Cohen 8 N the passing of another year, the time has now come when we must in our turn lay down our editorial pens and resign the interest of the Olla Podrida to our newly elected successors. The maintainance of our High School paper throughout the past year, although it has in- volved great effort on the part of the board of editors, has been mixed with much enjoyment, and therefore a feeling of regret is mingled with our pleasure and sense of relief as we lay down the task which has occupied so important a place among our High School duties. It has ever been the endeavor of the entire corps of editors to keep the standard of the paper as high as possible. We have remem- bered that it stands as the representative organ of our Berkeley High School, and as such was a periodical setting forth of our aims and our abilities to friends both at home and abroad. We are grateful for the words of appreciation which from time to time have encouraged us to believe that in this effort we have been fairly successful. We have indeed done our best. Angels could do no more. And now, if it may be allowable to lay aside for the moment the editorial we, I wish to extend a sincere expression of gratitude to the members of my staff, who have labored so faithfully and well during the entire year in assisting me. Whatever measure of success has been achieved is due largely to their work and also to the untir- ing efforts of our business managers, who have given us the firm financial basis which is always a prerequisite for any successful publication. Grateful acknowledgments are also due to all our contributors outside the editor- ial corps, and to those friends who, in our one time of financial depression, came so generously forward with their assistance. Our teachers, too, have occasionally con- tributed to our columns, and have been kind and helpful with advice and suggestion. With great consideration they have often, in casting up accounts, laid over and against our deficiencies the magic shibboleth — Olla Podrida. But now our struggles, our failures and our successes are things of the past. As the class of ' 00 we must soon bid farewell to our High School life and home. Our class ties and individuality will soon be lost in greater pursuits, beyond the High School realm, but we confidently believe that when we are separated one from another and even far from the place of our companionship, a glance now and then through the pages of our beloved Olla Podrida will serve to recall the happy times we have enjoyed together, and to arouse again the old-time enthusiasm for our ever dear Berkeley High School. Joyfully do we look forward to its future, and to the future of our High School paper. In the topmost nook of a magnificent new building, future editors of the Olla Podrida, from their easy-chairs, shall gaze upon the surpassing glory of our western sea and beauty of the eastern land, drawing such inspiration from the view as shall make their paragraphs the admiration of all readers, and as shall bring new fame and distinction to the Olla Podrida, until it becomes a fitting representative of the finest High School in the land and a model for all competitors. 9 H farewell from f ot OOD-BY to Nineteen Hundred ' s class, That body grave and grand. Now at the close of High School days Before the world they stand. How proud our Senior struts about, Nor deigns to give a smile To Juniors small and Middlers all, Who gaze with awe the while ! Oh, note that proud and lofty brow, Bespeaking such a mind ! That patronizing glance bestowed On others left behind. Dear Seniors all, we know full well Your great, surpassing worth, But now that you ' re to graduate, Pray don ' t expect the earth ! ' Tis true you ' ll all go forth and win Great glory, many a prize ; You all do honor to our school, That fact we ' ll not disguise. And that we ' ll miss you, Seniors dear, I ' ll own is very true. But still you ' ll leave some others here Who ' ll shine as bright as you ! If you would see the magic power Of genius, wit and brain, Just wait until the Naughty-Ones Assume this High School ' s rein. Till we have reached the Senior ' s place, Our glory spreading far — Till we can show to all the rest How very small they are ! With this in mind, our honored Iriends, We really can ' t, you know, Profess that we ' re so very sad To see you Seniors go ! So hoping that good fortune fair May on your pathway lie, We ' ll give three cheers for Naughty-Naught, And gladly say, 1 ' Good-by ! ' ' A. K. M., ' 01 IO H Sketch Look on this picture and then on that. AR off in Old Mexico there stood one of those charming low ranch- houses of stone and adobe, enclosing a court set with flowers and shrubs. The morning was nearly gone ; indeed the stillness suggested noontime. Within the court the faint tinkling of a bell announced to the inmates of Senor Lorenzo ' s household that the dinner-time was actually at hand. Presently a door opened gently and the stately figure of Senora Lorenzo appeared under the portico. Glancing at the table spread a short distance away, she saw that no one, except herself, had answered the summons to dinner ; so she stepped to the edge of the portico, where sunshine and shadow met in a distinct line, and called softly two or three times. Children ' s voices answered from another part of the garden, and soon three little boys, dark eyed and curly headed, came racing up, only to be quickly dispatched to get ready for their meal. The children had no sooner disappeared than the sound of galloping hoots was heard, which announced the arrival of the lord of the ranch, Senor Lorenzo himself. In a few moments he appeared within the court, fanning his dusky face with his huge sombrero. When at last this little family was seated at the table, what could be more homelike than the picture they presented. Under the shady arches it was cool and restful ; the sound of the water in the fountain dropping into the stone basin and trickling happily away in a little stream through the flower beds furnished an accom- paniment soft and musical ; gentle breezes wafted faint perfumes hither and thither. The birds chirped, the children laughed and chattered. The first part of dinner over, the little ones waited impatiently for the coming of the old servant with their favorite dish. That dish most savory, most appetizing, was the far-famed Olla Podrida, which is as often identified with a Mexican as a guitar is with a Spanish troubadour. It came upon the table in a large earthen bowl, a family heirloom, which some Lorenzo of ancient days had obtained from an Indian chief. The crude scrolls and circles on the outside gave it an unique appearance, strongly in contrast with the delicate and elaborately worked linen which surrounded it. A peep at the interior revealed an indescribable mass of meat and vegetables : peas, corn, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, red peppers and — the cook only knew what else ! As the name indicates, a most interesting mixture was this. The family appetites were at length appeased, and the noble dish was borne away. But the Olla Podrida transported to the shore of San Francisco Bay, banishes the thought of the picturesque southern mansion, with its balconies, portico, garden and fountain. Instead we see a grim old building covered with a coat of gray paint equal- ing only itself in age. Within this uninviting structure a large family dwells, and it is I I interesting to know that this family, so far away from the one first mentioned, indulges once every two weeks in that same concoction, the Olla Podrida. On the specified day an announcement is made that the Olla Podrida will be given out, and then, of course, the famished multitude make frantic efforts to get their individual allotments. This unseemly haste would, perhaps, be excused, considering the intervening time between servings, but when groups of boys and girls pass down the principal streets of the town eagerly devouring the Olla Podrida, it is evident that it is no longer Old Mexico, and that custom is different. This compound is somewhat drier than its namesake, and in place of the earthen bowl it is served between crimson leaves, one of which is adorned by an artistic sketch; the other is covered with hieroglyphics interesting to decipher. The ingredients are as varied as could be imagined. Some are pithy, but hard to digest ; these the chief cook attends to himself, so he alone is responsible. Some ingredients are at times sharp and cutting ; others are pleasant and mild — Exchanges one might call them. They can always be relied upon and are relished by those who live at a distance. Again, there are parts sweet, delicious and familiar, having a spicy personality which is thoroughly enjoyed by all, and highly necessary to the excellence of the mixture. Then there is one of a Latin name, found in the compound only, in tiny pieces, because of the great and lamented scarcity of the essential elements. Tales of varying lengths and grades are the most substantial of all parts. Other titbits, plain and healthful, add their own peculiar touches of flavor. All these numerous compo- nents are blended and made into a composite mass by the application of a liberal amount of spirits, voluntarily bestowed by the whole school. This school spirit is the essence which contributes so much to the enjoyment of all who are interested in the welfare of this Olla Podrida. katherine Frances storie, ' 00. 