Greeting from ' 02 To Our Teachers and Classmates: For the last time we have assembled together ; some of us will still keep in touch with each other, and with our dear High School ; some will, of necessity, journey to other lands and continue our courses in higher depart- ments of study : but none of us will forget the hours we have spent together as we made the tedious journey through the Vales of Learning — none remem- ber without a sigh the close friendships we have formed — friendships destined to become only tender memories, through the harsh dictates of duty and necessity. Again we meet — let us enjoy ourselves, for it will soon be over. All our friends are here — greet them well, for years will pass ere we may again clasp hands with them. And our teachers. We remember them now for their patient, kindly guidance, for their deep, friendly interest, for their gentle correction. May we ever have Teachers as gentle, wise, kind and patient through all the years that we must spend in the School of Life! One last Farewell ! Those we leave behind us, those from whom we part — forever, perhaps, those who may still remain with us. are all equally dear. The best and kindest wishes be with vou all — with us all ! Farewell ! Jl etit cat ten TO OUR FRIEND AND VICE-PRINCIPAL meTTgn % (Elark who has always shown, a kindly interest in us and in all our endeavors THIS ANNUAL IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE CLASS OF 1902 TOelbn 13. Clark Wellyn B. Clark, our Vice-Principal, is a graduate of Cornell Uni- versity. After completing his work in that institution,, he came to California, and attended the University of Stanford, graduating in 1895 with the degree of M. A. In 1898 Mr. Clark was made instructor of Mathematics in the Berkeley High School, and has been with us ever since. His thorough knowledge of his subject, his patient, helpful way of hand- ling his classes, and the interest he has always shown in school affairs, have made him a general favorite. Mr. Clark enters into the spirit of his younger pupils, and has become their friend, as well as their teacher. He has also taken a lively interest in all of our athletic teams. When there is a field-day or a baseball game, he is always there, with as much enthusiasm as anyone. In fact, he has even played, with another of the Faculty, against our tennis team to give them practice for the A. A. L. Tournament. And it was very good practice for them, be it said. We hope that Mr. Clark will long remain with us, to help us in our studies, to encourage us in every endeavor we may undertake, and to be, as he is now, our dear, sincere friend. TOlliatn (T.

He joined the Union Army as a volunteer in the Civil War, serving in the Third Mas- sachusetts Regiment, under Burnsides. After the war Mr. Waterman became Principal of the Louisville High School for three vears, and then resigned to become Superintendent of Schools for Greencastle, Indiana. In 1870 he married, came to California and settled in Stockton, where he took a prominent part in school affairs for the next twenty years. In 1899 Mr. Waterman was elected Superintedent of Schools in Berke- ley, and has held the office ever since. Morris C. James is a native of Kentucky. After preparing himself at home, he entered Vanderbilt University, where he studied for two years. He then completed his college course with three years ' work at John Hopkins ' University, graduating with a Bachelor ' s de- gree. Mr. James then came to Cal- ifornia, and taught Latin and Greek in the San Bernardino High School for two vears. After coming to Berkeley, he became a teacher of Latin and Greek in our school. He was elected Vice-Principal, and later, in 1899, when Mr. Waterman re- signed to become Superintendent of Schools, he became our Prin- cipal. 10 Miss Fanny W. McLean, teacher of English and head of the English depart- ment, is a native of San Francisco. In 1 88 1 she graduated from the Oakland High School, and in 1885 from the Uni- versity of California, taking the degree of Bachelor of Letters. After teaching for a year in Los Angeles, she became teacher of English in the Berkeley High School in 1886. Miss McLean is thoroughly con- versant with the English classics, and is a most competent instructor. Miss Annie C. Edmonds, Ph. B., is a graduate of the University of California. She became one of our Faculty fifteen years ago, and has been teaching ever since until last year, when she secured a leave of absence to make a tour of Europe. Miss Edmonds has taught the Sciences, Math- ematics, and German, in our school, and has proven herself a most efficient teacher in everything ' she has undertaken. We hope to have her with us again soon. Miss Eva V. Carlin, our teacher of Junior and Middle History, secured her present position in 1897. She has been connected with the schools of Berkeley for twenty years. A more thorough and com- petent teacher of History could not be found. Miss Carlin has the rare ability to make the subject, whatever it is, interest- ing, and to find wholesome truths in a col- lection of dry facts. 1 1 I T. Sidney Elstox was born in Wood- land. He attended the Hesperian College there, graduating in 1892. After three years ' work as a bookkeeper, he entered the University of California, taking a .course in Natural Science. He taught one year in the San Diego High School, and, in 1900, came to Berkeley High School. He has shown himself a thorough, hard- working Physics teacher, and has many friends in our school. Miss Gearhart was born in Illinois. After attending Independence High School. Iowa, she came to California and graduated from the Los Angeles Normal School in 1891. She also attended Brook- lyn Art School, and. after graduating from there, taught in Pasadena and other cities. She became a member of our Faculty in 1900. She is a model Art teacher, and has great success with her pupils. William A. Hackley is a native of San Francisco. He received his prepara- tory education in our own High School, from which he graduated in 1895. After graduating from the University in 1899. he was given the position of instructor in Senior History and Civil Government. Mr. Hackley is thoroughly acquainted with his subject, and is most successful in lend- ing his knowledge to others. 