whites, standing faithfully with Dorothy Ledbetter, have won many counting games. Miss Letts lovingly taught each ninth grade girl junior Life- Saving and at graduation each one will receive a certificate. Our greatest accomplishment was learning how to play to- gether joyously and harmoniously. The Parents' Fortnightly By SHARON NANCE Fun was shared by the parents and students alike at the Parents' Fortnightly held on Friday, April 21. The highlight of the evening was an exhibition of the Continental Walk performed by Pam Hill, Dave Shoop, Deloris Cardozo, Lloyd Paul, Julie DeVoe, Ron Ballard, Linda Downey and Bruce Carde. After the first time they invited their surprised mothers or fathers to do it with them. The parents did remarkably well. There was a Number Dance and a Corner Dance as well as a noisy Lemon Dance. Of course the 9th graders and their parents won. All in all, everyone had a wonderful time. What Berkeley Hall Means to Me By MARY MONTGOMERY My experience at Berkeley Hall from Junior Nursery through the Ninth Grade has been -enriching in so many ways that I feel it has laid a strong foundation for everything I will do from now on. Having Christian Science at school, as well as at home and at church, helps make us stronger students. Berkeley Hall is a school where everyone is seen as God's perfect, intelligent child. For instance, the classes are not divided into different levels of ability-the A minds in one, the B's in another, etc. The students work together helping and supporting those who seem to need it. The teachers.are most generous and spend their free time aiding a pupil to understand something. Christian Science is practiced at Berkeley Hall and the students are en- couraged to use it and to demonstrate it in everyday life. At Berkeley Hall when someone has a problem, we deny the error and see him as the image and likeness of God. Every morning one of the pupils reads an article from a Christian Science periodical or a section of the lesson and a hymn is sung. This is always helpful. For example, one morning I arrived at school wishing I had never come, but after carefully listening to the article read and the questions answered, I felt fine. I also saw how grateful I should be for all these assemblies. In sixth grade, I remember, we had teams and asked questions on the lesson. Everyone really worked at it, and we all had fun. Besides that, it started the day on the right track. The teachers at Berkeley Hall are so loving and understanding, but they demand our best work. Although each one is very different in her ideas of teaching, they are all wonderful teachers, and this variety enriches our lives. Berkeley Hall means striving for perfection, not only in grades, but in our spiritual understanding of God and man. We know that our intelligence comes from God and try to prove it in everything we do. We learn to use Christian Science at all times, whether We are in art, gym, history, algebra, or sewing. We also learn to become better citizens. An example of good citizenship, which is always practiced by the students, is in the spring when the big grass oval is being reseeded. No fence has to be put around it. Only a word is said to the pupils, and no one walks on the grass. ' At Berkeley Hall we have the privilege of starting school as young as a three year old in junior Nursery and going all the way through Ninth Grade. Berkeley Hall is a beautiful school with a lovely campus and a warm and friendly feeling about it. The most important thing, however. is that we set an example for those around us by living Christian Science. I have gained an increasing understanding that man is gov- erned by God and therefore always reflects the divine Mind. Berkeley Hall has truly been a wonderful school and I shall never forget it nor stop being grateful for my experience here. What Berkeley Hall Means to Me By LINDA ERTZ More than anything else, Berkeley Hall means to me love and understanding which is expressed by one and all. It is with this love and undersfanding that we are able to prove day after day that our true being as God's child is intelligent and free from error of any kind. Another outstanding point of Berkeley Hall is that there's so much harmony and unity. live gone here all my life, and I only wish that it went all the way through college. When you just stop and think of all the advantages we've had, you realize that we're very fortunate. Much consideration and support has been given us and we're all really grateful. Every single teacher stands out, for each has different qualities which doesn't make learning such a dull task. All around us thereis a feeling of really belonging because we're all working together to improve ourselves. Ever since the nursery we have been taught to use Christian Science. This is what makes Berkeley Hall such a terrific school. Also the fact that all of us are regarded as individuals all having one Mind is put into use. At Berkeley Hall we don't just learn certain subjects because they are required, but there's a purpose for learning each one A Chain of Love Divine By ANN SAVAGE Through the classrooms of Berkeley