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

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

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 !