12 Professor E. B. Lamare, teacher of French, has been in Berkeley High School since 1894. He is a native of France. He is a graduate of Haffreingue College, in Bonlogne-ser-mer. He served in the French army during the Franco-Prussian war, Mr. Lemare has taught in six differ- ent schools in California, Berkeley High School being the last. Mrs. Stone was born in Baker City, Oregon. She prepared fur college at Sturges Academy, San Bernardino, and graduated in 1899, having taken the Social Science course. She secured the position of instructor in English and Latin, after grad- uating from college, at the Berkeley High School, and has been with us ever since, and has shown herself a capable teacher. Roy Young was born in Missouri. He came to California and entered the Los Angeles Normal, graduating in 1892. He has since taught in Orange county, and in Merced, in which school he was Vice-Prin- cipal. He has taught Chemistry in Berke- ley since 1900, and is very successful in his teaching. His interest shown in all the school affairs has made him a warm friend of the student body. 13 Miss Helena W. Curtis was born in Grass Valley. After passing- through the High School there with the class of 1891, she came to Berkeley, and attended the University, graduating in 1895. Miss Curtis has since taught in Fresno for two years, and in the Ninth Grade since Christ- mas, 1898. Last August she became a member of our Faculty, and has established a good record as an English teacher, besides win- ning - for herself man} friends among her pupils. Miss Roller is a graduate of our own High School, of the Class of 1891. She was born in San Francisco, but came to Berkeley to study. In 1898 she finished her course in the University, and since then has been teaching in Berkeley schools. Miss Roller has been with us since last Christmas, and, in that short time, has made a good reputation as a teacher. William Alexander is a native of Ottawa, Province of Ontario. Canada. He graduated from the Ottawa High School, and then attended the University of Toronto, from which he graduated in the class of 1899. He became a graduate student in the University of California, taking a two- years ' course, and finishing his studies in 1 901. Since then he has been our Latin and Greek teacher, and has made a success of his classes. 14 Miss Holling was born in San Francisco, where she attended the Girls ' High School, graduating in 1895. She then continued her studies in the Uni- versity, from which she graduated with the class of 1899. After teaching in Colusa county for two years in the English, Botanical, Algebra and German departments, Miss Holling came to our school, where she has taught German and English classes since last term. Miss Frank was born in San Francisco. She attended the Lowell High School, graduating in 1894, and from the University in 1898. After finishing her studies in college, she taught in the Lorin school for two years. Since last August, when she became a member of our Faculty, she has been teaching Mathematics in the Berkeley High School. Miss Mary B. Clayes, instructor in Latin and Greek, has been teaching in our High School for nine years, and has had a very successful career as a teacher. She received her early education in San Francisco, and graduated from the University in 1894 with the degree of M. A. 15 Education in the Preparatory Schools There are two kinds of preparatory schools — the public High School and the private school. There are City, County and District High Schools, but these do not derive a cent of support from the State but must be supported by a direct tax upon the property of the city, county, or High School District. An amendment to the State Constitution was passed by the last Legislature and will be submitted to the people at the State election this fall, providing for some revenue for the support of the High School from the State school tax. The accrediting system by which graduates of approved schools may be admitted to the University without examination, on the recommendation of the principal, has served a double purpose : it has developed a strong sentiment in favor of secondary and higher education throughout the State, and as a result of this. High Schools have increased in number and the Universities have been the gainers in a large increase in the number of students. Having served this double purpose, we think that the present system has outlived its usefulness. It would be better to discontinue it for a time. or. at least, to fur- ther improve the plan of examining by the University authorities. The pres- ent plan, which has been carried out since President Wheeler took the control of affairs, has been more satisfactory than the old method, as far as the schools are concerned. Until the last two years, the work of examining has been done by repre- sentatives of the different departments — specialists, who ' size up a school according to its proficiency in their own departments. Then, again, the teach- ers in the High School are specialists, and each one feels that there must be no discrediting in his or her department, and the result has been that the pupils have had entirely too much to do, if it is to be done thoroughly. It would be better to entrust the examination of the schools to one man — an all-round thoroughly informed man. who could, by reason of his experi- ence, look at the situation from the standpoint of the schools as well as from the University standpoint — better still, to require all applicants for admission to pass the same entrance examinations. The examination questions could be furnished to each school, something after the manner adopted by the State Board of Regents of Xew York. As it is now. there is a pressure which is felt by students and teachers alike which is disastrous to effective teaching and effective study. If every applicant for admission to the Universities had to stand or fall upon his own merits, instead of relying upon the kindness of his principal for recommenda- tions, we should have more thorough work in our schools, better attendance. 16 less cutting, a more serious atmosphere prevailing in the school work, and a more careful attention to the school schedule. With our school, there is no question about the studies required. Fr om our position in Berkeley, the High School must be, essentially, a preparatory school, and our course of study must be arranged in such a way as to prepare students for every department in the University. There should be a course, equally thorough and more efficient if possible, arranged for those whose real work as students must end with the High School. This course should comprise certain specified studies with a large number of electives so that the best possible course could be arranged for each individual case. Of course, no principal is compelled to ask for the accrediting of his school, but as long as the system is in vogue, it will be the ambition of all communities to have their schools on the accredited list. If the University authorities would discontinue the accrediting of schools for a time, or if the principals of the leading preparatory schools would unite in not asking for accrediting, I am sure that the effect in either case would be, better scholarship of the individual, better attendance, a more complete sense of self-reliance on the part of every student, and, from these, a healthier and more vigorous moral tone in the entire school.

