l MEET THE NIN TH Chris: Funny iokes Chris is always cracking Although obvious meanings They're often lacking. He's frequently thought of as a ladies' man, But we've yet to find a genuine fan. Mike: Mike is the wisecracker of our class And in French he's not so fast. He's smooth and enioys opening the door And he's equally slick in crawling on the floor. Tricia: Tricia is noted for her winning smiles But grasping algebra takes awhile. At talking Tricia is hard to beat, And a more proficient giggler you'll never meet. Gary: Gary the Dane is lot's of fun, But taking a look at a girl he's on the run. At the school dances he's terribly shy, But out onthe track he's exceptionally spry, Sandy: Sandy's vocabulary we all know Consists of boys, ski, and snow. In algebra she does excel, And in Aspen she'd love to dwell. Derek: Derek with his long, blonde hair Has a humor that is quite rare. On being a pro surfer he is bent, And in all things he is confident. Linda: If Linda is missing don't despair For she will be found brushing her hair. As for tripping Linda has the knack lf there were a contest she'd win the plaque.

CLASS HISTORY The newest movie in the theatre is The Greatest Class. We will attempt to give you an accurate account of it. Act I, Scene I starts In Junior Nursery, where Bruce Larson, Sandy Smith, Bunnie Swan, and Sue Heller were taught by Miss Giles and Mrs. Owen in such educational things as making clay idols and painting such famous pictures that they have earned a name of their own - pop art. Act I, In Scene II no new members were added to the Senior Nursery, but our knowledge was increased greatly in the arts of riding tricycles and sing- ing familiar songs to the accompaniment of Mrs. Owen's autoharp and Mrs. Swan's gifted conducting. Act I, In Scene III, or Kindergarten, Mike and Tricia Waldman entered the class with Mrs. Scallan as the leader. We were introduced to such advanced phenomena as merry-go-rounds, slides, iungle gyms, and building blocks. Our intellects were challenged by picture slides. Leg muscles were tested in hotly contested tricycle races. For relaxation there were rides around the school grounds in our own Thunderbird Convertible, swims in our private pool, and daily naps. In Act II, Scene I Our industrious minds led us to the first year of the primary where we were greeted by Mrs. Swanson and Dick and Jane. We were introduced to addition and substraction. Outdoor exploration led us to the gigantic back field and the tree house. At this time Chris joined the growing class. We began taking our meals at one of Beverly Hills' leading restaurants, the cafeteria. In Act II, Scene II, or Second Grade, Sue left us for adventures in foreign schools. Pam became a welcome member of our group. Mrs. lwert shared multiplication tables with us. We gained a sense of democracy through class presidential elections. In the Last Scene of Act II as exalted kings of the primary, Richard Asher and Torrey Wulff were added to our numbers. They were iust in time for such glorious experiences os homework and the selection of our lunches. These usually consisted of five desserts and a sandwich, the latter rarely finished. Mrs, Upton tried to keep us from tripping over long division. In social studies we learned about the American Indian. Our Sailor Skit went unnoticed by Hollywood. In Act III, Scene I We entered the big campus. In the Fourth Grade we were greeted with open arms by Mrs. Hill. Many of us, unfortunately found our names all over her blackboard for late or incomplete assignments. She taught us the arts of penmanship and erasing. Some of our better privi- leges were the writing of monthly reports and contests in reading. Mrs. Richards taught us how to make Hallowe'en masks. Derek Davis and Linda Hinman ioined in the fun. For Play Day we put on Cinderella. Hollywood couldn't have cared less. Act Ill, Scene Il began in Fifth Grade when Gary Hansen and Mrs. McGee entered our lives. We enjoyed such fantastic things as English, even more homework, and Play Day. In music we developed into a roomful of Arthur Godfreys, each of us strumming away at his ukulele. Under Mr. Richards we learned Natural Science, wood working, and how to make paper dolls out of our science tests. Act III, Scene Ill was very exciting when we entered the tree house belonging to Mrs. Henry where Val West ioined us. We contributed two of our boys to the Berkeley Hall Flag Detail. Fractions fractured us. Dancing lessons were enioyed universally. We attended our first Fortnightly, the Sixth Grade Invitational. We also completed our first really big proiect, the country notebook. The Last Act began in Seventh Grade where Mrs. Evans took us in hand. Keen competition. pitted the Blues against the Whites and each games period became a little World Series. Mrs. Dlouhy made literature an enioyable experience. We now attended the Fortnightlies fortnightly. With the coming of Act IV, Scene II, Mrs. Hall was waiting for us in Eighth Grade. We memorized English rules and more English rules and more English rules! On the happier side there were parties almost every month. The Constitution notebook taught us much about United States government. For Ditch Day we went to a very original site called Roxbury Park. Sue came back this year to join the fun. The last scene of this exciting drama led us to Ninth Grade. We now enioyed the distinction of Kings of the Campus. We were introduced to algebra little sheets of paper, surprise tests, and witty sayings by Mrs. O'Connor. The girls got their first look at a sewirtg machine under the direction of Mrs Richards. Meanwhile, in shop, Mr. McGee was busy giving the boys instruction in drafting and howto run an elevator. Some of the special attractions were Class Day, the Fashion Show, the Mikado, the Shield Dance, the Girls Tea, the Boys' Debate, and the Thanks- giving service. In May we went a.w.o.l. to Disneyland. Somehow we managed to publish the Annual. We are now ready for whatever challenges and adventures await us in high school and college. But we will never forget our happy years of growth and progress at Berkeley Hall. 2I r