Hall our endless search for truth Has taken us so far and fast, we hardly stopped to think How much Berkeley Hall's united us in our youth- As a chain would bind us with a strong and sturdy link. Many years have passed now since some of us began Understanding love and patience were there to mark the way On the path of knowledge. As we our future scan, We remember teachers who didn't let us stray in the past. Before us lies the trail of life. For those who are prepared The heights to which we climb are joyous and fully unconfined. We may reach the high plateau and never be despaired. One thing remains forever: That in love we are entwined. Dear Berkeley Hall, you've given me a chain of love divine, An armor or protection that will be forever mine. of them. For instance, we study algebra to learn how to think things out and to apply what we have previously learned. We study history so that we won't make the same mistakes others have made. We have games so we can learn to get along with other people by being good sports and co-operating. It develops character and helps us discipline ourselves. Another of the many things I appreciate is the daily morning assemblies. They are so inspiring and the only way to start each day. To me Berkeley Hall is quite a challenge because people know we are Christian Scientists and therefore naturally expect more from us. It's inspirational because there's no limit to our capabilities and qualities. We are all one big family striving for two goals: one to be better students of Christian Science and the other to Drove that Progress is the law of God. Berkeley Hall is a good combination of high scholastic stand- ards and the teaching of many social graces. It is like a circle of love with no beginning nor end. We are enclosed in this wonderful circle. The Final Address By JAY OREN Almost a score ago our teachers brought forth into this class- room-finals-conceivecl in studying and dedicated to the fact that if you finish early you can go to lunch. We were tested to see if our class or any other class so con- ceived and so dedicated to their homework could endure this torture. The brave students who struggled in this testing room have honored it far above all other previous classes. The world will little note, nor long remember what other classes did here, but it can never forget what the Class of '61 has done. From these noble workers the school takes increased devotion to the cause for which we gave the full allegiance, that we the Class of '61 highly resolved that we have not studied in vain and that the government of the teacher, by the teacher, for the teacher will sometime perish from this sanctuary.

Th Marvelous Mikado which is given each year by the grad- uating class reached new heights of artistic achievement. Cen- ter is Marilynn Scott playing Katisha, a difficult comedy role, for which she received a thunderous ovation. Far right are Magnificent ' By BONNIE BLEICHMAN In November the ninth grade class gave the play, The Mikado. The parts were played by: Yum-Yum, Deloris Cardozo, Peep- Bo, Pam Sharman, Pitti-Sing, Linda Ertz, Mikado, Jim Whit- more, Ko Ko, Clark Spaulding, Nanki-Poo, jay Oren, Pooh-Bah, Don Ledbetter, Pish-Tush, Bruce Cardeg Katisha, Marilynn Scott. There was also a girls' chorus and a boys' chorus. Mrs. Purtle directed two songs and Mrs. Dlouhy, with her usual loving care and patience, directed our skit. Mrs. Cardozo, very thoughtfully, volunteered the props and the whole play was indeed spectacular, if not very professional. The opinion of the ninth grade is that even though it was diflicult at times to learn the parts, it is something that gave our class a great deal of satisfaction and the end result was very Obvious . . . A magnificent Mikado!! Boys' Athletics BY RON BALLARD The boys' athletics program started off with flag football. The Whites under Captain Don Ledbetter and Steve Arthur took the Flag season. The tackle season was also captured by the Whites in a close season. The captains alternated in that season. In the final ball game the Blues rallied and scored four touchdowns. Captains of the teams were Clark Spaulding of the Whites and Dave Shoop and Ron Ballard, captains of the blue flag team along with Jon Jarvis. At the beginning of the new year we started out with basketball. Not many games that counted were played but the blues managed to capture the ones that counted. Ron Ballard was captain of the Blues and Dave Shoop of the Whites. Next the boys confiscated the back field again and through a black and blue season the Whites managed to keep games in their favor. Captains again were Dave Shoop, Blues and Ron Ballard, Whites. In baseball the games were very close. Captains were Don Ledbetter, Blues and Jim Whitmore. I think appreciation should be paid to both of the coaches, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Glazer. three great actresses that brought Hollywood to its feet. De- loris Cardozo as Yum-Yum was yummy. Linda Ertz as Pitti-Sing and Pamela Sharman as Peep-Bo were strong supporting sis- ters in the Marvelous Mikado. W ant Ads By ADELE WILKEN, SANDY GOSSLAND, PAM SHARMAN 1.