The scenes of my High School days. I ' ll see all the fair, youthful faces, My schoolmates of days gone by; I ' ll see in the firelight ' s picture My days at the Berkeley High. And as the fire grows brighter. And the deep shadows dance on the wall, It will bring back the days to my memory, My B. H. S. days most of all. The fire has gone, and the shadows Hang gloomily around the chill room, And the last fading spark seeks its comrade, And leaves me alone in its gloom. Why think of the mysteries of fortune? Why mourn on the deeds of the past? Just live, be gay, in the present. Old age, gray hairs, come too fast. A. E. W.. 04. 17 Letters from Mexico. BY ELIZABETH SYLE. HE Da) ' of San Giovanni di Fidanga St. Buenaventure 1783, and great had been the rejoicing of the holy brothers, from Father Estinaga to the last neophyte, as they lit all the tapers in the little church and wafted prayers and incense to the saint whose patronage had blessed the first year of their mission ' s life. A large gathering had witnessed the ceremonies. The comandante and a detachment of soldiers had come with the band of grey-robed Franciscans from Santa Barbara to assist at the mass, while the Spanish ranchers, with their wives and daughters, and the Indian converts, on their wiry little ponies, had crossed miles of mountain or sage- grown valley or white, glaring beach to celebrate with the Padres. Yes it had been a tiring day for Father Estenaga, and now he was pacing beneath the shadow of the Mission colonnade to enjoy the cool of the evening and his own pleasant reflections. They were pleasant, because he had been encouraged by the comandante in his favorite dream of building another and a greater Mission just beyond his present one, to be a link in the chain of Mis- sions that Junipero Serra was stretching along the coast of buena California. If, in his dreams, the good Padre saw himself shepherd of this larger fold, who should blame him ? Though all the Franciscans were sworn to humility and self-abnegation, still some among them must be leaders and Priors — it was the cruel law of this life — why, then, should not Estenaga be one of the sufferers? He would soon receive an answer to his letter to the Holy Bishop of Mexico which would decide his fate, and, if he was called, he would cheer- fully sacrifice himself for the Church. He bent his head meekly and told his beads as he walked on. and. in all sincerity, never dreamed that a seed of Worldly Ambition had taken root in his pious heart. At a turn in the path, he came upon a young monk who had flung himself down on the grass with his head buried in his crossed arms. Are you meditating, my son? said the Padre. It is an hour for peace- ful and holy thoughts, as I have found. The monk instantly rose, bowed before the Padre and turned to go. but. even in the gathering twilight. Estenaga caught the unusual expression of his face, where a dull flush betokened a passionate rather than an exalted mood. Come and walk with me. my son, said the old priest, and tell me — you are not at peace with yourself tonight? 1 18 No, Father, yon are right. When the soldiers and the ranchers and — and the senoritas come here, it reminds me of the old life, and I am net myself. So, the old story comes back and yon do not drive it from you! said the Padre, severely. There was a silence, broken only by the young man ' s snapping twigs in his nervous fingers as he stood with downcast eyes before his judge. At last he broke out : No, Father, I cannot ; I ' ve tried and I can- not. I met Don Jose today with — with the Donna. He knew me, and tri- umphed over me — I saw it ! My son, you allow the memory of that old struggle, defeat and disap- pointment to rankle still. It was a scourge to drive you to repentance and works for the Church, but you cherish it as a sword-cut to the bone. And this is a grievous sin. I know, I know, but you never saw Senorita Inez. You never felt the injustice of it all. You don ' t know and you can ' t understand. Son! said the Padre, halting and raising an admonishing hand. To the confessional! Shall I reply with soft words to your lamentations? They are rebellious against the laws of the Saints ! Never let these names cross your lips again. Nothing but fasting and penance can wipe these memories from a sinful heart. You must endure the rod — nay, your pride must kiss it when it smites. I will come to your cell in the morning to speak further with you, but now, begone! The monk turned silently back to the Mission, while the Padre walked on, majestic in his holy anger and pious grief. , But he was soon interrupted by no less a person than the messenger from Mexico with letters for Padre Estenaga. A gleam of pleasure, even of triumph shot into his face as he carried the letters to his cell to read them in private. But when the brothers saw him again, that look was gone, and had left his face pale and lined. He conducted Vespers in a half-dazed way that set the brothers to whispering, Letters from Mexico, has he? Oh, from the Holy Bishop, eh ? What think you of the dear desire of our Padre ' s heart, brother? Say, rather, ' what thinks the Bishop? ' Early the next morning the Father knocked at the young monk ' s cell. When he had shut the door behind him, he held out his hands in silent blessing for a moment, then said abruptly : Brother, I have decided to send you on a journey for me to Santa Barbara. It will be easier for you nor to see some of our present guests, my child. T believe I was too harsh with you last night. But do not think I do not feel for you. I understand disappointment better than vou believe. I know of cases where men have deemed themselves worthy of too high honors in the Church, and the Saints have humiliated them before all the world. But we must endure bravely and cheerfully, as I told you in the garden last night. We must endure, and w T e will do so, to the honor of our Saint — is it not so, my child? But come, for you must make an early start. I 19 will go part of the journey with you that we may speak together of this ; per- haps I may be able to help you. brother. ' ' ' At the end of the Mission lands they parted. The Padre gave his com- panion his blessing before he turned slowly homeward, leaving the brother in wonderment at the softened voice and tender words of his Superior — in won- derment, for he knew nothing of the letters from Mexico. j£? jg? AN IDEAL. Who can find a virtuous woman? Asked the sage in days agone, She is clothed in strength and honor, And her lips with wisdom speak. Not by beauty ' s mark deceptive, Nor by favor ' s fond caress, Shall ye know her, when ye find her — She was ne ' er discovered thus. Vain is beauty, favor passing, And appearance counts for naught. By her works, then, ye shall know her, For they are with kindness fraught. Many wise men vainly seek her, Guided by the star of fame. Few have found her, few have met her, For she seeketh not a name. Strives she ever but for glory In a little world, her own; Has she made her loved ones happy — Has she found a chance to give To some lonely, heart-sore neighbor, Shelter, sympathy and love — Has she held the cup of comfort To the lips with anguish parched — Has she carried sunshine with her As she walked in duty ' s path — Then, when life ' s short span is over. And her helpful day is past. Thankfully she gazes upward. For her glory ' s come at last. Little reek ' s she that he r heart ' s blood Precious is as ruby ' s gleam, And that all men call her blessed — She hath done that which she could. Gentle, unassuming woman. Making glad this world of woe, Cast thy gracious mantle on me, For I would be blessed as thou! I would work, while day still lingers, In the harvest field of lives, Winning neither fame nor glory. But the coveted — well done! Grace Piatt, ' 03. 