Q gfifiZ ' | ' HKR:s ' s a s °l emn ity in doing the simplest thing for the last time, and soon we shall be assembled together to exchange greetings with one another, and to bid farewell to our much beloved Berkeley High School. We have been striving for months to accomplish the allotted work of our courses, and when it is finished, it is with reluctance that we shall meet here for the last time. While we have been endeavoring to improve our minds and store them with knowl- edge, we have grown to love those who have worked with us as fellow class-mates, those who, as teachers, have guided us on in our efforts, and even the old building has become endeared to us. However, we are soon to sever all these connections, and fate may have decreed that the members of this class will take different paths in life. Some of us will continue our studies in higher institutions of learning : others will go out into the world to earn a livelihood, while some will devote themselves to home duties. But whatever we do, the attachments we have formed during our Berkeley High- School life together will be able to stand the test of time, and it would be well to remember what Byron said : Here ' s a sigh for those who love me, And a smile for those that hate, And whatever skies above me, Here ' s a heart for any fate. We are indebted in a thousand ways to our faithful and loved principal and teachers, who have earnestly guided us onward and upward in our work, and endeared themselves to us bv their manj acts of kindness and consideration. Their justice has always been tempered with kindness, and their smiles of approval have always been full}- appreciated. We sincerely hope that they will pardon the many times we have incurred their dis- pleasure, or caused them pain, as our heads were at fault, and not our hearts. Thanks to the human heart by which we live, Thanks to its tenderness, its joys and fears, To me the meanest flower that blooms can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears. ailan p. flftattbew, ' 08, JE6itor=insCbief 1b.

WATERMAN WHO HAS EVER BEEN A KIND AND FAITHFUL COUNSELOR IN OUR ENTERPRISES WHETHER SUCCESSES OR FAILURES THIS ANNUAL IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED $ytoanu$ D. Waterman. R. WATERMAN was born in Kennebec County, Maine, in September, 1842. He passed the early years of his life in the country, and, when he reached a suitable age, he studied in an academy, fitting himself for a college course. After finishing his preparatory work, he entered Bowdoin College, and was graduated in 1861 at the age of eighteen. About this time the Civil War broke out in the land, so we find Mr. Waterman a volunteer in the Federal army. His station was in North Carolina and Virginia, and he served under Burnside in the 3rd Massachusetts Regiment. When the war was finished, he betook himself to Louisville, and there was principal of the High School for three years. The next move was to Greencastle, Indiana, where, for three more years, he served as Superintendent of Schools. In 1870 he was married and came to California, and, making Stockton his home, he was connected with the schools there for twenty years. Eighteen years of this time were passed in the High School, during eight years of which he was a teacher, and the remaining ten principal. Here, in 188 2, he received the Republican nomina- tion for State Superintendent of Schools, but was defeated. Since 1890, he has been with us in Berkeley, so that his last eight years are familiar to us all. MORRIS C. JAMES was born on the tenth of November, 1867, in Morgansfield, Kentucky. After preparing himself at home, he went to college for two years in Vanderbilt University at Nashville. Leaving college, we next find him a bank clerk in Morgansfield. He then completed his college course with three years ' work at the John Hopkins Uni- versity, taking the Bachelor ' s degree and doing some graduate work. We next meet him in California teaching Latin and Greek in the San Bernardino High School. After two years of it there, he joined us at Berkeley, and is one of our most popular and efficient teachers. He is also vice-principal of the school. t$ MISS FANNY W. McLEAN, teacher of English, is a native of San Francisco. She graduated from the Oakland High School in 1881 and from the Uni- versity of California in 1885, receiving from the latter institution the degree of Bachelor of Letters. After teaching for a year in a school near Los An- geles, she secured, in 1886, the position of teacher of English in the Berkeley High School. With the exception of three years spent in work at the Col- lege Settlement in New York, Miss McLean has been constantly with us. MISS ANNIE C. EDMONDS, Ph. B., a graduate of the University of California, became a teacher in Berkeley High School eleven years ago, when the school was yet in its infancy. She has until lately been instructor in all the Sciences, Mathematics and German of the High School ; she is at present teacher of Algebra and Geometry. An instructor more com- petent in the subject could not be procured. She is thorough, correct and original in handling her sub- jects, and successful in imparting her knowledge to others. ALVA W. STAMPER, teacher of Mathematics, was born in San Joaquin County, California, in 1871. He attended the public school near his home and also the High School at Stockton, where Mr. Waterman, our beloved principal, was at that time principal. After graduating, he applied for and received the principalship of the Grammar School at Farm- ington. He taught here for two years, and in 1891 he entered the University of California. In 1895 he graduated from the University with the degree of B. S. In the autumn of the same year he accepted the position of teacher of Mathe- matics in the Berkeley High School, which position he has held ever Since. MISS EVA V. CARLIN, teacher of Junior His- tory, was added to the faculty at the beginning of last school year. She has been prominently connected with educa- tional affairs in Berkeley for the past fifteen years, being associated in the Harmon Seminary with those widely-known pioneer educators, Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Harmon. After their death Miss Carlin transferred to the Berkeley Gymnasium, one of the University schools for boys, remaining there until its close, two years ago. MR. D. R. WOOD was born in the State of New- York. The history of his life to his fifteenth year remains in obscurity. His youth was spent in a typ- ical eastern school. After having gone through the Normal School at Fredonia, he taught school in Perrysburg and Cherry Creek. In 1890 he went to Cornell College, obtain- ing his B. S. in three years by attending summer school in continuous session. He had charge of the Science departments at Santa Anna and then at Stockton, until 1896, when he arrived at Berkeley, and has since been enlight- ening the students of Science in the Berkeley High School. 13 PROFESSOR E. B. LAMARE was born in Dun- kirk, in the north of France; he spent his younger days in Paris and was educated at the Haffreingue College, Boulogne-sur-mer. For two years he served as the French correspondent in a shipping-house in England. During the Franco-Prussian War he served in the French army. In California he has taught in Mr. George Bates ' School for Boys, Miss West ' s School for Girls, the German School Union in San Francisco, Miss Field ' s Seminary, and the Golden Gate Academy in Oakland. In 1894 he was appointed teacher of French in the Berkeley High School, where he has since remained.  j£ MISS MARY L. BREHM, a native of Chicago, came to California when quite young. She received her Grammar School education in Oakland at the Prescott Grammar, and in San Francisco, where her parents settled on coming from the East. Later they moved to Berkeley. She is a graduate of the Berkeley High School, Art Department of the University of California at Berkeley, and the California School of Design in San Francisco (later the Mark Hopkins Art School of the University of California). As the head of the Art Department of the Berke- ley High School, she is respected for her knowledge of the subject she so well handles, and loved by her pupils, and esteemed by all who know her. b5 MR. KARL HENRICH was born December 9, 1851, at Lang-Gons, Hesse-Darmstadt, and gradu- ated from the Normal School at Friedberg, Germany, in the year 1870. Since that time he has been an instructor of Music and German. Although Mr. Henrich has been with us but one year, we feel that we owe him a debt of gratitude for the timely as- sistance which he has lent us. 14 MISS MARY B. CLAYES, the efficient teacher of Latin and Greek in the Berkeley High School, is a native daughter of the Golden West. She was educated in the public schools of San Francisco, first at the Denman Grammar, then at the Girls ' High School. She took a classical diploma from the Lowell High School, and in 1892 graduated from the classical course of the University of California, taking an A.B. degree. In 1894 she received the degree of M. A., her thesis being a comparative study of Virgil and Theocritus. She began teaching in the Berkeley High School in 1893. MISS FLORENCE BARTLING, one of our best instructors, was born June 3, 1860, at San Francisco. We feel as though Miss Bartling were an old friend, as she was graduated in 1879 from the Oakland High School, our neighbor. After her career in the High School, Miss Bartling entered the University of California, and was graduated in 1883. She has taught in High Schools for ten years and in the Berkeley High School for three years, during which time she has endeared herself to her pupils by her justice and kindness toward them. Miss Bartling ' s work in English and History is always very interesting and profitable. (We regret exceedingly that it has not been possible for us to obtain photographs of Miss Bartling and Miss Clayes for reproduction.) emtmecence. jECfae! ?ot t ain mg eager goutfl ' e career, 3 pureueb witf} fonging to 6e great! t$t euntearb patfj-teag Bg ite western gate 3 eoug t to cfimB, But founb it bteappear. $t crgetaf fountain gftttereb et?er near, (?U 3 teae faring ' neat a Burning 6% @Ub parcfjeb xoitty thirst, 0o coufb 3 (ksttate HEitfl goutflfuf (Me to brinft t(Je watere cfear ? £o, tftxt affuring spring teae But a ffkttng goob, ;§bret er un xit xiYicc, t0o ' sought tettfl purpofie ig0 !