Susie stopped, stamped her foot, and said, Go back! Go back! The dog waited then started again. Susie was really mad this time. Go back! It's bad enough that I have to have God with me all the time, so, I don't want you! Class Song SUNG TO THE TUNE OF HEY, LOOK ME OVER Hey, look us over, lend us an ear, We are the class that graduates this year. We are the best class, of that we're aware. For whenever you get right down to it, what others can compare? And we will all be remembered by teachers here For our good work throughout all these years. We're the fiftieth class to leave this school We've put on quite a show, and we're very sad to go. No other class in school had had such a need for boys Even with such a loss, we made up for it in noise. With all the twenty girls, you'll find it hard to believe With two, four, six, eight boys we balanced accounts with ease. History outlines, square roots and all In our French weive had quite a ball. And at English rules we pass every test. ln literature we did rack our brains to think of epithets. As boys in their drafting class have drawn plans by the score, We girls in sewing find ripping a chore. Weire so grateful for all Berkeley Hall has done- Even the work has been fun. Hey, look out world, Here we come. Guided Missile-Toes By MARILYNN SCOTT Santa swings as Fabian sings. The academic 1960 rocked out as the new year rolled in at the annual Christmas formal. All the girls were smashing hits in their dazzling formals. The boys, decked out in their best, were perfect partners for Berkeley Hall beauties. The girls, according to tradition, received a beautiful gardenia corsage upon entering the fabulous array of Berkeley Hall splendor. Tasty sandwiches, bite size, and a beautiful Christmas cake, along with a Christmas punch were served as refreshments. The dance music, instead of records, came from a band hired for the occasion. Everyone enjoyed the delightful decorations made by Mrs. Richards eighth grade art class. This wonderful evening was concluded by customary singing of Christmas Carols by the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Lastly the parents and chaperones joined the group to sing Blest Christmas Morn by'Mary Baker Eddy. Ninth Grade Tea By LYNNE ST1MsoN The beautiful Bel-Air home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Horton was the setting for the ninth grade tea given by the Past Officers of the Berkeley Hall Mothers' Club on Saturday, the Thirteenth of May. The guests, the mothers of the junior High pupils and all the girls were ushered down the long receiving line of our twenty ninth grade girls. The girls made a picture of loveliness in their pastel formals and bouquets. The guests wandered around the natural looking pool and gay gardens overlooking the city. Everyone had a wonderful time. Ronald Ballard and'Carol Osherenko were the Readers for the Thanksgiving service. Mrs. Mavis Purtle played the music and the hymns. Mrs. Pam Brookins sang the solo. Annual Thanksgiving Meeting-Set By DELORIS CARDOZO The Annual Thanksgiving service was conducted with dignity by members of the ninth grade. The readers were Carol Oshe- tenko and Ron Ballard. Each ninth grade boy served as an usher. Many parents and friends of the school appreciated the simplic- ity of the service. Following the Thanksgiving lesson, Mrs. Brookins sang a solo. Appropriate testimonies and words' of gratitude from the members of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade classes helped to make our program a success. We wish to give special credit to Mrs. O'Connor for the time she spent helping the readers perfect their parts.

FASHION SHOW TIME By MARY MONTGOMERY and JOY RICH This year the ninth grade gave a gay, stylish, dashing, colorful, and terrific fashion show for the Mothers' Club on Thursday, April 27. We had 68 changes, more than any other fashion show at Berkeley Hall. The first twenty dresses made by the girls at school were shown as a college wardrobe. The eighth grade girls sat on the stage chatting about the colleges they would attend. Each girl came out in a dress to represent one of the colleges. For the first time, several of the girls made dresses for their younger sisters as well as themselves. These girls were Janie Larson and Laurie, Pamela Sharman and Patti, Linda Ertz and Debbie. The fourth pair was Mary Montgomery with Christine, Mrs. Richard's granddaughter. These darling little girls simply stole the show. The beach scene was another important part of the show. Gay capris, shorts, culottes, and saucy beach dresses were mod- eled under a real beach setting. The last thirty dresses passed by quickly as they appeared in groups. At the finale each girl walked down from the stage and lovingly presented a carnation to her mother with a kiss. We had a lovely tea afterwards. Mrs. Dlouhy lovingly made little verses about each girl and Mrs. Montgomery described the clothes. Many thanks to the back stage hands who helped dress and put on make-up. Special thanks to Mrs. Richards who kept us quiet, looked over, and pushed us out with great joy and satisfaction. Every Ninth grader is grateful to Mrs. Richards and Mrs. Montgomery for teaching us the art of sewing, how to blend colors, and how to stand on our own two feet. On the beach-bright, gold, zany beach dresses and play clothes modelled by their authors.