20 Wirel ess Telegraphy. VERYONE was in a whirl of bustle and preparation, for it was the day before Commencement. Seated on trunks, piles of books and miscellaneous articles of the feminine wardrobe, The Five were discussing- things. When one is packing to leave college, in one ' s Senior year, there is that strange mingling of melancholy and joyous exalta- tion, of pleasure and pain, that is only one of the many strange things in this world of ours. By a common, tacit consent, the subject of departure was avoided, and the girls chattered with a forced gayety of the coming Class Day affairs. And so it was quite natural that they should presently be discussing the hero of this story, Fred Powell. I just do hope that Fred will make a good speech tomorrow — I mean, deliver it well. Of course, he will have a lovely one prepared, said Mabel Wilson. Isn ' t it a pity, from Number Two, that he is so awfully bashful and sensitive? And yet, I ' m sure there ' s not a nicer fellow in college, or ever was. And if he breaks down, I shall feel worse than I did when all those dreadful Yale men jumped on him after he made that beautiful touch-down. I ' m glad they chose him for Valedictorian, though. He will look so grand and hand- some on the stage, don ' t you think so, Mildred ? Being thus directly appealed to, Mildred Tyrrell blushed, and faltered, in a confused way, that she thought he would. For what else could she say? Never mind, Mildred, we all know what he thinks of you, said Mabel, wickedly. And he ' ll tell you, too, some day, if he ever gets courage enough. Perhaps she was just a little bit jealous. Then Mildred, with cheeks a rosy red, flashed out: He ' s all right, and he lias got plenty of courage, and- — But the girls were having a fit, as they would have called it, and Fred ' s defender, seeing her mistake, grew more confused than ever. Whereupon, being kind-hearted girls, they considerately changed the subject, still holding, however, to their opinion of Powell. For which may he be properly grateful ! For there were not five nicer or more popular girls in college than those who had just rendered so favorable a verdict of him. Yes, Fred Powell was inordinately bashful — that could not be denied. He did not even attempt to deceive himself — in fact, he was most painfully con- scious of it. And what made this state of affairs the more pathetic was that he was the best-liked fellow in college, and. when with boys only, not a spark 21 of sensitiveness ever showed itself. He was then the jolly fellow, the famous right half, and the best fellow on the Campus. There was not a man in College who was not proud to be seen walking with him. and the girls — well, the girls all liked him. except that class of girls who never like bashful boys. And why shouldn ' t the} ' like him ? He was six feet two of handsome, well-proportioned man; he had a clear-cut Gibson face; and those few girls who had been so fortunate as to be able to form an opinion, declared that he had the most rapturously brown eyes. As though to compensate for his lack of self-confidence with the gentler sex. Powell on the gridiron was a perfect example of confidence, dash, and determination, and had, as the coach said, more grit than three average men. And yet, the fact remains that he was most painfully bashful — that queer mix- ture of extreme lack of self-confidence — it would be a misnomer to call it modesty — and deep sensitiveness, which is so rare in men, and so deplorable. There was one girl, however, whose rare tact and perfect understanding of his nature made him quite at his ease with her. And Mildred Tyrrell rightly considered herself well paid for her pains when he forgot his shyness, and talked. And when he talked — when he became really interested in the sub- ject — he showed such a thorough grasp of ideas, such originality in expressing them, and such an easy, flowing eloquence, that Mildred, woman-fashion, thought him a second Demosthenes, though she knew better than to tell him so. Their literary tastes were very much alike, and. when they had different opin- ions, it was a mutual pleasure for them to engage in a lively dispute. It will readilv be seen that, from this state of affairs, certain things were inevitable. Mildred was the only girl in college with whom he was at his ease, and the only one who understood him thoroughly. And so he naturally thought more of her than of the other girls. Then, she was so sensible, and good-looking — a rare combination. he told himself. As for Mildred — well. Fred was a thorough gentleman, in the first place, and handsome as Apollo, in the second. And these count for a great deah with a girl. Besides, he was a budding genius, she was sure. But. if actions speak louder than words, be it known that she once cut a date with Mr. William B. Turner because — well, because Fred was so sensitive that she hadn ' t the heart to refuse him. and, as for Mr. William B. Turner, he could stand it. There was one poem of Browning ' s which they both had gone into rap- tures over. Fred meant to surprise Mildred by quoting this bit of verse as a finishing touch to his oration. He meant to make a good speech — to surprise Mother — and Mildred. And he had spent so many hours over his work, that it really seemed that he could not become confused enough to make a mistak e. But he knew that it was pos- sible. More than once he had. in very despair and bitterness of heart, applied to himself the most scathing epithets for his weakness that keeps me from being a man, he told himself. The great reception hall was filled with Mammas and Papas, and Uncles. 22 and Aunts, who had come to see Willie and Alice get their diplomas. And then there were grey-haired Professors, and jolly Seniors, and pretty girls, and any amount of Undergraduates ; but then they don ' t count, at such a time — the Undergraduates, I mean. At last ! There was an expectant, breathless rustle as Frederick H. Pow- ell was introduced to his audience, and then a mighty roar of applause — applause from old men, from hard, sinewy hands, from daintily gloved ones, from hands faded and wrinkled, but as gentle as ever. When Fred stepped to the front of the stage, he saw at first only a blurred, wavering confusion of faces, and the roar of applause sounded in his ears like the sound of a distant waterfall. Then he glanced to the third row from the front, and, yes. there was Mother — Little Mother. She was sitting up very straight, and listening to the hand-clapping that was sweeter in her ears than any music. She was so proud of her boy ! And there, too, was his stern old father, trying not to look conscious. He must not disappoint them! He tried to find Mildred, but did not succeed, and then he made his bow, and began. He spoke of the eager, ambitious youth, who was