And yet they shall my heart control — Our tempered joys are sweet — And truth impressed upon the soul Will make this day complete. I live again the years we ' ve spent From care and sorrow free, Are these to tell, I ask intent, Of what our lives will be? Today within the book of life We start a page most fair, And all the actions in life ' s strife Will soon be entered there. And as a prophet now I see Through many a coming year, And faces which appear to me Are those to memory dear. Some few by laurel wreaths are crowned, To most, success came slow ; But in the distant years ' tis found Each reaps what youth did sow. We cannot win in after days But what our youth has earned; Upon the stage of life, each plays The part he early learned. And so, dear classmates, I have told, In words sincere and true, That which the future will unfold So soon to me and you. But now we part. It is life ' s way. Farewell to all most dear! Yet memory will recall this day, For friends we ' ll drop a tear. E. ' 98. 16 (Awarded First Prize in the Prize-Story Contest.) JL OT ! hot ! hot ! and only eight o ' clock. For two weary hours we had been climbing slowly up the south side of old Mount Wilson, while the sun was putting forth every effort to convert us into reeking, broiling, sizzling specimens of the genus homo. The only sound was an occasional whew! from one of the party, or the dull thud of a walking stick across the back of little Raymond. Six o ' clock that morning had found us, Mr. Danton, Mr. Craig and myself, busily engaged in tying the few remaining pans and cups to the ropes of the pack. Perhaps it never occurred to you how much a bony little two - by - four burro is expected to carry. If there is room enough at one end for him to see, and enough at the other to offer direct communication with a stout walking stick, he will pa- tiently pick his way all day over seemingly impassable trails. Our load was not a light one: a half dozen blankets, two comforts, flour, bacon, a few potatoes, etc., for a three weeks ' hunt, three heavy rifles and a shot- gun, together with a prospector ' s outfit. Poor Raymond watched us intently, and, I suspect, wondered how much more we expected him to carry up that long, steep and dusty trail. The neck and ever prominent ears were about all that could be seen when we formed the line of march and commenced the ascent from the valley of orange and lemon groves to the summit of Mt. Wilson, seven thousand feet above the sea, and covered with immense old pines and firs. There is originality among burros as well as among men. Raymond had a few decided characteristics of his own. His musical qualities were unparalleled. He seemed to recognize the acoustic properties of the mountains, and would choose just those canyons which would respond most eagerly and retain longest and most lovingly among their rocky sides the deep resonant bass. Nor was he illiberal with his music. Every echo seemed to him an encore. Again and again we stopped our ears with our fingers, or his with our fists, as a gentle reminder that, while we appreciated highly his efforts to entertain, we would be grateful for a moment or two to converse among ourselves. Mr. Danton was a man about forty years of age, medium height and rather slender. He had spent many years roughing it as a prospector and hunter, was lithe as a cat and absolutely fearless. Craig and I were old friends of Danton and had had some little experience in the mountains; so the year before this we had planned our trip. Our destination was the headwaters of the San Gabriel, some twenty-five miles back into the mountains, and a region almost inaccessible to man. This country abounded not only in game, but also in that precious yellow metal which drew so many thousands to the Pacific slopes a half century ago. Of game a 17 person could find any kind and any quantity. Bear, deer, mountain lion — in fact almost every species of large game usually found in such a region. Fast, but not least, were the grey mountain squirrels, quail and trout. Such were the happy hunting grounds towards which we were slowly toiling. The first mile from the foot of the trail was covered in a very short time, and we were congratulating ourselves on being able to reach the pines before it became so hot when Raymond, after due consideration of all sides of the question, decided ' ' not to do that day what could be put off until the next winter, when it would be too late, and took a gait that would make the average messenger boy hide his head for shame. As I was ahead with the shotgun, on the lookout for a squirrel or quail for dinner, the honors of burro driver were shared by Danton and Craig All their arguments, pleadings, threatening expressions and gentle (?) reminders with the walking stick failed to increase his speed in the least. It soon became evident that at that rate we would be baked alive before we could reach the welcome shade of the pines two thousand five hundred feet above us. Well could we think hot as we wound in and out of those canyons. Now in the deep cleft of the mountain-side where not a breath of air was stirring, then out on the ragged face of a hog-back ' ' where the sun seemed to beat even more intensely than in the canyon. How we longed for the cool, refreshing shade and the tumbling waters of the half-way place, five weary miles from the foot of the trail. Far, far beneath us we could see the glimmer of a stream as it bounded over the rocks and beneath the overhanging ferns, appearing like a gleaming silver ribbon woven in and out among the rocks and trees so far below. There was but one in the party who did not seem to take any special interest in the beautiful panorama of nature spread out below us, and that was Raymond. He seemed to be rather undecided whether to keep on at his present gait or stop altogether; but a vigorous application of the walking stick aided him wonderfully in his decision. Just at high noon the welcome sight of the running water and shade of the half-way place burst upon us, and in a few minutes we were busily engaged in removing the pack from the dripping, panting burro. An appetizing dinner of bacon, coffee and crackers was soon prepared, and it is needless to say that, after our forenoon ' s toil, we did ample justice to it. The next hour we spent in solid comfort, stretched upon our blankets and gazing at the blue-topped mountain above us. The afternoon climb was not as tiresome as that of the morning, as a greater part of it was in the shade of the pines and firs. Dusk found us at Strain ' s Camp, a half mile beyond the summit of the mountain. After a hearty supper we spread our blankets down, and, with the heavens for a roof, turned in for a good night ' s rest. Next morning we were up and had our breakfast of bacon and coffee by the time the first tints of the coming daylight streaked the eastern sky. Without waiting to wash our few tin dishes we again packed our outfit upon the burro and bade good-bye to Strain ' s Camp. The trip down the north side of Mt. Wilson was not long, but exceedingly rough, the fall of the trail being something over five thousand feet in two and a half miles. At the foot of the mountain ran the West Fork, one of the branches 18 of the San Gabriel river. We reached the canyon by the middle of the forenoon without mishap, and took a half-hour ' s rest in the cool shade. The rest of the day until nearly dark was spent in winding along between its rocky walls, sometimes forcing a path through tangled masses of chaparral and manzanita, or picking our way across the stream on the boulders; again creeping along the mountain-side, where there had been a semblance of a trail, or making a wide circuit around a dangerous fall. The sides of the canyon rose almost perpendicularly for two or three thousand feet. The sun passed below the moun- tain-top at a little past three o ' clock, and by five it was getting dusk. Then we looked about for a secure camping place — one in which we would be safe from intrusion by any of the denisons of that region. Soon we came to a level, open space, well sheltered from the strong current of air that always circulates in these canyons, some ten feet above the rippling stream; and, as it was so near night, we concluded to camp there. After removing the pack from the burro and tying him to a clump of bushes a short distance from camp, Danton and I began to collect logs and brush for our camp-fire during the night, while Craig prepared a bag of quail I had shot during the day. In our search for fuel we explored a steep and narrow side canyon which was literally matted with buckthorn and manzanita, except a well worn trail down the water way, which had evidently been kept open by the continual passing of animals. The brush closed over our heads and the passage became so narrow that we had to stoop painfully in order to make any advance. Traces of the presence of game became abundant, and the odor of the thicket was like that of a menagerie. Our curiosity led us farther than we intended, so we resumed our search for dry fuel nearer the camp. When our task was finished we sat down to enjoy a hearty supper around a cheerful fire. We had hardly commenced when Danton stopped abruptly in the middle of a sentence, fixed his eyes upon some object in the darkness and slowly reached behind him for a rifle. Following the direction of his gaze, I saw two balls of fire gleaming in the darkness about a hundred feet from us, but which disappeared before he could get the rifle to his shoulder. Lions, said Danton; and before morning we had good cause to think lions. In a few minutes the fiery orbs reappeared in another place, and almost at the same instant two more pairs gleamed out of the darkness at different points. Well, said Danton, it looks as if there is going to be a reception here to- night, and, unless we bring Raymond in close to the fire, he will have to play host alone. With that he arose from his supper, and, picking up his rifle, started off in quest of the burro. The next minute we heard an exclamation of surprise, and then the voice of Danton calling from the darkness that Raymond was gone, rope and all. Here was a predicament — a totally unknown region, a lion ' s den, and no burro! Knowing a lion ' s failing for burro meat, we realized that poor Raymond was gone for good unless we could find him in a very short time. We sat down around the fire for a few moments to discuss the situation and to decide whether the burro was worth the risk involved in a search through those dark canyons, infested with such treacherous creatures as mountain lions. But we had another motive in our delay, for the eastern sky was bright with the light of a full moon, and in a few minutes its rays would penetrate the darkness of the canyon. 19 t As the moon came into view over the tops of the mountains, I suddenly saw- outlined against the bright sky the form of a huge lion, sitting upon a rocky point on the mountain-side. From the point where the lion sat upon his haunches there was a precipitous descent of sixty feet, and then the steep slope of debris and shale to the edge of the stream bed — a distance of a hundred yards — thickly covered with tangled thicket. My friend, said Danton, as he picked up his rifle and stepped back out of the firelight, I guess you have eaten your last supper of burro meat, for you made a big mistake when you came out onto that rock. With that he threw the rifle to his face and pulled the trigger. There was a loud report, a flash of fire, and we saw the lion leap into the air and fall back, apparently upon the rock. Another one of those ugly varmints to my account, said he quietly; it gives me more real pleasure to plunk one of them than it does to kill a half dozen bear, for the}- are the meanest, most treacherous critters that were ever put on earth. If that carcass stays there all night something will tear the hide to pieces, and I want it ; so I guess I w-ill just skip up there and bring Mr. Lion down. You fellows can go on up the canyon looking for Raymond, and I will be down again in fifteen minutes and overtake you. With that he left in spite of our protests against his doing such a foolhardy thing. Replenishing the fire we took our guns and commenced a short search for the burro. We had gone about a quarter of a mile or so when three shots, fired in quick succession, told us that Danton was interestingly engaged. We immedi- ately turned back and ran as fast as we could down the canyon. As we reached the vicinity of the camp, sounds of a fierce struggle burst upon our ears. A flash of light and a sharp report, followed by a brutish scream of rage, revealed to us the nature of the conflict that was taking place upon the summit of the rock. What was to be done? How could we reach him in time? Ah! the narrow canyon and the passage through the brush ! Its opening was just before us, and I now saw that it must lead out upon the hillside near the summit of the rock. To think was to act; and, clutching Craig by the arm, I shouted Follow 7 me ! and dashed into the black mouth of the canyon. Up we clambered, falling over rocks and logs, but never faltering for one instant, even when the closely matted briers tore our hands and faces or forced us to our knees. Now the way became clear, and we sprang panting out upon the hillside. At the same instant I heard a cry of warning, a shot behind me, and the heavy body of a lion struck me with terrific force and knocked me to the ground. I expected to feel its teeth and claws sink into my flesh, but they did not, and I sprang to my feet to find it in the throes of death. No time to tarry, or even to be thankful; we dashed toward the cliff. Danton was gone, but on the ground were tw 7 o great tawny bodies, and, scattered about, were several pieces of clothing, while near the edge of the rock was Danton ' s heavy knife. I peered over the edge. I turned sick at the sight which met my eyes. There at the bottom lay Danton, still and white, while on a ledge a few feet above him crouched a lion. To one side and on the ground was another, his great head low between his paws and his whole body quivering as he prepared to spring. I took in the situation at a glance. The lion on the ledge was directly between Danton and myself. I dared not fire at it. The only thing to do was to shoot the other one, and even that seemed to be a fruitless effort, for 20 at best I could stop but one of the fierce animals which menaced the life of our companion. Even as I looked there was a tawny streak through the moonlight. I shut my teeth in despair and fired blindly. The report of Craig ' s rifle rang out with mine — the body fell heavily across Danton ' s chest, sprang convulsively into the air again, and dropped; our shots had been true. But while the reports of our weapons still rang in our ears, the second lion, somewhat disconcerted by the appearance of a new foe, sprang down beside Danton ' s body and stood defiantly over it. We were helpless ! Not one chance in a thousand to shoot without killing Danton if indeed he were yet alive. Then- -a blast as of the last trumpet shook the very mountain-side — redoubled its volume by its echo from the confining canyon walls — seemed to shatter the very air with its deafening intonations. Out of the thicket close under the rock emerged the head and shoulders of our beloved Raymond, his slender neck outstretched, his nostrils distended, his mouth open, and out of it pouring tumultuous torrents of sounds that were sweeter to our ears than any symphony. The startled lion, with one terrified leap, disappeared into the brush. In a moment we reached the bottom and found Danton alive but quite unconscious. Glad? I could have done the Highland Fling on one foot. I threw my arms around Raymond ' s neck and cried for joy, and he seemed almost to know what he had done, and proceeded to extract a couple of cartridges from my belt by way of refreshment. With great difficulty we carried Danton to camp and made him as comfortable as possible for the remainder of the night. A careful examination showed that he had suffered several painful, though not fatal, injuries. It was ten days before he was able to get about again, but he recovered sufficiently to enjoy several successful hunts before our three weeks had passed. Raymond, dissatisfied with a comfortable place in which to pass the night, and with the juicy grass which surrounded him, had, in some mysterious way best known to himself, loosened his rope and worked his way up, up through the brush to the foot of the rock. There his rope became entangled in the manzanita, and he found himself a captive in unpleasant surroundings. We returned from our trip carrying three skins, which now stretch their tawny lengths on our respective parlor floors. And often, as I sit in the evening gazing in reverie into the coals of the grate before which the great rug lies, I go over the fearful hazard at which it came into my possession.