12 VX)t JMystery of San JMarco EARS and years ago, when America was little more than a name to most of the European nations, a quaint little vessel, proudly floating the Spanish flag, sailed into the quiet harbor of what is now the oldest city in the United States — St. Augustine. She dropped anchor under the guns of the grim, gray fort guarding the harbor entrance, greeted by a royal salute. Soon a small boat shot out from the walls and sped swiftly to the side of the ship, now so calmly rocking in the swell, while her weather-beaten sails were rapidly being furled. In the boat was the governor of St. Augustine, captain-general of Fort San Marco, supreme in power over the province and responsible only to the Spanish king. He was richly dressed and his face, though resolute and strong, was cruel and relentless. The governor of St. Augustine had come to welcome Don Fernando Menendez, who had been sent by the Spanish sovereign to investigate the manner in which the governor had executed his high trust, and to report the condition of the settle- ment. The people rejoiced at his coming and whispered among themselves that he would redress their wrongs, put an end to injustice and tyranny — that he would dare report the governor ' s treason to the king. The people had murmured — they had even spoken of ' ' treason ' ' ; but they dared do nothing against their powerful leader. He had felt this distrust, had caught an echo of the whispered treason, so he welcomed the royal deputy most graciously, and for several weeks the old fort was the scene of lengthy feasts and nightly revels — the governor spared no effort to favorably impress Don Fernando. He realized that if all his deeds, all the people said against him, were reported to the king, not only would his high position be lost, but his life would be endangered. Treasonable -actions were summarily punished in those days. Yet in spite of the captain-general ' s most courtly care for his guest, and of all the gayety, Don Fernando Menendez found time to go often among the people ; to learn of many dreadful deeds which the gloomy cells and thick walls of San Marco had wit- nessed. He gained many proofs of the governor ' s faithlessness, and could scarcely conceal his distrust and scorn, as he waited impatiently for the date set for his return. But the governor knew well that his king would learn how he had betrayed his trust : all was lost should Don Fernando return. He must never reach Spain. With no conscience, unlimited power, a few trusty servants, and the secret dungeons of San Marco, the governor ' s plans were not difficult to execute. One morning, just before the return of the vessel, St. Augustine was horrified by the news that the gallant Don Fernando Menendez, who had won all hearts by his universal kindness, was most suddenly stricken with the dread yellow fever. The governor had small need to command that no one should go near his apartments, save two servants. The word fever was sufficient to make everyone take all precautions against contagion. Don Fernando was kind and good, but to try and help him would be to risk one ' s life. l 3 The next day he was reported much worse by the solicitous governor. The ship must sail, it was delayed as it was, but Don Fernando ' s report was sent to his sover- eign. It was read to the assembled settlers and contained high praise of the efficient governor of St. Augustine and a glowing account of the prosperous condition of the province. The people dared not protest openly : and the ship sailed, leaving Don Fernando Menendez to the care of the 1 ' efficient ' ' governor. Two days later a coffin was hastily buried, deep under the moat of Fort San Marco — Don Fernando was dead. The governor regretted that a public funeral was impossible, but the danger from contagion was too great ; no one could see him. The settlers mourned for him sincerely — they had loved him and had hoped that his com- ing meant a happier life for them. The}- could not even show their respect and affection by flowers nor monument — the water in the moat hid his grave, and nothing remained of gallant Don Fernando Menendez but the loving memories in the hearts of all the settlers. About thirty years ago St. Augustine, still Spanish in appearance, but thronged with visitors from all parts of the United States, was horrified by a discovery acciden- tally made by workmen digging in old Fort San Marco, now called Fort Marion. A narrow cell was found, below the deepest dungeon known in the fort. In it was an iron cage containing a yellow skeleton. Nothing to indicate identity was found but a golden ring, graven with the Menendez coat of arms, a family well known in centuries past for their distinguished bravery and loyalty to the Spanish crown. The governor ' s treason will never be discovered — the secret was immured in the dun- geon with Don Fernando Menendez. h. h.

The sun was shining, all the hills were green, And lovely little valleys smiled between; Wild flowers were blooming ' mid the poppies red, Golden with sunshine in their verdant bed. In dazzling splendor to the westward lay The silver sheen of San Francisco bay, While Tamalpais and Mt. Diablo stood Majestic, grand, in silent brotherhood. The ferry-boats, like ants that come and go, Busy as bees, were plying to and fro Past stately ships with cargoes from afar, Riding at anchor safe within the bar. I stood and gazed and drank in with delight The scene of beauty in its glow of light. When lo, the cold gray fog in solemn state Came rolling landward through the Golden Gate, Effacing all that late had seemed so bright, Enshrouding me within the gloom of night. Surprised and startled I retraced my way Seeking the homeward path through mists of gray. As on I hastened, unfamiliar grew The path I trod, until at last I knew That I was lost. So on a mossy bank Discouraged, warm, and tired, I weakly sank. When lo, the fog uplifting, to the view Disclosed a greenwood glade. The sun shone through Upon an alder grove, whose feathery crest, Shadowed below a leafy tangled nest 2 5 Of stately fern and dainty maidenhair; A tinkling brook flung to the fragrant air Perpetual laughter; farther on and deep Lay a still pool in which the brook could sleep. Thither I made my way, and at the brink I knelt upon the flower-gemmed moss to drink. One draught I took, delicious, cool, and clear, When sudden fell upon my startled ear A chorus of faint sounds from all around, Amidst the green, and close by from the ground There spoke a voice like music faint and sweet. Startled, I sought its source, and at my feet Spied a small lily, frail and waxen white, And, poised upon its tip a fairy, light As thistle-down, and daintier than the flower The elfin mistress of this sylvan bower. Welcome, oh maiden, spake this gauzy sprite, To this our magic glade of pure delight; Thy crystal draught shall make thee understand The sweet word-music of this fairy-land. A vale of joy untroubled this must be ; II aught of mortal sorrow burdens thee Call on the bird-folk, who my subjects are, Thy heart ' s desire they ' ll bring, tho ' near or far. Hither, my birds, she said, and at the word A fluttering of myriad wings I heard, And, hastening to the faint sound of her call, There flocked her feathered subjects, one and all. The fairy then her light wings folded up And disappeared within the lily cup. A gaudy blue jay, bolder than the rest, Said, Luckless mortal, what may be your quest? What brings you here within the enchanted shade Which we, the birds, our paradise have made? Then spake I, wond ' ring, Oh, ye little birds, What I most ardently desire is words; I am, indeed, a damsel in distress, — Behold in me the High School Prophetess. Tell me, I pray, what fortunes shall be wrought To cheer the brilliant class of Naughty - Naught ? Then rose a clamor, it was strange to hear, Of sweet-toned, flute-like voices high and clear. Send out our heralds; let them fly and see 26 With instant swiftness, what the names may be Of these poor innocents who have been taught As members of the class of Naughty- Naught. Then said the blue jay, Maiden, would you know Which one of us can heal your mortal woe? In yonder hollow tree trunk you can trace A dim and shadowy figure, and a face Heavy with sleep. The centuries gone by And all the years that in the future lie Can hold no secrets from this sage old bird; Him we ' ll awake, his verdict shall be heard. We neared the old owl ' s twilight shelter dim, With summons shrill the blue jay wakened him Out of his slumber. Now the heralds came, And as each tiny bird pronounced a name, Deep from the tree trunk e ' en my mortal ear The hollow voice of prophecy could hear, Telling what future fate should come to pass To every member of the dear old class. To-whit, to-whoo! In wonderment I heard The solemn voice of this prophetic bird ; To-whit, to-whoo! Give me but time for thought And I ' ll supply the information sought.