just entering upon his college career. He told of the novel surroundings, the fascinating temptations, and the final triumph of character over them all. He dwelt with tender emo- tion on the tried and true friendships formed during the college year, and spoke feelingly of the time soon to come, when those who for four years had been forming friendships and associaions that would endure forever, must part from each other, and their thrice dear Alma Mater. He was speaking to Mildred, for. though he did not see her, he knew that she was there, somewhere. Perhaps it was just as well — for, as his eyes wan- dered over the audience in search of her, he held them all in his spell. It was the one thing necessary to perfect his delivery. And as he talked to them — not in high-flown, flowery language, but in simple, soulful, flowing eloquence, the old men leaned back in their seats and found that a flood of tender recollections had moistened their glasses ; the grey- haired Professors beamed approvingly over their spectacles; the jolly Seniors became grave and thoughtful ; the pretty girls forgot all about their own and the other girls ' dresses ; the Undergraduates gazed with a feeling of awe and reverence at this great man. — and wondered which one of them would, in a few years, be fitted to deliver such an oration ; the President drew a deep breath, and looked around with a satisfied air, as though to say : This is a product of our instruction, and am President ; the Little Mother gazed through a mist of happy tears at her boy ; the stern Papa, for the first time, realized that his boy was now a man. and understood him better than ever before ; and Mil- dred — where was she? Down in the audience, however, there was one man who did not experi- ence any tender emotions. And he was Mr. William B. Turner. To be sure, Mabel Wilson was a nice girl, and she looked prettier than usual today, but she was not as pretty as Mildred Tyrrell, and then, very few fellows like to 23 be told that She has made other arrangements — and then find out that her arrangements are to come by herself, for the sake of the Other Fellow. Now, Mabel knew that William B. Turner had asked Mildred first — don ' t ask me how — and she also knew that Mildred was very proud of her Fred; and so, when Mr. William B. Turner offered to bet her a French dinner that she couldn ' t rattle Fred Powell, she felt just wicked enough to take him up. Powell was making a magnificent speech, and, as he led up to the grand finale, he felt a new. strange confidence in his own powers surging through his- veins. He felt his power, and recognized it. He was quoting now from a poem which he and Mildred had read to- gether; he knew it would please her. Then something happened. Mabel, leaning forward as though to hear him better, dropped her fan with a clatter upon the bare floor. A sudden noise- in a still house always attracts the attention of a speaker. To Fred Powell, the clatter of the little fan seemed the roar of a battalion of modern artillery; it startled him so that he fell from his lofty pinnacle of poetic inspiration, and found himself in the horrible, prosaic present. He was addressing an audience again. Just then, as he instinctively glanced toward the place whence the dis- tracting sound came, he met the eyes of Mabel, fastened on his face with a look of the most ardent admiration. This was too much. His lips refused to perform their duty, his tongue grew parched, his knees quaked. Stage fright descended upon him like grim Death itself. Then he saw Mildred. Why, she was sitting just behind Mabel! As he met her glance, she gave him an encouraging look that held his attention. Then her lips began to move — they were pretty lips, but Fred was not thinking of them then ; his whole soul was intent on deciphering the silent message that they were framing. Mildred, too, knew the poem, and it was well for Fred ' that she did. As she shaped the words that were eluding his faltering tongue, he repeated them after her. The pause had been only momentary, and, by the majority of the audience, not noticed at all. And Mildred kept her own counsel. When Powell descended from the stage and tried to escape, his fond relatives captured him, and told him how proud of him they were, which Fred thought very unnecessary and very torturing. So he disappeared as soon as he could. The next morning Mildred had to leave college for home, and so she was- denied the pleasure of hearing from Fred ' s own lips how grateful he was. It was eight years afterwards. Again the hall was crowded — not the col- lege reception hall, but the great city hall — to hear the Hon. F. E. Powell. Senator from Iowa, speak upon The Constitutional Relations of Great Britain and the United States. ' Reporters drank in his words and scratched them off in shorthand. 24 The Hon. Powell did not need Mildred ' s help this time, though she was there. Of course she was. And Fred Powell saw her. Yes, it was a brilliant speech ; everybody said so. But it is a pity that the reporters could not have heard the second speech that Fred Powell made that •day. It was in the still moonlight, and his audience was limited — extremely limited — -and he spoke without preparation, unless the longing of ten years can be called preparation; and his topic was a very old one. But. in spite of all this, his second speech was by far his best effort in all his career as a speaker. At least, Mildred thinks so, and she should know. GEORGE WARREN. 25 FAREWELL TO THE SENIORS. The spring has come in all its splendid glory, With birds, and flowers, and happy joys untold; The spring that lives so ' oft in song and story, And brings us warmth in place of winter cold. It fills each heart with songs of great thanksgiving, It makes the old feel bright and young once more, It makes life really worth the task of living And makes our joys seem doubled twice fourscore. But though we ' re glad that spring has come to greet us,. We ' re sorry for one thing, and that you know — The Senior Class is going now to leave us. And from our hearts well wishes overflow. They ' ve studied now four years in Berkeley High School On Latin, French, Geometry and Greek, And now that they have mastered all these studies. Their fortune in the world they go to seek. We bid them all farewell from hearts of sorrow And wish success may follow them through life, For on that sad and fateful day, Tomorrow, They ' ll leave the school to walk the Way of Life. AT EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE. The world seems pleasant in our sight, The future teems with promise bright, We ' re ardent to engage With might and main in lusty strife And reap the benefits of life. At eighteen years of age. We wish the nations to surprise, And o ' er all other men to rise — In short, to be the rage; And sure we will never fail; If others do, we only rail, At eighteen years of age. We lay a mighty, mighty stress Upon the talents we possess And strongly wish to wage A mental war with everyone Who thinks that we can be outdone, At eighteen years of age. We ' re bound to show with tongue and pen That we can be the wisest men That move upon life ' s stage, And that we ' re competent to win The hardest struggles we get in. At eighteen years of age. 26 2 7 29 3 33 35 In tKe Public Eye.