The relief from the toil and anxiety connected with our High School journal is indeed j welcome, but we must say that we have derived much pleasure in the performance of our duties on the Editorial Board of Olla Podrida. Every member of the staff has wrought conscientiously in the interests of the paper, and, through it, of the student body; and if it be the judgment of our readers that our efforts have been crowned with any measure of success, the editors will feel amply rewarded for the work they have put upon it. We scarcely need to say that, but for the loyalty and painstaking energy of our Business Managers, the success which has come to the Olla Podrida during the past year would not have been possible. To them especially, and to all who have contrib- uted in any way to the interests of the paper, we make grateful acknowledgments. We have spared neither time nor money to make the ' 98 number a success, and we present to you for your inspection our hundred-page issue, hoping that it will merit your approval. We beg the reader not to be too critical, but to consider the limited means at our command. We have endeavored to make this issue the best possible in all particulars, both representative of the best literary and artistic talent of the school, and of all the organizations connected with our institution ; and we hope that our efforts may meet with the commendation of all members and friends of the High School. We are under great obligations to Miss McLean for her kindness and assistance at all times during the year, and but for her sympathy and encouragement at critical periods, the results attained would have been far less satisfactory. She generously acted as judge of the Prize Story Contest, and the story which was selected as the best was that of Mr. Percy Warner, which is printed elsewhere. We wish to return thanks especially to those who submitted stories in the contest, and to all who have otherwise lent aid in the production of this final issue. Among those who have been of special service to us, we wish to mention the Wilcox Photo Co., who took most of the photographs for reproduction in this number. We are well pleased with the treatment they accorded us. 35 President ' s Address. Friends : — History, in every age, has established the fact that the youths who have developed muscle, who have learned endurance, who have been taught absti- nence, became the men whose skill, strength and courage have fought the world ' s battles, and won its victories. When the Spartan mother buckled the armor on her son, her parting words were, Never return without your sword ! Spain inured her youths in the fiercest gladiatorial combats. Our Revolution- arv fathers gained strength and endurance in their struggle for existence on the Wild Xew England Shores. As the representative of what has been called the Athletic Class of the B. H. S., I would speak a word for the Campus and its events. The farmer boy grows strong in the harvest field, the laborer in wielding pick and axe ; but for the student of the city school and college, there is little chance for development of strength and endurance, save in the Athletic games and sports. The physical structure, made in the image of its maker, must not develop brain at the expense of muscle to reach perfection. In many of these contests has the class of ' 98 excelled, and victories been won, aided by the sympathy and cheers of our fairer and better halves, the girls. It is wise in the time of peace to prepare for war. The general plans the attack, the strength and courage of the soldiers win the battle. Should we be called to take up arms in our country ' s defense, our dashes, our hurdles and our relays have not been in vain. That the prowess of the class of ' 98 has in no wise detracted from its high mental development, the list of our one hundred and two graduates, and the literary ' program they present to you to-night, must convince you. For the first time in the. history of the B. H. S., our principal will be gradu- ated with us if he does not get cinched. A test of our power to endure is seen in the graceful manner we have accepted the Kellogg building, its draughts and its furnaces. It is our consolation that Washington, Webster and Lincoln were never graduated from a sixty-thousand dollar school-house ; and some of us who have carved the desks and thrown balls upon the Kellogg walls may become as illustrious. The history of the past has proved that fine school buildings and modern con- veniences are not necessary to the highest mental development. Fresh paint, immaculate walls and lofty ceilings are not always conducive to the best brain-work. ' Tis the spirit of the teachers and the pupils gone before ; the air that breathes of study and discipline ; the tread of the floor worn by footsteps in other days ; the thought to carve our names on the desks by the side of the names now known and honored in the land that awaken a desire for knowledge and stimulate ambition. Thus we have been contented with our lot, yet we hope for the new school house for classes yet to come. In the physical, mental and moral structure that each is building, may the class of ' 9S realize that Our to-days and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build ; Truly shape and fashion these, Leave no yawning gaps between ; .Make the house, where gods mav dwell, Beautiful, entire and clean.