A little wren then guided me along The hillside slopes, with cheerful chirp and song, Until I found a path that led me down Into the precincts of the college town. Now, said the wren, excuse me, I must go, This penetrating fog-mist chills me so. Thus did I learn of what is yet to be ; ' Tis not original, the birds told me. GRETA D. AUGUSTINE. 35 N THE town of Berkeley stands a venerable building, beaten upon by the rains of many winters, warmed by the suns of many summers. Upon its aged face, as it gazes forth on Center Street, is an expres- sion which the unfeeling regard indifferently, but which, to the per- son with a spark of poetic sentiment in his soul, expresses mingled wisdom and benevolence, worn by the care of training and watching the many sons and daughters who have gone forth from beneath its paternal roof. Such an one, though he venerates this antiquated structure, sees a new building is needed, and with all his strength, with all his soul, and with all his might, he pledges his endeavors to secure it. Into this edifice, in the late summer of the year 1897, trooped a host of youths and maidens in pursuit of knowledge. Like all other comers to the Berkeley High, they contemplated a three years ' sojourn within those learned halls. They styled themselves the Class of ' 00, and, now that I have them introduced to you, let me tell their story as one of their own number. Compared with most high school classes ours was very young in years and in nature. We possessed a clear and effervescent spirit of fun, which rose above our newly acquired dignity, as Juniors in the Berkeley High School, and spread abroad in our first class meeting. Without a thought of Ricardo we seized the chalk and threw it back and forth, scattering it over the schoolroom floor. Mr. Waterman, fearing that no chalk would be left in the possession of the High School, or any patience in the soul of Ricardo, determined to check our overflowing spirits, and so forbade more political meetings until such time as the gravity of the class should make disorder an impossibility. As time went on our youthful minds in their mobility adapted themselves to the prescribed school work ; day by day we turned the pages of Euclid, of Vergil, and of all the other familiar friends. Again we were permitted to hold class meetings ; and never again, as both Mr. Waterman and Mr. James, our principals, will testify, did these meetings become the scenes of disorder. We spent our Junior year adapting ourselves to the conditions of the Berkeley High, as most Junior classes do. Although we did nothing phenomenal during this period, neither did we do anything of which we need be ashamed. 37 In this year ' 98 was completing her course. The stories of her successes and well- won victories will ever hold a prominent position in the annals of the Berkeley High School. The very fact that ' 00 holds her place gives a general idea of our achieve- ments. I hear that most historians displease the goddess of truth as well as their readers by exalting the members of their class to the sky. It is needless to say I have no such intention. I have been appointed to narrate the history of my class, and shall do it simply and truthfully, to the best of my ability. But let us return to our narrative. After this uneventful Juniorship we took a vacation and returned Middlers. The comet ' 98 had departed, leaving a lurid glare in her wake, and ' 99 was in the zenith. She was small in numbers, and we felt it our duty to make her memories of the B. H. S. pleasant and to help her to present a fav- orable appearance to the outside world. She therefore not only enjoyed our hearty moral support and good-will, but she also received a portion of the money derived from the minstrel show, and we did all in our power to make the Senior Musicale a success. This is but one example of the application of a principle in which we have always believed, and which has been our guide in many actions. Our class has always acted for the benefit of the school, usually setting aside all matters which did not interest the rest of the school. We have had for our object the advancement of the B. H. S. rather than the promotion of the class of ' 00. We fervently hope that future classes will be true to this principle. In this year we took a prominent part in athletics. We had a large proportion of our class men in every team of the year except the bicycle relay, in which we won the cup so gallantly. The captains of the football, baseball, and swimming teams were our class men, and the latter team consisted exclusively of ' 00 men. Of the six men who won the relay in the April Field-Day four were from our class. How well they ran that race you know. At the close of the term came the well-deserved vacation. We returned to have the toga of Seniorship thrown about our shoulders. Mr. Waterman, so long identified with the High School, was city superintendent of schools, and Mr. James had taken his place as principal of the High School. Added to the number of our well-known teachers was Mr. Hackley . The class of ' 00 alone shall reap the benefits of his instruction in history and civil government. Miss Bridgeman occupied the position of Mr. Woods. She, too, will give her aid in physics to the class of ' 00 alone. We soon set to work to perform our Senior duties. In the first place there was the Olla Podrida. In the latter part of the preceding term we had elected its staff and it took but a short time to prove that wise and judicious selections had been made. Near the middle of the term Manager Wells found it necessary to resign his position. There was a deficit in the funds of the paper, which the retiring manager offered to pay, but the school had too much patriotism to permit such a sacrifice, and, by con- tributions, not only did the pupils make up the deficiency, but several persons pledged themselves a dollar each, to be used in case of another financial difficulty. Mr. Hall, 38 ' 00, was elected manager, and since then the paper has kept on the even tenor of its way. With a high literary reputation and a clear account-book, we hand it over to the class of ' 01. About four months of our Senior year had elapsed when our minds began to turn toward graduation. In the first place we had to elect a president — one who could lead and direct class affairs in the last and most important term of our three years ' work. It is known to you how much discussion and excitement this aroused. Mr. James Fozard was elected. The wisdom of this selection was only equaled by that shown in the election of the other class officers. 1 Next we had to decide what should be done on Class- Day. The mind of every member of the class was fixed on one thing, namely, that we should leave the trodden path of history, farce and prophecy, and do something original. After much animated discussion and profound investigation by a committee, it was decided to present a musical sketch and a comedy. Much difficulty was experienced in the selection of this play, but finally one acceptable to most of the class was chosen — False Pre- tensions. Since then the usual round of committees have been appointed and the usual work accomplished. And now the class ol ' 00 stands ready to receive its diplomas. Though we shall never again meet in room H, though we shall never again receive rewards and punish- ments from the same hands, and though we shall never again stand as subjects under the crimson and gold, yet we, the class ot ' 00, the last B. H. S. class of the century, we who are the last to graduate from the old Berkeley High School Building, do now, and always shall, hold the Berkeley High School in deepest love and veneration. In years to come we shall still hold it near and dear ; we shall follow it in its every activ- ity as closely and with as much interest as any of its pupils. We shall cheer for your debaters and your athletes, we shall weep in your adver- sity, rejoice in your triumphs, as doth become the sons of our venerable mother, and as her loving kindness doth deserve. Raymond Henderson, ' 00. 