We have tried, during the past year, to make the Olla Podrida a repre- sentative paper of our school, and the different literary departments have been chosen and maintained with that end in view. We realize that the paper has been very far from perfect, and that we have made many mistakes ; but we ask our critics to be as lenient as possible, and deal kindly with us. We wish here to thank those who have shown enough interest in our paper to extend us their sympathy and aid during the preceding year. The staff of the Olla Podrida have worked well and faithfully, and it is primarily to them that the credit of this issue is due. We also desire to acknowledge the kind assistance of the Faculty — especially of the English depart ment — both in procuring contributions, and in acting as judges and advisors. Through the strong backing of the business management, we have been able to put out a larger paper than usual, during the school year. This is entirely owing to the business ability of our manager, who had no assistants. This annual is the best that we are capable of putting forth. In estimating its worth, we ask you to remember that our time and resources are limited, and that it is our first endeavor. But if it shall serve, in after years, to recall to the recollection of the members of the Class of 1902 the pleasant and profitable hours they have spent in our school — if it shall revive pleasant memories, and preserve early friendships — then we shall feel that we have done our duty to our class and our school. 40 SENIOR OLjA s s 1 1 ' 1 N 02 ■ -A Johannesburg, May ist, 1987. Dear Friend : — When I received your letter telling me that you had un- dertaken to write the history of the class which graduated from the Berkeley High School in 1902, I said to myself that I did not envy you. On reading the postscript asking me to send any authentic information that I may have, I sat down immediately and commenced a letter, telling you it was hopeless to seek any data from me. As yesterday was a very stormy day, and I had no special work to do, I thought that I would rummage through the attic. During an excursion through an old trunk, I came upon a pile of very old letters, which had been written to my great-grandfather many years ago. On looking them through, I saw that many of them were written by old teachers of my grandfather. Reading them carefully, I found quite a number of references made to the Class of ' 02, B. H. S., the most important of which I have copied, and send you in this letter, with date of writing and name of writer. Aug. 15th, 1899. The new Junior Class is the bane of my life. They keep me busy from morning till night, showing them their rooms, and answering foolish ques- tions. Only one or two of the Boys are in long pants, and some even have not vet discarded their large white collars which come down over their shoul- ders. The class does not give the promise of being any great honor to the •school, although most of them will probably graduate. M. C. JAMES. Sept. 3rd, 1899. I must tell you about one o f the most amusing meetings I ever attended. The Juniors were going to hold their first class meeting, so I thought that I would go in to keep order, if necessary, and incidentally see how they ran their class. A fat little youngster by the name of Cavalier was chairman. After calling the meeting to order, he tried to make a speech, but became so tangled up that he had to quit. They then proceeded to the election of officers, the chairman asking one of his friends to make his motion. A tall, lanky fel- low rose and made a very flowery nominating speech which called forth rounds 4 ' of applause, but nobody thought of seconding it. This made no difference to the chairman; he went straight ahead, and finally declared that the officers were elected. They also donated a fine bust of Julius Caesar to the succeeding History Classes. This weighty matter occupied all their thoughts till vaca- tion. M. C. JAMES. Apr. 30, 1 90 1. You may be interested in knowing that the baseball team has won the championship of the A. A. L. This is the first time that it has been won by us since you pitched in ' 93. Most of the team are Middlers, so we ought to win next year. Plumber, captain, pitcher, and a Middler, is the best High School pitcher on the Coast, and is almost up to ' Varsity form. M. B. CLARK. May 10, 1 90 1. 1 have been coaching the debating team which went up against Oakland last week. Although we did not get the decision, we do not feel so very sore, since we won in argument, and our man, Chaplin, was given the prize as the best individual speaker. He won, firstly, because of his argument; secondly, because of his fine delivery; and thirdly, because of his conscientious hard work. We should win next year, since two of this year ' s team are Middlers and have had some experience, while two of Oakland ' s team leave. WM. A. HACKLEY. For the first time in a number of years, B. H. S. has won a field day. In a meet of the schools around the bay, Berkeley won by the narrow margin of one point. In a later field day one of our Seniors broke the American inter- scholastic record in the broad jump by covering 22 feet 6 1-2 inches of ground. We also have a high jumper who has done 5 feet 8 inches. Almost the entire team is composed of Seniors, so our prospects after they graduate are not very bright. R. J. YOUNG. Apr. 1, 1902. You remember what hard work it used to be for the manager of the Olla Pod. to make ends meet ? This year we have got a hustler, the same fellow I wrote you about that tried to make a speech. He can talk now, all right, if the amount he gets for ads is any indication. He is a second Hamilton in financial matters. The editor, by very hard work, has made the paper the best in a literary way that has ever been published. It is said to be the best H. S. paper in the State. I am sorry to say that I cannot find the name of the writer. I have one class in Physics composed entirely of boys. It is the best class 1 have ever had, or ever expect to have. It is Here the writing is so blurred that I cannot make it out. T. S. E. You may be interested in knowing that the senior class is going to stage 42 the play, She Stoops to Conquer which your class turned down. The choice of characters was left to me and the other English teachers, instead of being- elected by the class, as formerly. I think that the cast will give a production which will be of credit to the class. FANNY McLEAN. May 2, 1902. I was considerably mistaken in my estimate of the Junior class given while they were Juniors, for they have been the main-stay of the school in athletics for three years. The class, as a whole, is not above the average with regard to scholarship, but the boys far surpass any class I have ever graduated. The debating team, which has just been chosen, is composed of three Seniors, showing their superiority as talkers. I shall miss them when they leave, for although others will come, none can fill the place left vacant bv the Class of ' 02. • ' M. C.