A nurse ' s training made Leta Dorn able To take full charge of a large hospital. Miss Laura Sleeper is a bachelor maid; She ' s waiting for a French Count, it is said. These constitute the class you ' ve asked about, Long may their praises to the skies ring out. May all remember, through life ' s tangled ways, The High School Class, emblem of youthful days. Elsie Nutting, ' 98. 40 I come before you in no boasting mood. My respect for the truth is unbounded, and although my statements about ' 98 may seem extravagant, I assure you that they but faintly express the glory of my subject. ' 98 is in all respects the most remarkable class that was ever graduated from the Berkeley High School ' s classic halls. The School Trustees recognize this, and fearing that all future classes will be eclipsed when compared with ' 98, have wisely decided that no other class shall ever be allowed to sit on the stage and receive their diplomas. Our entrance into the school was the occasion of anxious fears on the part of the Trustees. So numerous were we, that the school building would not hold us all. Finally the Trustees hired all the halls in town to accommodate us until a suitable place for our presence could be furnished. It is to us that the B. H. S. owes the addition of the imposing structures upon the east and west side of the building — the French and English recitation rooms. Our entrance also called for some response from nature. So the elements combined to celebrate the advent of such an unusual class, in some original way. What did they do ? Why, they covered the hills with the finest snow storm ever seen in California; and we had a holiday generously granted us, and invited the town upon the hills to enjoj it. We have always been a model class, and our first class meetings were an example of good behavior and propriety. Who will ever forget those well con- ducted meetings? How we put the Seniors and Middlers to shame and forced them to acknowledge our superiority. We were not heard much of during our middle year, for we rather hid our light under a bushel, so that ' 97 might have an opportunity to let people know that they were in existence. But what we did do made a lasting impression. We sold tickets for the entertainments of ' 97, which would have been complete finan- cial failures if it had not been for our timely aid. We also contributed to the glory of the B. H. S. by having a large number of baseball, football and track heroes. 41 ' 97 was an important year because of the graduation of that class to make room for ' 98. The inhabitants of Berkeley were so interested in ' 98, and so rejoiced that such a worthy class were to fill the position of dignified seniors, that they forgot to mourn the loss of ' 97. Our moral effect upon the community has been immense. We have always frowned on rushing, and our influence upon the U. C. has been so great that they have abolished rushing in that institution. In the community at large our influence also is largely felt. It was found by the students that the Post-office was inconveniently far away from the building, so the town kindly moved it. Some of the young ladies of our class objected to the disreputable appearance of the station, and nothing would do but the Trustees must make a park, and have newly paved roads to harmonize with it. Among our deeds which shed lustre on the name of ' 98 and cause rejoicing to the coming generation, is the clearing up of the wreckage left by ' 97, by being re-accredited in English to college. Under our care the Olla Podrida (always an honor to the school) has become the magnificent journal it now is — the pride of friends and despair of rivals. The Ecclesia, Forum, and Orchestra have sustained their reputation under our supervision. Always an energetic and enterprising class, we have brought a new wonder into existence — the far-famed Mandolin and Guitar Club. The financial standing of ' 97 was very precarious, but we, having learned wisdom from their misfortune, have seen to the material things, and are thinking seriously of building a new High School with the surplus. Onr social successes have been remarkable, our Senior socials being the society events of the year, and our entertainments the pride of the town. A number of our girls banded together, formed a musical club, and gave one of the most delightful musicales ever known in the annals of Berkeley. And the bovs — who could ever forgive us for a non-mention of such celeb- rities as Hamlin. Spencer and Brock? Was there ever a time in the athletic exercises that the familiar figures of this trio could be dispensed with ? Echo answers Never! Our boys also deserve many encomiums for the successful management of their minstrels and vaudeville. We are truly sorry that we had to declare war with Spain, but as their insults became unbearable, we could put it off no longer: but to make amends as far as possible to the brave heroes who risk their lives for us, we have established a Sanitary Commission, which will take care of the wounded. Our graduation has been a source of such great grief to our principal that rather than graduate another class, he has decided to resign and accept the posi- tion of Superintendent of Schools for the county. ' Tis said, and with truth, that ' ' we have more need of models than critics, and the beloved head of the B. H. S. has ever been a model worthy the emulation of even,- student. In closing our career together we are to be congratulated, for we have the consciousness that we take with us the element which has made the class of ' 98 one of perfect success. Enid Bird, Historian. 42 « fiistory of the €la$s of ' w. « jpN a beautiful day in August, nearly two years ago, there gathered in the Berkeley High 53 School building a large band of eager young students, who called themselves the Class of ' 99. Proud and happy did they all feel; for were they not just entering upon their higher education, and did they not have three years before them in which to make a name for themselves — a name that should go down to their successors, crowned with honor — a name so great as to enable each member of the class to say with pride, I was a member of the Class of ' 99 ? Ninety-nine does not stay right along by the same old opinions that have been handed down for generations. We are up to the times, and one of the new movements to which we strongly adhere is that of equal rights for both sexes. We were the first who ever elected as class-president a girl. This we did for the first half of our Middle year; and it is needless to say that our president fulfilled her office as well and successfully as ever boy did. Then, too, this same characteristic was shown in the way in which we came to the front in the matter of giving the Junior girls a reception. As the Seniors did not seem inclined to make the first advances, we promptly took the affair in hand, and the Seniors fell in behind us. And so we feel that for energy and originality, we have certainly carried off the palm. At the Inter-class Field-day the mighty Seniors came onto the field with the expecta- tion of crushing into dust the insignificant little force of Middlers and Juniors arrayed against them. But thanks to the efforts of our gallant captain, we compelled them to leave the field of combat with, only an even score of 63 to 63 to talk of. We are also the first class that has ever finished its Mathematics at the end of the Middle year, this having always before been carried through the first term of the Senior year. This being so, we may be able to enter upon higher fields than have ever yet been reached in High School work. Therefore, leaving behind us such a record for our first two years, having shown our- selves so great in intellectual, social, and athletic pursuits, we are now about to enter upon our last year in our dear old school. May it be a happy and prosperous one ! May we not rest on our laurels, but rather increase our zeal in all directions, that we may add more and more honor to our name ! And when in June, 1899, we finally leave forever the Berkeley High School, we hope — nay, we feel already assured — that it will be with such a past behind us, that all will sigh, together with the immortal Shakespere (may his ghost forgive me if I quote his words amiss) : Here was a class indeed ! When comes there such another ? Catherine Peake. 43 « fiistory of tbc Class of woo. J s u fc U p to the year 49,998, all that the inhabitants of this world knew of antiquity was that a savage race had inhabited the world before them. They did not know but what this race was the first in the world until the year I have mentioned, when an important find was made. While excavating in the western part of the world, there was found, below the relics of barbarism, a single indication of a higher civilization. The discovery is the remains of what was once a stately edifice. It is supposed to have been a public building, built at a great expense, and used for educational purposes. In one room of this was tound relics of an art museum, and in another those of a vast library. One of the books in the library is a translation from our language (the Latin, which they seem to have known of) to theirs. The only other one which our scientists have finished working on is one entitled Memoirs of the Class of 1900 of the Berkeley High School. Looking at the table of contents of this, we see that it was divided into three parts, but only the part pertaining to the first year of the class ' s career is left. The first things in this book are the Constitution and By-Laws of the Class. The laws are so admirable that it has been said that we may adopt them for our own use, while the genius and originality displayed in them lead us to think that their composers were the leading statesmen of their time. Only the initials C. W., E. B. and E. K. are left to show us who they were. Following the By-Laws are the minutes of numerous meetings of the Class. These show by the frequency of the meetings that much business was transacted, and by the large attendance that this business was both important and interesting. In one place in them we find the statement — The high standing of our Class is represented in the person of our president, Mr. Hawley. After the minutes was a page devoted to athletics, but it is so blurred and decayed that only the names Riggs and Voltz can be deciphered. Next comes a chapter containing advertisements taken from a paper called the Oi,i,a Podrida. The paper appears, because of its large circulation, to have been a ruling power in the community. Some of the advertisements are: — Hair for plastering, weaving or mattresses. Apply G. S. and B. P. Co., Berkeley; Patronize Home Trade and Use Duff ' s Revised Latin Grammar; F or all information relating to foot-ball apply to Wm. Meese; Lessons in Oratory, see L. Dobbins, special attention paid to Debating; For instruction in hand-ball apply to J. Lester. The table of contents indicates that after the Extracts would be found a list of all the members that perished in the Spanish-American War, but only a blank page was found. Perhaps the historian, on deliberation, thought it a hopeless task. Suddenly I am called to myself by a crash. I have been dreaming over Euclid, and, as I awake, my book drops, and I am reminded that I must finish my lessons, and perform my duties as Class Historian. d. t. s., ' 00. 44 tbeta Rbo. v! he Theta Rho was organized in September by eight ' 98 girls. The purpose of the Club was to help keep an interest in good music in the High School. J 5j Weekly meetings have been held during the year, and usually the works of some one composer have been studied at each meeting. In order to let the school know what was being done, a musicale, which was a success in every way, was given last February. The proceeds were divided with the Senior Class. The Club proved that all its talent was not confined to music by the very enjoyable reception it gave in April. The officers for the year have been: Laura E. Cohn President Ethel L. Preble . . . . Vice-President Eva L. BramleT . . . Secretary and Treasurer .- n. z . - j j j g gj g ; to the Graduating glass. So many of you are setting your faces toward college, that I venture to ask you to consider for a moment what this going to college may mean aside from the continuing of the usual studies. You recall that the motto of the University of California is : Let there be light. It seems, then, that right at our door is the opportunity to ' ' get yourselves enlightened, as our teacher of logic used to say. Is that not what we mean by cultivated, — penetrated with the real light of intelligence, and in contact with the best things ? Practically, then, how is a well-meaning person of still tender age to set about getting himself genuinely enlightened ? We may reasonably assume that college-life offers the field. Book-learning is an important part, of course, but equally of course there are types of character, ways of looking at things, interests, new even to the high-school graduate. Upon his attitude toward work and surroundings the effect of the contact depends. Why not, at the outset, look one ' s self over in a clear-headed fashion, and with un- prejudiced eye ? One ' s best self may thus be brought to light, and one step is taken toward making it prevail. Many people, even before they grow to be very old, discover that letting things slip along is fatal, and besides, that to keep up with the spirit of this age a body has to use his intelligence in all affairs he handles. So this fairly common experience declares in favor of taking a critical view of one ' s own case, and then of taking the case firmly in hand. The next matter to attend to is to look into this great opportunity offered in four years at college, and try to find what liberalizing and inspiring influences a given individual may come in contact with. These will not be of equal value, to be sure, but which shall be chosen ? If freshmen wisdom is not sufficient to deal with so important a matter, there is the Faculty of the University, the embodiment of wisdom in affairs concerning the interests of students. On the other hand, the chances of those not going to college of getting themselves formed on a liberal plan are as bright as they could wish, because they, too, can take pains to understand themselves, to be open to ideas, and to aim at the best, from tea-parties to the presidency. Now, probably you have skipped all the sober talk, down to here, and are ready to accept my congratulations and hearty good-wishes on the occasion of this first public success. Florence Barteing. 45 HE boys of the Class of ' 96 organized a debating society which they called the Forum. A short time afterwards, the girls of the Berkeley High woke up to the fact that if they wished to stand on an equal footing with the boys or surpass them, they too must have a debating society. It was not long before the girls had organized a society, and called it the Ecclesia. A constitution was drawn up and the meetings carried on according to Roberts ' Rules of Order. A few weeks before school closed in ' 96, the Ecclesia challenged the Forum to a forensic contest, which was eagerly accepted by the boys. The debate showed the careful study which had been put upon it, and also what a wonderful advantage it is to be able to belong to a debating society. This time the Ecclesia carried off the laurels. The following term, the Ecclesia was not found lacking, and it looked forward again to a debate with the Forum. Three months before graduation was the time agreed upon. The subject for debate was: Resolved, That the United States Senators should be elected by direct vote of the people. The debaters were: Messrs. W. W. Downer, Allan Matthew and Herschel Macdonald of the Forum, and the Misses Davis, Hoyt and Friedenriche of the Ecclesia. This time the boys were victorious. In the fall term of ' 97, the Ecclesia was not reorganized for some unknown reason. At last, in the beginning of the second term, Mr. Waterman called a meeting of all the girls, lie gave us a good friendly lecture, and showed us that the reputation of the Ecclesia, and what it should accomplish, rested with the girls of the High School, and not with disinter- ested outsiders. We must take hold with a vim, and show some interest, if we wished to bring our High School on a par with others. It was then that the girls really appreciated how they had neglected this aid to their education, and a meet ing was called that very after- noon. Gertrude Burgess was elected I ' resident ; Annie McCleave, Vice-President ; Geneva Shaw, Secretary ; and Gwynnedd Carnall, Treasurer. Every other Monday was chosen for the day on which to hold their meetings. No debate was held this term between the two debating societies, owing to the debate with the Oakland High School, and the extra w T ork which always comes at the end of the term. The last election of officers resulted in the selection of the following, w T ho are to succeed those who have been so signally successful in organizing and promoting the Ecclesia: Pres- ident, Mary Boynton; Vice-President, Nina Farwell ; Secretary, Marie Kennedy; Treasurer, Jane Stewart. We hope that the Kcclesia will be carried on in the succeeding years of the Berkeley High School, and will never cease to be a credit to the school, and a respected rival of the boys ' debating society.