39 N THE fall of ' 98 there entered the High School an assemblage of wide- awake, self-reliant pupils from all parts of the State. Having established their individual identity, and become acquainted with each other and the traditions of the B. H. S. , these energetic young people applied them- selves diligently to their studies, in the hope of eventually becoming Seniors. Not being sufficiently occupied, however, ' 01 resolved to show what it could do in the athletic line. In the spring, therefore, the sturdy young giants of the class helped to defeat Oakland in the field-day, and to win the bicycle relay. Four of the best players on the baseball team were picked from our class, and it was not their fault that the team did not win the championship instead of third place. We number among our members some of the most prominent in the High School. In our Junior year one of our boys was elected president of the athletic association, a thing of which not every class can boast. Then, too, we have artists, poets, debaters and rustlers among our number. Why, we would not exchange our best rustler for a ' ' brick ' ' of gold ! And then, our debaters ! We supplied two debaters for each team this year. And if anyone doubts our artistic or poetic ability, we refer him to the editor of the Olla Podrida, who will tell him that ' 01 has been doing more quiet, helpful work in that line than has any other class. But our greatest triumph has yet to be spoken of. Oakland, our dear old rival and beloved enemy, has actually been endeavoring to gain the good graces of the Middle Class ! This may seem a very positive assertion, but the following facts will greatly lessen the general incredulity : As you all know, recently several prominent Oaklandites repeatedly referred to an alleged brotherly love, which they declared existed between Oakland and Berkeley. Now for whom could this be intended, if not for the Middle Class ? The Seniors will graduate this June, so Oakland has nothing to fear from them. But this is not all. One of our boys, I need not mention his name, in the recent ruff house on the campus, so excited the admiration and respect of our Oakland friends by his eques- trian dexterity and agility that he succeeded in obtaining half a dozen of their hats as small tokens of their esteem, without giving his own in exchange. This Middler can also testify to the endearing names by which these lovable Oakland youths referred to him, in their efforts to detain him with them for a little while longer. Such suscepti- bility, on the part of Oakland, is somewhat surprising, and, to thoughtful people, can mean only one thing. With such a record behind us, such proofs of our ability as students, athletes, artists, writers and managers, who can doubt that we will, as Seniors, next year lead in every branch of learning and athletics, set a grave and reverend example to the other classes, and leave behind us, in ' 01, a bright and unsullied reputation and a feel- ing of sorrow and regret among our teachers and friends ? GEORGE WARREN, ' 01. Literary hyperbole ; allowed, however, in the publication. — Ed. 4 0 ' mm ITH flying colors of crimson and gold, the good ship Junior, B. H. S. , set sail from the Harbor of Good Hope, in the month of August, 1899. She was bound on a voyage of discovery to new lands and strange seas, and was destined to stop at many a port ere she anchored safely in the Cove of Knowledge. This was by no means the first voyage the Junior had made. Every year she set forth on a similar trip and always at the start her hull appearance was green. By the time much cargo had been taken on board, however, this hue wore off. In every respect she was a first class vessel. Her passengers, crowded on the deck, waved a farewell to their Vacation Days left behind, and looked for the last time upon a familiar, flat-roofed building with a flag- pole. Their adieu expressed no regrets, however, for every person, out of the one hundred souls on board, felt eager for adventure. And surely the journey promised to be enjoyable, when all set out with bright hopes. For may reasons, also, it could not fail to be instructive. Captain Hanna and his officers had admirable control over the ship. They knew all would not be clear sailing and that rocks and reefs lay hidden in the Sea of Indus- try, but land would never be out of sight and there were lighthouses along the shore, for during a previous voyage several had been left behind that were light in the upper story. At the first port the little ship took on board a few tons of history, several bales of Latin verbs, and twenty reams of Sir Roger de Coverley papers. A collection of algebraical curios also found place in the cargo. The passengers devoted themselves to a study of the verbs, and much of their time was occupied in examinations of the curios. The progress of the ship became slower with the weightier cargo, and the passengers, absorbed in their work, saw small chance for recreation. Several times Captain Hanna called meetings of the passengers. On these occa- sions affairs of common interest were discussed, and much important business trans- acted. Once the assembly grew so enthusiastic and excited that the ship seemed about to capsize. Captain Hanna, fearing mutiny, tried his best to put down the com- motion, and finally order was restored by applying maxims from the twentieth book of the New Testament. The Junior sailed on with no other adventures until, in December, she came in sight of Holiday Island. The passengers, it must be confessed, were rather sick 41 from their trip and gladly welcomed the thought of a rest. Two weeks were spent on the Island. When the voyage was resumed new officers took charge of the vessel. Cavalier, the portly captain, made up in avoirdupois what the slender first mate, Hickey, lacked. Both were such able managers, however, that in a few days every- thing on shipboard was in working order. The cargo was increased by fifty barrels of Greek, and there were also a number of new passengers. Among all on board there were several distinguished people — Stoddard, a noted tenor singer ; Girvin, an orator ; Radford, an actor on the French stage ; and Plum- mer and Monson, two far-famed athletes, not to mention various masters of other arts. Some of the lady passengers had for a pet a small Lamb, but others found more profitable employment. The busy days passed swiftly by. All hard tasks were met with cheerfully, there being only one Cross person on board. Every passenger took advantage of his opportunities for acquiring information. The fresh sea-breeze gave all a keen appetite, and so great was their thirst for knowledge that the water supply gave out while yet many leagues lay between them and their destination. The Water- man, however, obviated this difficulty by taking on board, at the next island, two small Ponds. In the last of May, however, the long-looked-for shore appeared on the horizon. All was stir and expectation on the vessel. Bales of cargo were crammed into every conceivable nook to be ready for the vigilant examination of the custom-house officials. The Junior at last dropped anchor in the harbor. The voyage was over but the passengers were loathe to bid farewell to the ship that had borne them safely through fair and stormy weather. The ship was put in the dry dock to be over- hauled and made ready for her next voyage. With many good-byes and good wishes the passengers parted, vowing never to forget the happy days and hours spent on the Junior, ' neath the crimsom and gold flag.