E. 43 An aged seer was he, with haggard face, Emaciated form, and tottering pace. He spoke in solemn, wierd, and awful tones. That seemed to penetrate my very bones. And hast thou come to me, at this late hour, To learn the future by my magic power ? Know, then, the time of mystic art is past — Our sorceries and charms behind us cast. For we have learned that ' tis in vain to pry Into the tangled skein of Destiny. Nor can I now, by Magic ' s subtle art, Of the Beyond reveal the smallest part. But stay, O Prophet, or what ' er thou be. For I have stranger things to tell to thee. Denied of Magic ' s power, we sought to find. To subject Nature to the human mind. In Science, then, a solace we have found — We ' ve learned the secrets deep of Sight and Sound, Of Earth, and Air, and e ' en the Mighty Deep, And Stars and Moon that true their courses keep Through silent Space. Nor, learning, have forgot To trace indelible our learned thought In books that will forever live to be The wonder great of all humanity. The Seer paused, and took upon his knees A ponderous book, and opened to the E ' s. Know, Prophet, there live people in the stars. And here I see that yonder planet. Mars, Hath in this Earth an exact counterpart. Nay, start not, Prophet — ' tis not grisly art. 44 But Science, pure and simple. And each town In all this Earth, of great or less renown, Hath there in Mars another like itself, And eke hath judge, and clerk, and country elf. And there is e ' en — alas that it should be ! — In this same Mars, another just like thee. But, strange to say, in Mars ' fair. Heavenly clime. Full twenty years or more hath Father Time More of his course completed there than here — Methinks ' tis the position of the sphere. And so, O Prophet, thou must surely see, In yonder Mars thou ' lt find thy Prophecy. But how? I ventured, when the Seer frowned: So much of truth have we by study found. We deal in Theories. Nor do we try To navigate the regions of the sky. But thou shalt find, if I mistake me not, In Berkeley Town, who ' lt help thee in thy plot. And now, Farewell ! Success be to thy plans ! But thou must work with soul, and brain and hands. :j; J( sjc jjc i-c -c -c |c jc «c The great Inventor weighed it in his hand : For this much I will fly to foreign land.

And soon a shudder through the metal ran ; My faithful classmate thus his task began : BERT CHAPLIN has become a statesman great. As Senator from California State ; And HARRY SQUIRES, the muti-millionaire, Has won his place by means of talents rare. RALPH BROCK is here an actor great, whose fame, Is heralded as far as Shakespeare ' s name. 45 Miss JULIET BEN NET famous books doth write, Whose every word is hailed with great delight. WILL HENRY, too, is famous on the stage. The finest comic actor of the age. WILL ANDREWS is a writer of renown. His work has won a literary crown; And WILLIAM CAVALIER holds Crocker ' s job; By means of honeyed words he rules the mob. While musing on the days so long gone by, A large and handsome structure caught my eye. The Berk ' ley Tourist ' s Inn it proved to be. Its owner was my classmate ESTERLEY. From him I learned of many in the class. What time had done for many a lad and lass. Miss AMY ANAUS runs a sewing school. A model place, there neatness is the rule. PEARL LEI VIS is a suffragist of note. Who loudly claims that women ought to vote. FRED JOHN SON now hangs out a dentist ' s sign, His patrons say his work is very line. GRACE STOKES o ' er a large hospital holds sway, And with kind hand she charms disease away. And J ADA ROSS now owns a bak ' ry shop. By labor hard she ' s risen to the top. So much from Esterley I gladly learned, And my attention to a news-stand turned. The morning paper met my troubled gaze. And there I saw with wonder and amaze, That IDA HENLEY, Berkeley High ' s bright girl. Had just been married to an English Earl : SAMUEL HUME had mastered well his part And gained a lofty eminence in art. I looked again, and saw that LI ANNA ' S place Was in the court-room, where he won each case ; That OSCAR BOETTIGER had trained his voice. And made Italian opera his choice ; That DICK, his brother, sang a tenor sweet, And had the world of music at his feet. The advertisement pages then I scanned. Saw that LA GRANGE now kept a peanut stand ; 46 And that WILL GRIESCHE owned a butcher shop ; And WALTER RADFORD was a Berkeley cop : GEORGE POSEY kept a stationery store, Where papers, books, and such are sold galore. MISS DEXTER in the stenographic line. Does work her friends all say is very fine. LOUIS and DON, the Hickey boys renowned. Good paying jobs as drygoods clerks have found. MISS HARRIET SMYTHE succumbed to Cupid ' s dait, ' Twas one of her own class that won her heart. And LE ROY DARKE now keeps a large bookstore. His head is filled with literary lore : And RAYMOND POND is now a famous preacher, Whose name will rival that of H. Ward Beecher: Miss MABEL KNOLL, so winning in her way, A model school now rules with loving sway. Where pupils, all for love, her word obey. Miss IVY IOHNSON is a deaconess. Whose words and deeds the poor and suffering bless. Miss MILDRED CONGDON found her future home. In far-off Italy, in ancient Rome; While IRVING FRANK, doomed to be small forever. Is now in Emeryville, a jockey clever. Miss IDA FOSTER, in a patient tone. Replies to those who use the telephone ; While ESTHER BOWMAN ladies ' heads arrays, With hats deserving of the highest praise. The country had always had for LAMB a charm And now our CHESTER lives upon a farm ; And GOODMAN— MINOT is the one I mean— Upon the railroads may be often seen. As agent for an Eastern magazine. LEON A MORRIS is a poet rare. Her stately stanzas are beyond compare. Nor must Miss EDNA WILSON be forgot. To be a music teacher was her lot. 47 But ETHEL ENGLEBRETSEN, sad to say, Has changed her name and lives across the bay. And wouds ' t thou know of TUFTS, the dear LE ROY, le is the father of a bouncing- boy, While daughters many multiply his joy. And WM.