Finn, Sergeant-at-Arms. J- TFIE FORUM, the boys ' debating society, was established in the latter part of 1895. It has steadily been growing, until now it has for its membership forty-five out of the one hundred and sixty boys in the school. By the help of a Creden- tial Committee, only the desired class of boys may become members of the society. Through the year of 1896-97, when ' 97 reigned supreme as Seniors, it was not ' 97 that carried the society along, but their younger colleagues, the Class of ' 98. This is shown by the fact that every debating team that ever represented the Forum contained a majority of ' 98 men, and also by the fact that the elections, which occur every eight weeks, often resulted in the chairs being filled entirely by members of the Class of ' 98. In the early part of 1897, a team from the Forum met the Ecceesia, our sister society, and were victorious. A little later, we met the Oakland High School on the forensic battle- ground and were again victorious. The interest this year lagged somewhat, owing perhaps to the failure of the Ecceesia to accept our challenge for a debate. But early in the spring, we received a challenge from Oakland High School, which was ver} 7 impatient for an opportunity to redeem its defeat of the previous year. The challenge was immediately accepted, and on the evening of April eighth Oakland met and vanquished us. After the program had been completed, the mem- bers of .the Forum received their guests in the banquet room of Shattuck Hall, when toasts were made on the good feeling and friendly rivalry which exists between the two schools. It now remains with the Classes of ' 99 and ' 00 to keep the Forum up to its high stand- ard, and I venture to sa} ' that it is the wish of the Faculty, the Alumni, and the Class of ' 98, that they shall succeed.