Principal ----- Mathematics Miss Helena Curtis ----- - English Miss Rosemary Dobbins - - English History Miss Helen Gompertz ------ Latin Class Ristory HERE is always a feeling of depression in the High School when the Senior Class grad- uates ; moreso than ever this year, since the athletes and students of the High School who deserve most mention are found in the Class of ' 00. It is our humble opinion, how- ever, that the incoming class of ' 03 will more than take the place of the departing Seniors, and that the High School need not sigh, but rejoice. At first glance there was nothing particularly noticeable about the members of the class of ' 03, except that they were a much stronger and finer looking set than Sub-Juniors usually are. These Sub-Juniors have already become noted for their orderly meetings and the interest taken in the class business. Then the scholarly ability of the class has been a matter of great surprise to the teachers generally. The two debates which we had during the term showed marvelous originality and thought. Another event that brightens the glory of ' 03 ' s brilliant career is her first reception to her members. Never before were there so many handsome young ladies at a Sub-Junior reception ; never before so many delightful games, and never before such deli- cious ice cream. We may, with all modesty, assert that ours is the jolliest class in Berkeley. In August, as also in January, two great clubs were organized and their officers were elected for the ensuing year. We need say nothing about our athletic abilities, except that we beg the skeptical just to wait a year. We rely upon our athletes to capture the most important positions next year, both in the semi-annual field-days and on the diamond and gridiron. Though we did not have a regular field-day this year many of the boys were training on the track and preparing them- selves for next year. Now, with this good preparation, we may truly prophesy that ' 03 will live up to her estab- lished reputation, and when our younger brothers and sisters assemble in these rooms, may they look upon our past record and recognize it as being made by a class worthy of their emulation. w.

During the time in which we have been pupils of the Berkeley High School the ever-patriotic members of the Class of 1900 have contributed their share towards adding a more brilliant luster to its fame. Time after time the members of the class, together with members of the other classes, have entered contests with other schools when only the barest chances of winning were evident, but encouraged by their asso- ciate members ; when the battle was over, the flagship of Berkeley High sailed out as queen of the waves that washed the enemy ' s shore. Although our building has no assembly-room, our school sentiment is growing stronger and stronger, and to-night we trust that in you, as in us, there is a deep con- viction that a new building should be erected, suitable in appliances and in architectural beauty to the needs of the Berkeley High School. But aside from all the solicitude we feel for the premises so dear to us, there are yet living beings within those walls more endeared to us, by the sacrifices they have made and the fidelity they have shown unto us. In our hearts, as long as we have a feeling of gratitude, as long as we have the attributes of manhood and womanhood, just so long must we cherish the memory of those who have made us what we are — the teachers of our school. When we stepped into the doorway of the High School they grasped us by the hand and gave us a place in their hearts. They have ever guided us over the dangerous chasms, over the sinking sands, along the narrow trail, until the safe, high ground of educa- tional advancement was reached. They gave to us their careful assistance and their thoughtful consideration. F urthermore, their fireside seemed to widen, and to each student they gave the love of a parent and the friendship of a friend. Long after they have passed out of the horizon of our lives we must see them in memory, we must feel their hand clasp our hands, and down in our hearts we must plant sweet forget-me- nots of love and gratitude. And how shall I cast our future? Oh, I wish that to me were granted the power to give you all happiness, honor and wealth ! But I cannot see beyond the wave, or above the mountain crest, or even beyond the tower of the University. Many of us, perhaps, will enter the portals of the University of California, to work upon the higher planes of learning. There some of us, by the study of letters, may be enabled to achieve the richest eloquence of men ; by the study of art, to become capable of paint- ing the glories of nature and earth ; and by the study of science and philosophy, to split the mountain of mystery with the rod of reason. Yet, schoolmates and friends, wherever we may go, whatever the future may have in store for us, we shall enter no temple so grand, no State so wonderful, no people so eminent, no assemblage so elo- quent, but, that with honor, with triumph, we may raise aloft the banner of the Ber- keley High School and say, This is the symbol of the ship that rode the waves in every storm and steered its course ever onward by the compass of truth. In order that we and our friends, on this evening of our class-day, might have an hour ' s pleasure together, we have prepared a light program to present you. I trust that you will not, from the title of the play, believe that the Class of 1900 are in the habit of assuming ' ' False Pretensions. ' ' We do not pretend to be concert singers or professional actors, so we therefore trust that you will judge us only as youthful ama- teurs, and hope that we may have much mirth and a hearty laugh together before say- ing farewell. 45 false pretensions CAST OF CHARACTERS : Monsieur Ratinois, a retired confectioner - Walter Whitlock Dr. Malingear, a patientless physician - Emil Kruschke Uncle Robert, a frugal coal merchant - - Fred Weber Frederic, M.

Two simple, modest French families, for the sake of bringing about a marriage between their children, outdo each other in false pretensions to great wealth and high social position. The parents are the foolish ones, for the young lovers, Frederic and Emmeline, remain almost entirely unaffected by the example of their elders, their simple, natural behavior in pleasing contrast to the feigned world- liness of their parents. The play has two scenes; The first laid in Monsieur Malingear ' s home, the second in Mon- sieur Ratinois ' . In each we are given a charming glimpse of the natural home life of the family before the guests arrive for whose sake false elegance must be assumed. There is, there- fore, a strong dramatic contrast between the genuine and the artificial in these two homes. In the first scene Monsieur and Madame Ratinois call at the home of M. Malingear, the former 46 under pretense of seeking medical advice, the latter under pretense of renting apartments. Their real p urpose is to measure the family into which their son Frederic desires to marry ; and so well do the Malingears deceive them by their false pretensions that the guests consider this must be a very wealthy and highly honored family. They depart, highly elated with their son ' s brilliant marriage prospects, yet somewhat doubtful as to whether so noble a family will con- sider Frederic an eligible match. Nevertheless, they return soon with a formal offer of marriage from Frederic to Emmeline. In the second scene the Ratinois family have the honor of receiving the Malingears, who call to accept Frederic ' s proposal for their daughter. The Ratinois in turn assume absurd airs of wealth and culture, which deceive their guests. An elaborate dinner to celebrate the betrothal is ordered for that very day. However, in fixing upon the marriage settlements, each father is forced to promise amounts far beyond his means in order to keep up to the appearances he has falsely assumed. Under the strain of this complication the men grow irritable, and the marriage arrangements would have been broken off had not Uncle Robert, honest, blunt, kind-hearted Uncle Robert, intervened as an angel of mercy at the right moment. He dis- closes the false parts all have been playing, and makes them see their folly. All are relieved to be their natural selves again, and after some humorous confessions on both sides, decide thereafter to give up all false pretensions. The play is thoroughly entertaining. It sparkles with fun. The humor lies both in the witty dialogue and in the laughable situations. The cast, as given above, is remarkably well chosen; and, as no character has what could be called a minor part, each actor will have the opportunity of proving his dramatic abilities and of adding substantially to the success of the play. 0 e JMusic Sketch rHE class of ' 00 is nothing if not ambitious, and has taken the opportunity afforded by the class-day exercises to show what some of them can do in the line of burlesque opera. A short but tragic performance by a quartet of the class will introduce the exercises at Shattuck Hall to-night. In this extravaganza a prince, a princess, a fairy, and a villain of the deepest dye will doubtless attempt to hold the sympathy and attention of the audience for at least ten minutes. The following cast of characters is given, not the only one by any means that could be made from the class, but one of many, merely as a sample to represent in a feeble way the great musical and histrionic talent of the class : Princess, prima donna soprano - .... Miss Edna Sawyer Fairy, celebrated contralto - - Miss Charlotte Whitney Prince, tenor robusto - - - Mr. Joe Hartley Villain, basso disgusto - - - Mr. Raymond Jones All are respectfully but earnestly requested to refrain from tears during at least this part of the evening ' s performance. 