yy.. .. it ,,,,.. X W-,fe fi. J. T. . - Was it Mr. Cheatham who said, All I have to otter is blood, toil, tears, and sweat? No, I Think it was Mr. Churchill. Although These are not Mr. Cheatham's words they exemplify what he has given to our school This year. Some ot his animated and exciting ideas are: lil gym uniforms for the boys, along with new and better equip- ment, l2l a science class, l3l o cooking course, and l4l Two new buses, eliminating many transportation prob- lems. Mr, Cheatham, in spite ot the many problems he has faced, and still has to face, always finds time to say hello and give a pupil a Trienclly pat on the shoulder. HBLQOD, TOIL, TEA Rsff A great Task was taken over, but he has shown us his ability as a principal and as a friend. He has shown boundless energy in his ettorts to enlarge and strengthen! the Berkeley Hall Foundation. He gives every problem his deepest concern and endeavors to work all ot them out smoothly. The students have gained from Their rela- tionship with him in the past year. This alone helps To work out their problems. What Mr. Cheatham has done for us is remarkable. We can all show our appreciation by following his loving example. 4l. A l

WELCOME TG A HELPFUL ADDITION Pam McGee 81 Patricia Waldman The newcomer in the Gym Department this year is Mrs. Cooling, a native of California. Mrs Cooling was born in Long Beach and attended Principia High School. She spent two years at Long Beach City College and two more years at the University of Southern California where she majored in telecommunication. Mrs. Cooling has participated in several sports for many years such as water ballet, tennis, field hockey, ice skating, and skiing. While in high school, she was captain of the women's varsity basketball team. For several years Mrs. Cooling donated her time to charity organizations and girls' clubs where she did work with charm and modeling. When she was only four years old, Mrs. Cooling started modeling. She was dis- covered while taking a dancing lesson and continued modeling through- out her school years. While enrolled in U.S.C., she was a member of the Pi Beta Phi Sorority, and she participated for a year in a radio program on the U.S.C. campus. l Mrs. Cooling's family includes her husband and three children. Mr. Cooling is an architect whose hobbies are skiing and sailing. One child is in Seventh Grade, another in Kindergarten, and the third in Nursery. A NEW WORKER Bonnie Swan, Gary Hansen Mrs. Crow is a longtime friend of Berkeley Hall, but a new face in the office. She helps out wherever she is needed and ends up doing a little bit of everything. Next year, Mrs. Crow will be the new secretary of the Mothers' Club. Some of her duties will include setting up the meeting, suggesting new ideas, and delegating duties. Although her smiling face is relatively new to us, her six children are famil- iar to most of us. Ken and Dale graduated from Berkeley Hall and are in Principia. But you will find the younger ones here, Todd, Senior Nursery, Allan, Fifth Grade, Laurie, Sixth Grade, and Gary, Eighth Grade. Mrs. Crow is an experienced secretary, for she worked at U.C.L.A. in the Extension Department and is Principia Mothers' Club Secretary for Los An- geles area. She is much appreciated in the office and is looking forward to increased activitiy next year. THE MISSING LINKE Richard Asher and Bonnie Swan It is clear that what's been missing at Berkeley Hall is a Linke. However, after a massive search, the Second Grade found one of these rare specimens. When she was four years old, she and her three brothers had a family act. At first they did shows mainly for the U.S.O. Her two younger brothers at the ages of five and seven were billed as The World's Youngest Hand Balancers . When Mrs. Linke was twelve and her brother fiften, they turned professional and did a circus act. They had a perch act where she did tricks on top of a thirty foot pole. She also did a ballet adagio on a pedestal. The four talented children toured fairs, circuses, and rodeos. They were trained by MGM stuntmen. Mrs. Linke graduated from UCLA and majored in Education. She taught Sixth Grade at Cowan Avenue School in Westchester for one and a half years. To complete the chain there are three little Linkes, two of whom are in Berke- ley Hall. One is one and a half, one is in Nursery School, and the other is in First Grade. We are all most grateful and pleased for the talented addition of Mrs. Linke to Berkeley Hall.