Springer, Secretary 51 Alpha Sigma Sorority. 5 6 S OMii time during the year 1894, the first chapter of Alpha Sigma was founded in Oakland by a number of girls who claimed allegiance to the High School of that city. The benefits to be derived from the organization in the way of social and literary attainments as well as the formation of a closer bond of friendship, caused its rapid and successful growth. Wishing to have other schools beside their own share in the good results of this sorority, an inspection of the Berkeley High School girls was made, and as a result of this, in December of 1894, the Beta Chapter was founded with six charter members. These six were all members of the senior class, and by the time they graduated, a number of other fortunates had been initiated into the mysteries of Alpha Sigma. Although we have neither time nor space to enter into the details of the initiations which followed, never- theless we assure you that they are quite harmless to all outside the immediate Sorority circles, however harsh may be the treatment inflicted upon the candidates for initiation. The Beta Chapter now boasts of over thirty members in all, on each one of whom rests the responsibility of fostering sincere friendship to the best of her ability. This is one of Alpha Sigma ' s highest aims, but it is not the only one, for reading from good authors takes up no small part of our meetings, thus promoting literary taste in the proper direction. Besides the Alpha and Beta Chapters of Oakland and Berkeley, already mentioned, there are three others, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon, at the Girls ' High School, Lowell High School and Sacramento High School respectively. For the sake of forming as close a relationship as possible between the five Chapters, semi-annual conventions are held, at which all members of the organization assemble and enjoy themselves in a way character- istic of the purpose of the Order. Once an Alpha Sigma, alwa} ' s an Alpha Sigma; so the graduated members are entitled as much, if not more, to join in all the functions of the sorority as the under-graduate members. Of the thirty-three members who compose the Beta Chapter of Alpha Sigma, over one-half are alumnae, a great man}- of whom are attending the University of California. Absent members number three — Maud Keyes, now residing at Mt. Hol3-oke, Mass.; Edith Ketchum, attending Mills ' College ; and Eleanor Lloyd, residing at Los Angeles, Cal. Others who enjoy the benefits of the Order are as follows : Ruth Armstrong May Benteey Bernice Owsley Margaret Webb Eugenia Loy Harriet Hoppin ALUMNAE.

This success is due to the untiring efforts of the director, our beloved principal, Professor Waterman, and to the interest which the members manifest in it. All who belong willingly testify to the niany benefits derived from connection with this band, both for themselves individually and also for the High School, and they desire to express to Professor Waterman their hearty appreciation of the same. We hope that the Orchestra will again hold a very prominent position among the organizations of our High School in the coming year. May the places left vacant by the graduates of ' 98 be filled, and its numbers be increased and not decreased. The success of such an organization depends largely upon the indi- vidual efforts of each member. Therefore, let the new members as well as the old be steady and loyal to this organization, and its future success will be insured. FIRST VIOLIN. IIMss J6m 36ir0. IIMss Hmv jFlagg.

But we realize as well that we are a Class not to be outdone, and with this determination, eleven from our Class have been chosen to produce the play Esmeralda, a pleasing farce in four acts, based upon a story by Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett. The scene is laid both in North Carolina and in Paris. An ignorant farmer by the name of Rogers lived, together with his eccentric wife and daughter Esmeralda, on a farm in North Carolina. One day a mining speculator appears, who thinks that the farm contains a valuable vein of iron ore, and he bargains to buy the farm as cheapty as possible. Mrs. Rogers, in her usual high-handed way, sells the farm, much to the sorrow of the old man and Esmeralda. The Rogers ' now go to Paris, but are followed by Dave Hardy, a poor young farmer who loves Esmeralda, and is loved in return, but who has been refused the hand of Esmeralda for the reason that he is poor and not of noble enough birth to suit Mrs. Rogers. Mrs. Rogers is doing her best to marry Esmeralda to a Marquis whom she detests. Through the Desmonds, American artists in Paris, and their friend Esta- brook, Dave Hard}- hears that the rich ore lies on his farm and not on that of the Rogers. He is brought to meet the Rogers family at the Desmonds ' studio, where Esmeralda has come for a sitting, and an explanation and reconciliation takes place, much to the delight of all, except Mrs. Rogers, who does not like to have her plans thwarted and overthrown. Pathos and humor are intermingled throughout the play. The old man, brow-beaten and hen-pecked by his ambitious, wife, causes one to smile, and the merriment of the girls in the studio also gives a light and exceedingly pleasing touch. But through all this is the vein of pathos which is most evident in the climax of the third act, where Esmeralda completely succumbs to the intense strain which she has been under for the last few months. The picture of the reunited lovers, however, in the last act, sends the audience home with nothing but the happiest of feelings. 54 A Play in Four Acts. CHARACTERS.

