WALTER ROBERSON EUGENE NETTLES WORK, WORK, WORK Derek Davis and Pam McGee The neat appearance of our beautiful Berkeley Hall campus can be attributed to the hard work of Memphis, Walter, and Gene. They work hard but all the while each still has time to say Hi and greet the student with a friendly smile. United we stand, divided we fall, can certainly be applied to this work crew because with their organization and unity they have given our grounds a fine appearance. Berkeley Hall owes a salute to these earnest fellows. Regardless of how small or how large a job is, our invalu- able handy man, Mr. Greene, can always fix it, Mr. Greene's little shop onthe back field is a busy place. He'll repair anything from desks and broken equipment to windows and heaters. Everyone at Berkeley Hall ap- preciates all the help he has given him. The 9th Grade with all other grades of Berkeley Hall wishes to thank Mrs. Thomas and her helpers for their variety of delicious foods. We would be amiss if we didn't tell them of our appreciation for their courteous services. or is ml. 2 L. BlRDlE DOLLIE MR.

THE B.H.S. ALL STARS Sandy Smith Two forty in the afternoon marks the meeting time of the B.H.S. All-Stars. As one watches these fantastic athletes run eargerly l?J from their classes to the locker rooms, he realizes that these players are really the Ninth, Eighth, and Seventh Grade girls of Berkeley Hall, Inside the locker-rooms the All-Stars change into their famous uniforms and rush out to the field. Since all professionals must keep in tip-top shape, everyone unwillingly submits to ten ghostly minutes of exercises and two laps around the field. All of the activities are headed by Coach Letts and Coach Cooling, The two divisions of the All-Stars, the Blues and the Whites, are commanded by the captains Pam McGee and Bunnie Swan. The athletic season was opened with basketball. ln this game the players endeavor to get this round obiect through some obstruction hanging up there in the sky. lDo you believe it? Some actually make itll Next came speedball, o game in which the players kick their opponents up and down the field. Occasionally someone hits the ball, by mistake of course. After the teams finally recovered from their black and blue marks, they advanced into volleyball. This game is much safer and the All-Stars have fewer casualties. Softball is a great game. One outstanding characteristic of it is the home run . This is obtained by hitting the ball into the pitcher's mitt. lt, immediately, pops out of her hand. She picks it up and continues by throwing the ball to the first baseman, who proceeds to drop the ball. The batter rushes to the second and third bases followed by the ball. Now it goes through the second baseman's feet and down into center field. Then everyone tenses up as the batter and the ball both race for home plate. lf the runner has any breath left, she manages to crawl to the diamond as the ball soars over her head, over everyones head, over the building and into orbit setting the United States ahead in the space race. Finally the remaining All-Stars put on their swim suits and go swimming. Playing water polo is a favorite. The obiect is really to bounce the ball lust in the right place so that it will completely drench the people who weren't supposed to be swimming. lt was inevitably discovered that there really was no point in not swimming since all ended up soaked anyway. Well who knows? Maybe one of us may turn out to be a real athlete. But even if you don't think so, you must agree that the B.H,S. All-Stars are one of kind. BOY'S ATHLETICS Derek Davis and Mike Waldman The most enioyable period of the day is games period, that is, besides lunch. Mr. McGee heads the Physical Education Department assisted by Mr. Hoerner, ln autumn, football was won by the Whites with Captain Bruce Larson although the Blues behind Captain Richard Asher gave them a rough time. The Blues won basketball behind their Captain Torrey Wulff. Gary Hansen, Captain of the Whites, states this hap- pened only because it was the Blues turn to win. In base- ball the Whites are expected to win according to Captain Chris Hocker. This is disputed by Derek Davis, Captain of the Blues. An addition was made to make the boys' as well as the girls' athletic program seem more interesting. This addition was a track and swimming meet arranged with Cloirbourn, another school for Christian Scientists located in Pasadena. The track meet was run at Clairbourn and to our delight we won many ribbons. The swimming meet took place here at Berkeley Hall. What competition the Blues and Whites fought to win baskete ball, football, and baseball. The reward for the winning team is to have the captain's and team's name put on the plaque. The Sportsmanship awards will be presented on Class Day. 26 The Whites The Blues