47 our Team ' Cbe forum PRESIDENTS FOR ' 99, ' 00 James Fozard Leslie Dobbins George Spencer |HE Forum was organized in the spring of ' 95 by about twenty boys, and its membership rapidly rose to about double that number. Its object at that time was to secure some means by which ' the boys of the High School could meet in regularly organized debates. Its membership has always been good, and at the present time over half of the boys of the school are active members. During the past year, in addition to the regular meetings, there have been two debates with outside organizations and several open meetings with some special feature in its program, usually in the nature of a mock trial. In the first of the above-men- tioned debates — a debate with the Ecclesia — the decision was won for the Forum by a team composed of Henderson, ' 00, Piatt, ' 01, and Adams, ' 01. In the second contest, however, the colors of the Forum fell before those of the Senior Debating Society of Oakland High School. Our team was Miller, ' 01, Adams, ' 01, and Henderson, ' 00, while that of the visitors was Ringolsky, ' 00, Samuels, ' 00, and Hawley, ' 00. This was the fourth annual debate between these two organiza- tions, and the score now stands even, each side having the honor of two victories. After the debate and the decision of the Judges, both the societies adjourned to the banquet-room of Shattuck Hall, there to enjoy a rather elaborate spread, and inci- dentally to hear several well-chosen toasts. On the whole, during the past year the Forum has more than sustained its reputa- tion. It now remains with the members of the classes of ' 01 and ' 02 to keep up the good work. The members of the graduating class wish them success and hope that the Forum will always maintain that high standard of efficiency which it now possesses. george elliott, ' 00. 48 49 The 6cclc3xa INCE the day of its formation the Ecclesia has not had a more suc- cessful year than that just past — 99- ' 00. Thanks to the good foundation laid bv the girls who have graduated from the B. H. S. — especially our sister debaters of the class of ' 99 — the society has gone on its way, untroubled by defeat or failure. Early in the school year our enthusiasm took tangible form : we determined to have a pin. Alter much discussion over various designs, we chose the one which we now wear — a green bow and an ivy leaf engraved with an E. Our first debate of importance to the outside world took place early in January. The Forum challenged us on the question: — Resolved, That California should not be divided into two States. The Forum had the negative and won. Sic semper tyranni. But our courage was still undaunted and we worked away with a will. Our representatives did us credit and we were proud of them. Life at best is full of ups and downs and our deteat simply made us more determined to win next time, whenever that should be. During the last part of the first term we were invited to send a delegation to San Rafael to attend the convention of the Debating League of Northern California. We accordingly accepted the invitation, and our delegates returned favorably im- pressed with the members of the League whom they met. In April the D. L. X. C. held its convention at the Mission High School, San Francisco, and the Ecclesia joined the League. The delegates were delightfully en- tertained by the M. H. S. students, and the business brought before the convention was interesting and important. Among other things, a well-known debater from Stanford University addressed the meeting in behalf of his college. To encourage forensic talent among high school students, and to make the contests more exciting and interesting, he announced that Stanford offered a cup to the debating society that should win the championship three times. Xow, we of the class of ' 00, have entered too late for the contest, so we rely upon you, future members of the Ecclesia, to win laurels for our dear B. H. S. Bring the cup home in triumph, and then, when our new high school is a substantial reality of the present, it may be placed in its spacious halls, among the first of the tokens of honor. The members of the graduating class extend hearty greetings to the Ecclesia girls of the classes of ' 01 and ' 02 and those that are still to come. May the society be as enjoyable and helpful to you in the future as it has been to us in the past. DAHLIA T. SPENCER, ' 00. 5° LUttfil 5)OCIATiOh On the evening of April 12th, pursuant to a call for the annual election of the officers of the Berkeley High School Alumni Association, a meeting of that organization was held in the assembly rooms of the Berkeley High School. The election, which was unanimous in the case of each nominee, resulted as follows : President, Harry H. Johnson ; vice-president, Minot Scott ; secre- tary, Miss Katherine Keys ; treasurer, Charles Dozier. During the evening the alumni were addressed by Superintendent of Schools S. D. Waterman, and Principal M. C. James. They imparted sincere words of advice, which were intently listened to. The latter portion of the hour was devoted to an informal chat, the renewal of acquaintances formed during High School days, and a musical program. It may perhaps be inapropos in this resume ol alumni proceedings to comment upon its activities, or rather lack of them. It is imperative, however, that some word be said relative to the half-hearted attitude of the members toward their association. A sort of desultory inertia seems to characterize the actions of most of us. There may be good and sufficient reasons why the graduates have not the inclination to do earne st work on behalf of their society. Perhaps the cause may be laid to outside influences. Of the latter, let us consider. The records of the University of California show that a larger number of students enroll from the Berkeley High School than from any other preparatory organization in the State. This would tend to prove that university influence is very great over the Berkeley schools — so great, in fact, as to almost absorb all the attention of the individual after his graduation. Here a defensive point may be raised. There are those who believe that when a student enters an institution to obtain a higher education, he should drop all con- nection with the institution which gave him early academic training. The decision given this question by the Berkeley High School Alumnus must also decide the fate of the graduate organization. The failure of the alumni this year to tender the usual reception to the graduating class is deplorable, but is due directly to the lack of interest in the association. The newly elected officers tried their best to carry the dance through, but utterly failed. Those who were called upon for a small pittance as dues did not in the main respond. Whether or not the Berkeley High School Alumni Association is to sink into oblivion in the near future, is a matter that rests entirely with the hundreds of gradu- ates of the school. herschel h. macdonald, b. h. s., ' 98. 5 1 Hlpba Sigma Sorority Beta Chapter, Established December, 1894 Alpha— Oakland High School Beta — Berkeley High School Gamma — Girls ' High School, San Francisco Delta — Boys ' High School, San Francisco Epsilon — Sacramento High School CHAPTER ROLL Class of 1900 Estelle Brown Hilma Jones Matie Leonard Ava E.