This was the Mandolin and Guitar Club, of which we all are proud. On November 12, 1897, the Club had its first meeting, under the leadership of Mr. Waterman. Its progress has been exceedingly rapid considering the short existence, and the man) ' difficulties under which it has labored. We can say without hesitation that the members of the Club have taken more interest in their work than those of any other. In a very short time the number of members had increased to eighteen, and at the present time the list is still increasing, much to our satisfaction. At times Mr. Waterman could not attend, but their courage was not daunted, for they have met almost regularly since the beginning. Much care has been taken in regard to the selection of the music; all of their pieces have been pleasing to the ear, yet allowing the talent of the Club to be exerted to a great extent. When they learned that the) ' were to make their debut at a concert at Shattuck ' s Hall, all the Club were filled with enthusiasm. Every one will long remember the reputation that they gained that evening. Since then they have played at several entertainments, showing a marked improvement on the part of the players, and a greater appreciation on the part of the audience. The Mandolin and Guitar Club can boast of twenty musicians, of which the following is a list : MANDOLINS Miss Greta Augustine Miss Evelyn Kennedy Miss Enid Bird Miss Kitty Keys Mr. Walter Buckley Mr. Herbert Mackie Miss Ethel Chamberlain Miss Mae McCoy Mr. Harold Cummings Miss Laure Sleeper Miss Nina Farwell Mr. Joseph Wilson GUITARS Miss Stella Brown Mr. Leo Dungan Mr. Fred Berger Miss Grace Farwell Miss Laura Cohn Miss Elsie Hunt Miss Edna Potwin BANJO Miss Ava Earle Now that the Class of ' 98 is about to graduate, the Club will be diminished considerably, but we invite the remaining students to help fill the vacancies and if possible to add many more to their number. 56 FT is with a feeling of regret that we take up our pen to record the history of our Track • Team for the season of 1897-98, for we cannot help feeling that we should have accom- plished more than has been done. But when it is taken into consideration that our High School has such a small number to choose from, when compared with O. H. S. or L. H. S., we can congratulate ourselves upon the great achievements of our Alma Mater. Had it not been for the unjust suspension of one of our best athletes last fall, thus depriving us of sixteen points, another scalp would have been added to our belts, with a margin of five points to spare. But leaving these discussions aside, we will make a resume of our accomplishments on the oval during the past year. On October 9, 1897, we met and defeated the O. H. S. in the autumn meet; but our victory fairly won was unfairly snatched from us, as we have already made mention. Our Team was composed of: Ethan Scott, track captain, sprinter and high jumper; Henry Spencer and Tyrrell Hamlin, hurdlers; Brock, broad and high jumper and vaulter; Warnick, Riggs, Woods and Powell, distance men; Voltz, weight man; Wilson, mile walker; and Clark, the sixth relay man with Hamlin, Scott, Spencer, Warnick and Riggs. First places were taken by Hamlin, Spencer, Wilson, Brock and Riggs; seconds by Scott and Brock ; thirds by Woods, Voltz and Riggs, in their respective events. Passing from the autumn to the spring meet, we come face to face with the fact that we were defeated fairly. The Oakland High undoubtedly put the best Team on the field that has ever gone out from that school. But our boys deserve praise for their pluck and endur- ance in making the contest such a close one. The Team this spring was composed of Brock, (captain), Hamlin, Spencer, Riggs, Powell, Wilson, Berger, Dewing, Irwin, Voltz and Parker. This meet our men took only three first places. Many gold medals were lost in the closest kind of contests, and our second places were numerous. Wilson, Hamlin and Spencer were our only first-place men this year. Silver medals were taken by Brock, Irwin, Dewing, Berger, Powell and Riggs, and third places by Voltz, Irwin, Spencer and Riggs. Of those who partook in this last field-day, but three will be back next year, so that the team for next fall must be chosen from new men. In order to get even second in that meet, each boy in the school must try to accomplish something on the track or field. Already we have promise of a good athlete in Joe Hartley, and we are sure there are many more to follow. Thanking all those who have co-operated in the athletic interests of the school, we now close, hoping that B. H. S. will not be discouraged at the prospects for next year. Harry Johnson, ' 98. 63 ( om Baseball IN the list of victories and defeats which the passing seasons have brought to the Baseball teams of the Berkelej r High School, the triumphs of the team of ' 98 must stand forth pre-eminent. When the eighth semi-annual field-day closed, leaving Oakland High champions of the track and field, it was with a decision born of defeat that determined the B. H. S. to place a championship to its credit ere the close of 1898. The Baseball team alone remained to win this renown, and we have won it. Our first game, played against the University Dental College, ended in defeat for us by a score of 15 to 5 ; but we determined then and there to win back the laurels from them, which was done after two weeks ' hard practice, the score ending: B. H. S. 18, U. C. D. 17. During the season ' s work we defeated the Deaf and Dumb boys in twelve out of fifteen games. On the 5th of March, at Burlingame, we played a match game with Hoitt ' s. This game was an excellent exhibition of ball-playing, and although defeated by 6 to 3, the excellent ma- terial of which the B. H. S. team was composed was manifest to all who witnessed the game. Now came the preliminary games of the Academic Athletic League. First we met and defeated the California School of Mechanical Arts team of S. F. by a score of 16 to 3. Cali- fornia College Academy of Oakland defaulted, and thus we were qualified for the semi-finals. For the first time in the history of the B. H. S we gained an overwhelming victory over Oakland High. From start to finish our boys played like Trojans, and succeeded in lowering the blue by a score of 24 to 5. Lowell High of S. F. was the next to succumb to our superior skill; score, 13 to o. This was conceded to be the finest game ever played by the B. H. S. Next we defeated the Polytechnic High School of S. F. This was the last semi-final A. A. L. game; score, 16 to 5. Thus we def eated three San Francisco teams, and were sched- uled to play Hoitt ' s for the championship. We were confident of victory, yet expected it to be a hard-fought battle. We played at Recreation Park, S. F., May 7th. At the start Hoitt ' s went to the bat, but were retired in one-two-three order. We scored two in our half, and thus the score stood 2-0 until the fifth, when Hoitt ' s scored three. In the remaining four innings B. H. S. scored four more, while Hoitt ' s failed to cross the rubber, making a filial score of: B. H. S. 6, Hoitt ' s 3. Thus B. H. S. won the game and the championship of the A. A. L. for the season of 1898. The following was the line-up of our team during the year : Loring Barker, Sam. Dickson, Payson Riggs, Captain, Tyrrell Hamlin, Henry Spencer, Manager, George Steedman, Arthur McKeown, Wm. Meese, Joshua Brock, . Catcher Pitcher P ' irst Base Second Base Third Base Shortstop Left Field Centre Field Right Field Nutting, Caven, Baird, Substitutes Tyrrell L. Hamlin. T HE success of our foot-ball team during the season of 1897-1898 only proves what has been proved time and time again -that the Berkeley High School justly deserves the name of the most gritty school on the Coast. Moreover, we are justified in saying that our record as a team this season eclipses that of any other in the history of our school. In our first game we easily defeated the Central High School, the formidable foe of the O. H. S., by a score of 16 to o. Mid the jeering and joshing, hissing and shouting of a very large crowd of Stockton- ites, we played our second game. After a close, hotly contested struggle, the Stockton High School defeated us by a score of only 12 to 4, although it probably would have been tied, had not the umpire, a sympathetic Stockton man, thought quite so much of his home team, and had the boys thought a little more of their berths the previous evening on the splendid trip up the river. We were kept from adding to our record the two anticipated victories over the teams of the Polytechnic and Sacramento High Schools, who defaulted to us. We were now qualified for the finals in the A. A. L. contests, having won two out of the three scheduled games. We were here, however, must unfortunate in having to line up against a team hold- ing such an unblemished record and reputation as that of the Belmont School. This team had defeated the victorious Stanford Freshmen. What were we to do ? We were handicapped by the absence of three of our old war-horses, Mix, Spencer and Noack. The weather was cold and cheerless, and during the first half of the game on the U. C. campus, the rain fell in torrents. The field soon became a mire ; thus the usual snappy work of our team was forbidden, and it became only a question of weight which team should carry off the honors of the day. As we were out-weighed by our opponents by several pounds, we were defeated by a score of 12 to o. The work of our boys during this struggle deserves especial praise. The team which came expecting an easy victory had to work hard to effect the score, as it was, of 12 to o, and we were not in the least ashamed of defeat at the hands of so strong and reputed a team. This score was the closest of any of which the Belmonts boasted, and it was this team which won the championship this season. We were now graciously dropped from the finals in the A. A. IS. contests, but our record as a team was not yet complete. We in turn met and vanquished the S. F. Y. M. C. A. by 10 to 6, and the U. C. Miners by 10 to o. At this stage of the season we received a very polite challenge from the Oakland High School, but we were again disappointed in another victory — they shunned the word defeat and calmly withdrew the challenge. Perhaps Oakland thought that we would not accept, and in that way they would claim the victory. I wonder! We wanted nothing better. If we had played they might have contested, but — O, well. Thus closed the most successful foot-ball season in the history of the Berkeley High School. Out of eight games, we were victorious in six. Three cheers for the foot-ball team — Hip! Hip!

We stops off first to run t ' rough de Berkeley High, Mr. Paul ' s Gov. havin ' been t ' rough de war wit de gent wot runs de in- tellectual factory. De gent wots called a professor seemed some glad to see Mr. Paul, but dere wasn ' t no war reminissences. He sets us down in a room where de boys was settin ' on one side and de goils on de other, and dey didn ' t do not ' in ' but look at each other all de time. De gent sets down at a table surrounded wit goils and says, ' We ' ll hear from Miss Davis. ' De young loidy wots addressed opens her face considerable and commences to read, an ' say, wot tell, de goil couldn ' t read et all. De prof, would say somethin ' sassy to her in a forrin language and then would talk some in American. Mr. Paul said dey was transplautin ' Latin, but de process was painful to me. De gent wot was hearin ' de goils spiel suddenly pounded on de table wid his glass and says in dem dead frost} 7 tones, ' Mr. Springer, youse causes me more trouble den enny ot ' er guy in dis school, go out in de hall an ' talk some, until you get t ' rough. ' De bloke wot was addressed blushed some like de Duchesses new red dress an ' commenced readin ' a book a whole lot. Dis deal was too much fer me, so me and Mr. Paul pulls out an ' goes into a room where dey was settin ' around de tables on stools. De bloke wot runs dis place was markin ' on a black-board, which is green, an ' a young guy wot he calls Finn was a tellin ' him wot to do. Dere was one table wot was covered wit grips. De bloke wot doesn ' t carry a grip around a college is a janitor or a freshman. De tables wot de students sets at was covered wit glasses and wire. Dere was one table wot had on it a decanter dat had some liquid in it dat looked like de good t ' roat wash. Aldough me t ' roat was a burnin ' desert de guy did ' nt offer me none. De young swell-head wot was a teachin ' de professor got dat gent mixed up con- siderable. W ' en suddenly, wot tell, a bell burst out an ' scart me an ' Mr. Paul out ' n our reverie. Den dat whole convention jumps up, grabs dere grips, an ' witout sayin ' nothin, ' bolts de room, leavin ' de professor lookin red and relieved. Den wot tell; say, you ' d a died, de whole gang commenced trampin ' every way all over de barn wot is called a High School. Dey was wanderin ' about aimless as ants, every bloke in de other feller ' s way. De gent wot runs de Latin farm stood in de hall, now an ' den sayin ' , ' Goils stop yer talkin, ' ' boys move on, ' an ' other jollies. In about five minutes de building was quiet, an ' me an ' Mr. Paul, feelin ' like we ' d had a icy reception, pulls out to irrigate our t ' roats. An ' wot tell, dat town ain ' t no place fur a man wit a respectable thirst to live in, so me an ' Mr. Paul takes de furst train to Frisco so as to keep from pershin. h. cv. 75 nursery Rhymes.