H. S. for the season of 1899, I will give a short summary of the games and the players : Our first game was played with the St. Matthew ' s team, on their grounds, the score being 6-0, in their favor. After several intervening games with Peralta Hall and Boone ' s Academy we lined up against the C. S. M. A. on the U. C. campus. So evenly were the two teams matched that neither side was able to score. Our first league game we won from Santa Rosa by default. We next played the U. C. Freshmen, on the cam- pus, in which we were defeated by 10-0. This score says a good deal for us when we consider that this same team held down the Stanford Freshmen to one touch-down. Our next, and to us most important, game was played on October 20th, against the O. H. S. team. In this game we completely outclassed our opponents. Not once was our goal in danger. Clean playing was a feature of the game on both sides. The score, 11-0, with Berkeley High on the big end, shows what we did. While speaking of this game it gives me pleasure to mention the excellent support of the student body. The students realized that we needed help to win and they freely lent their lungs to that purpose. After only one day ' s rest our team, sore from the effects of the Oakland game, lined up against the Centerville team, the ultimate champions of the A. A. L., to play the championship game of our sub-league. We were defeated by 16-0. Our last game was played with Stockton High, the score being 0-0. As regards the players it can be said that in individual spirit and dash they lacked nothing. Hoffman and Abbott held down the ends very creditably, both to them- selves and their school. For two new men it would be hard to beat Spencer and Pond, at tackle. Haas and Plummer, as guards, gave strong support to Macoy, at cen- ter. Behind the line we had Skinner, at quarter, whose work is too well known to need comment. Wells and Lyon held down left and right half, respectively, and seldom did either fail to gain ground. Volz played full-back. The skill and able management of Sam Eastman brought the team financially ahead. Before going fur- ther, near the end of the football season a serious accident befell our team, in that Elliott, our center, had his leg broken in a practice game with Boone ' s team. This misfortune crippled the team somewhat, but an able successor to Elliott was found in Macoy. The accompanying picture also contains, as mascot, Mr. Woodbury, pris- oner of war with Lieutenant Gilmore in the Philippines. Of these players all go out except center, one guard and one tackle, and full-back, but we have with us again Gene Parker, our star tackle of ' 98, besides plenty of new material from which to draw. Our prospects for next year are brighter than they have been for several years. With a hope of accomplishing something on the gridiron in the fall of 1900, I close this chapter of our history. CHAS. R. VOLZ, CAPTAIN. 56 57 After our successful season in track athletics, in the spring of ' 99, when we beat Oakland, and won second place in the A. A. L., the Berkeley High School looked for great achievements and glory to be won by the Seniors of 1900. Disappointment awaited us, however. In the Field-Day of October, ' 99, our team was not so good as those of Oakland or Ukiah, and we had to accept third place with a score of twenty- I four points. On this field Irwin and Volz won first places in the pole vault and shot-put, respectively ; Kruschke and McKee were seconds in the low hurdle and mile walk ; while third places were taken in the low hurdles by Irwin, and in the mile run by Dobbins. Oakland beat us in the relay, but we came in a close second. If we did not win many victories at this time, the day brought us a triumph of which we were deservedly proud, and that was Irwin ' s achievement when he broke the A. A. L. record in the pole vault, and established a new one at 10.6 . Throughout this Field-Day we felt keenly the loss of Woods and Girvin, of our spring team of ' 99 ; but still more were we crippled in the following spring without Irwin. In this Field-Day, the B. H. S. was badly beaten, coming out fifth. The reason for this is not hard to find, however, since it was due to the lack of enthu- siasm and spirit manifested by the High School boys in refusing to come out on the track. In this meet we won only seven points, four in the low hurdles, by Kruschke and Hartley ; one in the shot-put, by Volz ; and two in the relay. But enough of our disasters in the A. A. L. In a Field-Day of the Bay County League, composed of Oakland, Lowell, Polytechnic, Central, and Berkeley High Schools, we took second place with a score little behind that of Oakland. For this Field-Day, thirty -five of our boys came out on the track. If we but show this same enthusiasm for the next A. A. L. meets, our endeavors will surely be crowned with success. j. h. hartley. (Written for my lazy brother.) 58 59 Baseball T IS not with the keenest of pleasure that we offer this article about baseball. There is a queer feeling around our hearts 4 and a foggy expression on our countenances when we glance at the picture of the baseball team. We wore the same sheepish look on our faces on April 23d, when the laurels were lost to Central High. Oh, that game ! After defeating them three times and then to let them win ! Yet we are not ashamed, as the score was far from being a disgraceful one. They can boast of but four runs to our two. and we undoubtedly played the better game in even,- respect, except that we were weak at batting. Look at the score-book and you will find that Central made more errors, fewer good plays, less hits, and that their pitcher struck out less men than ours. Thev were fortunate, that is all. Nevertheless we tender them our hearty congratulations, and acknowledge a defeat by the only team we cared to see •u in in this league if we did not. There have been some neat little scores in Berkeley ' s favor this season. The Stockton game was well worthy of praise. Our team has been the only one in the league to defeat the Stockton boys. Tust notice these scores, will you? B. H. S., 15. C. H. S., 5 : B. H. S., 11, C. H. S., 10 : B. H. S., 8, C. H. S., 7 : B. H. S., 9, S. H. S.. 7 : B. H. S., 13. P. S., 4. Those are not so bad, are they? There would not have been much honor in winning that game with O. H. S.. but we lost an easy chance to win the championship bv a little too much overconhdence in our ability. It is a difficult thing to pick out the winners of a baseball game before it is played. A few errors or an accidental hit may decide in favor of the poorer team. There is not a better pitcher in the league than Plumber, and Dick Boettiger is the best man, both behind and at the bat, that Berkeley High ever had. The infielders did some remarkably fine playing. All those who have played us acknowl- edge that our infield was superior to theirs. Oscar Boetteger, Eastman and Monson are a trio of outfielders that deserve more than what praise can be given here. Tufts played some good games and made an excellent substitute. Hartley ' s position was second base : Jones held third, Kruschke first, and Captain Abbott short-stop. We wish to sav here that Mr. Abbott has won the admiration ot manv for having- so well directed the team through the season. Finley Eastman deserves special mention here for the able manner in which he has managed our baseball team, ever contending against odds. Due to the efforts of our principal, Mr. James, athletic finances in the future will be better provided tor than in the past, thus freeing the future managers from many of the difficulties which have heretofore had to be overcome. Many of this year ' s baseball players will graduate, but a new lot will come in from the ninth grade. So these players, together with the old ones, will doubtless get up a good team. Then, here ' s to their success. May they be more fortunate than we were. e. kruschke, ' 00. 6o 6i Court of errors Miss McBride Class of 1901 Miss Eggleston Chas.