Sing, 0 Goddess, the wrath of the famous teacher of classics, Which brought upon the long-haired Greeks translations numberless, And prepared their minds to be searched for the semblance of dark-lying knowledge. Prom the time when the cloud-gath ' ring, Zeus-nourished, azure-eyed, far-darting Sharlie 5. Stopped using a pony in Greek, and bestrode the healthier cycle. And upon the fair-haired sons of the Greeks fell gloomy despair: — Upon the swift-footed Dewing, for whom no pony was needed; Upon Matthew, of muscular frame, to whom was a pony most friendly ; Upon the far-darting Cummings, possessing fleet ' Rabian horses; 10. Upon Rucklidge, the crest-waving hero, the joy of all goodly Achseans; Upon Esterley, breathing out might, a native of sacred Pomona; Upon Mackie, of many devices, who slew a passage of Virgil; Upon Peterson, good at the war-cry, taught in the school of Perham; Upon the white-armed Barker, but he was much smaller than Rucklidge. 15. Deep in the hearts of all sank the words of the wide-ruling teacher. And none the less grieved at heart were the women, commanded by Sharlie, Who roused the destructive wrath of the famous teacher of classics. So they planned a campaign of revenge, for the wrath toward them and the heroes. Amazons called they themselves, and prepared to bring on mighty battle. 20. They would command in the war, and storm the Castle of Sheepskins. So they called a council of war, of the mighty neighboring nations, Who assembled their myriad hosts, at the call of the clear-voiced heralds. Tell me, 0 Goddess, the names of the heroes who came forth to battle. For I were not able to hold them at all in my memory willing, 25. Unless thou helpedst me, Goddess, to strengthen my small cerebellum; E ' en though my lungs were of brass, and my voice of wondrous power. With thy aid, therefore, 0 Goddess, will I sing the names of the heroes. Those who lived in West Berkeley, the far-famed city of grape-wines, Had for their leader the mighty and well-greaved Digamma Farwell, 30. Who came to the council of Greeks on a pony of marvellous beauty. She gained her skill in battle at the famous High School of Berkeley, Where she was the first to butcher a Solid Geometry lesson. And with her followed in order a fleet of forty black vessels. Leading the hosts of South Berkeley, to battle came bold Edda Ryder; 35. The oxide, favored Miss Ryder, skilled in theatrical study, But expert in the use of the beau, being taught by immortal Dungano. Along with this one to battle in line came eighty green vessels. And those who held sway over Hay wards, and Niles, the rocky and chalky; And those who lived at Sunol, a village near Creek Alameda; 40. Followed man-killing Miss Nutting, the one who carried six studies. • And she possessed many devices for the sending of notes to her neighbor. Along with this strong-minded female, in line came fifty red vessels. Next, to the armament Grecian, in curved sea-traversing vessels, Leading those from Lower East Berkeley, came the thunderer Adelaide Parsons. 45. Who once, in her native village, aloud to the students assembled, Perused a line of Greek from the excellent Epic of Homer; She scanned it and gave Attic forms, and then to the multitude present Named the main caesura, and explained the apparent hiatus. Thus, then, she made her debut before the long-haired Archasans. 50. And. with her followed in order a fleet of thirty blue vessels. And likewise from Central East Berkeley came twenty-one violet vessels, Who had for their dashing commander the far-famed daughter of Engle. The rosy-fingered Ruth Engle, who learned in the Berkeley High School The art of bandaging wounds, and constructing for comfort of warriors 55. Bags full of buttons and thread and needles and safeties and letter s. These were the warrioresses who came at the call of the heralds. And the men stood by in the council, and heard the words of the women. And Sharlie commanded them all, for she was a Zeus-nourished princess. A plan was quickly propounded to capture the Castle of Sheepskins; 60. And holding the powerful teacher a captive, ready for ransom, To demand as the price of her freedom a rec. to the U. C. of Berkeley. Straightway then the forces were marshalled; before them, advancing to battle, Rode the Zeus-nourished, war-loving Sharlie, striking fear to the valiant defenders. Full quickly the conflict was ended; the broad-streeted city was taken. 65. The classic commander was captured, and with her the recommendations. To each valiant besieger was given a sheepskin of marvellous beauty, Made from the Golden Fleece, which was captured by Commodore Jason. Their purpose now being accomplished, they released the teacher of classics. And now the victorious Sharlie led back her conquering forces 70. To Berkeley, abounding in doves, and famed for its beautiful women. 77 The Missing Photographs. mr. UMson fioia$ a meeting of tbe E. $. B. $.

Exeunt all.] One dark evening some time ago, when the Womandolin Club met for rehearsal in the High School, Mr. Cummings found himself the only one there, that is, except seventeen girls. Mr. Cummings is naturally a ladies ' man, but that night he was indeed popular. When the time came to depart, he became a great favorite, chaperones being scarce, and while in the midst of a sea of loveliness, inadvertently said to a Sweet Little Thing, May I carry your instrument? Certainly, eagerly responded the seventeen. Mr. Cummings ' breath left him, and everything grew dark before his eyes. But he was the man, the only man, for the occasion. Grasping one banjo, nine guitars and seven mandolins in his clutches, he stumbled forth. The next morning was the first time that Mr. Cummings noticed that the hand of Time had used the white-wash brush on his raven locks. Che Ulomandoiin and Git mar Club.

DEL MON Pictures can do more than serve as suggestions of the great attractions of Del Monte. There is such a wide variety, and everything is on such a broad scale, that from no one standpoint can the story be told. No matter where the camera stands, there are scores and scores of other scenes of equal interest and attractiveness. It is yet to be placed on record that any stranger has visited this resort and been other than agree- ably disappointed. Everything is up to (and beyond) the brag. The grounds and flowers are a revelation ; the eighteen-mile drive around the ocean shore and back through the sweet-smelling pine forests is a marvel, and the hotel itself is as near perfection in all its appointments as it is possible to reach.

P. cif ic Story. «« A leather medal to the person who can cir- cumvent a Southern Pacific official ! Won by Metcalf in four seconds. The event was spirited throughout. Metcalf was entered for the long distance broad bluff, with the S. P. as an opponent, on the day of the U. C- Stanford field-day. The crisis of the event was when he tried to run a punched ticket on the gatekeeper at the Mole. By a magnificent spurt Metcalf got inside, but was fouled by his failure to keep his thumb over the extra punch-mark in the ticket. He was promptly collared and ordered to pungle. S. P. was now confident that he had his opponent shut out. Unfortunately, the gatekeeper was gifted with only the or- dinary number of hands, and these became fully occupied with the influx of passengers. Metcalf saw his opportunity, and gathered his fading energies for the finish. His grand final sneak from the custody of the gate- keeper through the crowd and onto the boat, leaving his irate nibs swearing in im- potent wrath, was a brilliant feat. Metcalf won hands down, proving that he was in a class bv himself. 87 School Desks and Supplies Globes, « maps, « Charts, « Blackboards — U. S. BUNTING FLAGS G. F.

The Marquis (pronounced Markee) got to gazing over his shoulder at how Sampson had blown the southern province of Cuba into the Wind- ward Passage, and Nora — well Nora kept on walking and, of course, talking. After about a block she ended with, Now really, Mr. Baird, don ' t you think so ? Me no sabbe, me alle same washy shirt.

We have come, said the B. M., giving the gentleman his choicest I-want-to-get-your- ad. bow, to see if you would play a few selections for us. Observing who they were, the young man proceeded to imitate the harp, zither, man- dolin, etc., etc., to the edification and delight of the three disgraces. Chahmed, delighted, grahnd, perfectly grahnd, murmured the B. M., making a mental note of how a full page ad with photogravure would look. This one is how much? asked the Class Treasurer, trying to make a top string and a collar button become sonorous. $600.00, answered the delighted agent, were you thinking of purchasing ? Well, yes, you see, put in the B. M., we wanted to hear the instrument, being musicians, that is, two of us. Why, try the piano, gurgled the affable ivory-puncher, and see how you like it. Now the B. M. had neglected to say that as a musician he played poker only, and that the E. E. was an artist only when it came to playing the garden hose. [ Here the parchment ends. The author was thoughtful. The reader ' s nerves are perhaps already unstrung by the tragic situation, but he may be quite certain that the B.

Mr. Ratcliff was discovered sitting upon one of the Physics tables the other day, and was warned by Prof. Woods that he was in extreme peril. Why, Mr. Ratcliff, said he, when the old-fashioned Dutch maidens observed a youth sitting on a table they were accustomed to kiss him. Ratcliff is sudden- ly seized with paleness and trembling, slips down from the table and retreats behind a screen in the rear of the room. Davenport viewed his flight with considerable amuse- ment, and observing that the room was filled with maidens (not Dutch, however), imme- diately clambered to the top of the most prominent table. Dungan, viewing his situation with horror, warned him of his dangerous position. Whereupon, that phil- osophical youth, with a look of sweet ex- pectancy replied, I aint a scared. 96 W. J. SLOANE CO.