C track on May 19th. It was a field-day notable for the quick- ness with which the events were run off, under the good management of our old friend Brick. The first contest of the day was the race between presidents. As usual, the race for presidency was closely contested and very exciting. Fozard (Senior), Adams (A. S. B. H. S.), Miller (Middle), and Clark (Ninth Grade, last in class but first in the race), partook in this event. Considerable discussion arose between the starter, Mr. Powell, and our friend Adams, the latter claiming that Adams ' race was not started by a pistol. They ' re off ! and «tmwm i eiB s-j Clark finishes first, with Fozard a very close second, but Miller and Adams complained that they were left so far behind that they did not even see the finish. The next events deserve special mention, as good records were made in each. These were the shot-put of 46 feet yi inches, by Volz; the 440-yard dash in 54 seconds, by J. Hartley; and the half-mile in 2:11, by Dobbins. After these the faculty came forth to hurl the sphere with mighty hands. The others thought they had a cinch on the faculty that day, but on the next they were in turn cinched by the faculty. Mr. Clark, being used to the handling of the sphere, put it out on a plane beyond the reach of all the athletes of Vergil, as represented by Principal James. In the carrying race it was a sight to see how the Lyon be- came the beast of burden, and carried Beelzebub Duff across the line. But he finished last, after laboring for a long time under a weighty matter. Our old war-horse, Volz, won this race, spurred on by the renowned baseball player, Boetteger, but was closely followed by the Senior Prex, who was borne down by the editorial section of the Olla Pod. The sack race was characterized by a Yump, yump, yump, until Skinner finally rolled out from the dark sack, which had been lit up by the radiance of his hair, and claimed that he had won the race. In the slow bike race, Mr. Clark, who has long dwelt upon the theoretical side of the circles, fell from the practical circles of rubber, and was beaten by Dobbins, who received a cinch for the same in his math, course the following day. Lathrop, the Spaniard, beat Chinaman Farmer Wells in the international race. Wells in this race expected to win, since he had trained so long in the art of digging-out ahead. The race of the four hundred aggregate of kids resembled a flock of sheep going around the track. Brick Harper carried the honors in this race, and received a dime, frequent sound of Duff ' s voice in announcing. As is customary, he made many mistakes, usually giving the race to the last man, because he sympathized with all people like himself who got beaten . J One of the features of the day was the 6 4 • Some Brilliant Remarks Miss Wilson (in Senior History).— One of the advantages of the North in the Civil War was that since they were attacking from the outside, whenever the South got after them they could run and the South wouldn ' t know where they went to.

Kruschke. — Oh, just trying to find the tone of my photograph. Spencer. — No wonder you have been trying a long time. Your picture is too loud for that fork. Kruschke. — No, it isn ' t ; Mr. Wilcox just toned it up yesterday. Mr. Hackley. — Where is most of the public land at the present time ? Miss Arbulich (with a bright smile). — In the country. Queries Why wouldn ' t Cheney treat the girls who voted for him to ice-cream down at Mason ' s after the election ? Did the two Junior Willies and Vic succeed in catching that Belgian hare in the U. C. grounds on the night of May 16th ? What became of Wells ' curls after their first appearance ? Who was it that took so many B. H. S. girls to Mason ' s last month that he had to charter an extra table ? What chemical action would result upon rubbing together two High School bricks — Linscott and Kennedy ? Did McKee and Brehm enjoy that ice-cream on the lawn in front of Miss Head ' s Seminary? Was Cavalier ' s arm really dislocated (out of place) on the day of the Inter- Class Field Day? 65 first field-Day of the Bay Htbletk League N May 5th athletes from Oakland, Berkeley, Lowell, Polytechnic, and Central High Schools, the five schools which form the Bay League, competed on the L . C. cinder track. This field-day was one to bring out new athletes who have heretofore not entered the A. A. L. track contests. Oakland won the day but was closely seconded by Berkeley High. Oak- land scored 62, Berkeley 49, Lowell 14, Polytechnic 10, and Central High School 3. Ligda showed up fairly well in the 50 and 100-yard dashes, but he was not in it when he came against our old stand-by Yolz in the shot-put. Oakland was very hopeful and thought that Berkeley would go down before them in this event until Yolz put the shot 46 feet, 1 inch, against 45 feet, 5 4 inches. This record beats that of the A. A. L. held by Woodrun of O. H. S. , but will not stand as a new mark since it was not made in an official academic field-day. Yolz has one more A. A. L. field-day to go in, entered the home- however, and we are confident that he will then add an A. A. L. record to the B. H. S. The two-mile race was a new event in the field-day and was closelv contested by Westdahl, O. H. S., Dobbins, B. H. S., and Clough, O.H.S. On the home-stretch however, Westdahl passed Dobbins by a few feet and won, Dobbins second. The 440 was very exciting from the be- ginning-. Osborne of Polytechnic made the running from the start and held a lead of ten yards for three-fourths of the race. As the racers the second lap, and Nelson, will undoubtedly be the coming athletes of the High School, as each made a fine showing. The two Hartleys and Kruschke retained their records as lap runners. The last lap was taken by Boettiger, who made a phenomenal run. When he started the Lowell man was fully forty feet ahead of him, but he soon killed him on the back-stretch, and when near the finish Boettiger passed his opponent and beat him in about two yards. This lap was run in about 37 4-5 sec. Another person who needs special mention here is Don Hickey, a Junior, who, afte: only training for two days, jumped 5 feet, 3}4 inches. Undoubtedly by the time he becomes a Senior he will be the equal of Henley of Ukiah. This field-day showed who some of the athletes are in the B. H. S. , and what they can do, and certainly proved beneficial to them. J. F., ' 00. stretch Joe Hartley spurted from the rear of his field and pass- ing both the other men on the finish, came in first. The relay race, generally the most exciting event of the High School field- days, was won by Berkeley, with Low- ell second. Asbill, the crack sprinter from Lowell, had all he wanted to beat out Nelson in the first short lap. It was not only a surprise to us but a greater sur- prise to him. Even after fouling Nelson he only beat him in by a couple of feet. Ambrose, who ran 66 August 8.— School begins ; everybody delighted, of course.

Waiting Room, Lorin Station RUBBER The other night some Oakland boys Thought they would have some fun ; They painted on our old school fence Scores that they had not won. An O. H. S- was on the fence And on the cement sidewalk. They thought to show it to some girls — But there had been some side talk. Amongst our Berkeley High School boys Were some, who seeing the blue, Thought to change it to crimson and gold Was the best thing they could do. And when some Oakland High School boys Came out with their pretty girls, All dressed up in their Sunday best, And their hair still in paper curls, They saw a great big B. H. S. Stand out in flaming red. The girls did jeer the little boys And sent them on ahead ; The boys went home by the Grove Street car The girls by Telegraph, And everyone will now agree That Berkeley claims the laugh.

The next evening, of course, Willie went to call. Matters progressed fairly, with but slight evidences of boredom on the part of the two girls, until ten o ' clock, when yawns and sighs began to give place to delicate hints. McCleave, however, was evidently enjoying himself, and gave no sign of a desire to depart. The hints became louder and more numerous. Still no effect. At 10:30 a servant brought in, and deposited on the mantel-piece, an extra-size alarm- clock, guaranteed to ring ten minutes at a stretch, and billed to go off in half an hour. But to the serene William such experiences are an old story, and the incident made no impression. Willie had now held exclusive possession of the floor for over half an hour, and he was drinking deep of the pleasure of hearing himself talk. At eleven sharp the clock began to speak its mind in stirring accents. Anyone else would have left hur- riedly by the nearest window, but McCleave merely raised his voice, moved nearer to his disinterested auditors, and continued his discourse. As the last notes of the alarm died away, the night-capped head of the amiable Miss Foote was thrust into the room, and the one syllable ejaculated : Git ! And McCleave at last saw the point. 82 •ft i April 18.— 11:45 a. m. Miss Farrell, Miss Jones and Miss Earle make a sudden raid upon the editorial sanctum to intercept certain rumored joshes.