PERCY W. GIRVIN. 50 HE Middle Class, the Glorious Middle Class of Xaughty-Three ! The Berkeley High School is the Middle Class, and the Middle Class is the Berkeley High School. Of course, the other classes are necessary for a background to reflect the greater glory of ' 03. but they play a minor part in the greatness of the Berkeley High School. For a long while I had sat at my desk thinking - , thinking, thinking how to write the History of ' 03. As I was gazing at the lamp, something vague, indistinct, indescribable seemed to pass between me and the light. Impatiently I laughed at myself, thinking it was but an idle fancy of my imagination. But again it passed, and I could make out a dim. transparent shape, somewhat like a human being-. Held motionless by an irrepressible fear, I watched its weird, ghostly movements. All at once I was startled by a soft, sweet voice, saying : Do not be alarmed ; I am only here for good, and am quite harmless. Wha-what are you? I asked, in a rather shaky voice. I am one of the United Brotherhood of the Shades of Class Historians, replied the soft voice. Each year one of us shades is selected to keep the hist- tory of the most important High School Class. I happened to be chosen, and, of course, the Middle Class of the Berkeley High School is the most import- ant. Good for the Historian Shades ! I cried, my fears considerably abated, they know who ' s who. Yes. the choice of the class was unanimous, said the shade. I knew you were elected Class Historian, and. knowing of your inability to write it. I came to help you. for it is one of the oaths of the Brotherhood to help fellow Historians. I was the Historian of the Class of 1803 in Boston High School in its Middle year. I will be forever indebted to you if you will give me the history of the class of ' 03, I said to his shadeship. Very well. he replied, here is the history: From the time the Middle Class entered the Berkeley High School as Juniors, their path upward has been a path of glory. An ideal class, they lend a hand to everything which makes the fame of the Berkeley High School greater. In Athletics, the Middle Class is right there. The Naughty-Three Class has men in all the games, and they are crack men. too. In football. Dick Mc- 5i Questen as left end has a record for star playing both in his Junior and Middle years. Baseball! There ' s where the Middle Class holds her own and more be- sides. Look at ' Wink ' Farrar. our star pitcher, and Nelson, a star home- runner and shortstop. They are ' 03 men! The other star players from the Naughty-Three Class are Charley Monson. King Sweazy and Dick McQues- ten — all star fielders. On the track, the Middle Class graciously and kindly allowed the Class of ' 02 to take first place, for it seemed a shame to take all the honors. But next year the ' 03 Class will come out with two-fold energy to make up for it. Debating and writing are made famous through the Middle Class, for these are excelled in by the Class of ' 03. Large numbers of Middle Classmen are in the Forum, and Xewhall. McKelvey. Whitney and Sully are names fa- mous in oratorical combats. In writing, it is no use to say anything, for it is well known that the writers of the Berkeley High School are from the Middle Class. Last, but not least, the Class of Xaughty-Three has the prettiest and wittiest girls in school among its members. The leaders of every dance are ' swell ' Xaughty-Three girls. In the brightness and sociability of the Middle Class girls, it would be hard to find rivals in other classes. This is the history of the Middle Class, the one Middle Class ! In all these hundred years I have never seen a class so meritorious of praise as the Class of ' 03. Xeither I nor any other Shade dares to think of the great future of the Class of 03. With these words. I was left alone with only the memory of my shadv visitor. BERTHOLD F. HEWS. ' 03. 52 OW, it came to pass, in the land of the Berkeleyites, in the eighth month of the year naughty-naught, that a summons went out from the powers that be, that the multitude which were so qualified should assemble, even at Alston Way School, and be taught. And behold, so great a company appeared that the in- structors stood aghast, and consulted with one another, say- ing : Let us divide this multitude into tribes, and even so into four tribes divided they them. And the four tribes did league themselves together, and did choose representatives unto the most noble Olla Podrida, but the represent- atives of the tribes of Naughty-four, being in the flower of their youth, and their tribute to Olla Podrida being passing small, were not acknowledged by the same. And it came to pass in the sixth month of the year Naughty-one, on ac- count of the sore cries of the multitudes of Naughty-four, that the Board of Education did declare a truce from books for the space of eight weeks, and the multitude were exceedingly giad, and did leap for joy. But in the ninth month of the same year, an edict went forth from the King James of the land of Hischool that the tribes of Naughty-four should be gathered unto his land. But behold, when the multitude did gather unto his palace, the king was sore amazed because of their great number, and besought them to depart to their homes until his new palace should be completed. And the multitude departed, and were glad. And when the house of the king in land Hischool was finished, the tribes of Naughty-four did return, and the King James did give unto them a new name, even that of Juniors. And the multitude did dwell in the land of Hischool, and among their number did arise warriors in the game of football, heroes of the mighty track team, and debaters. And behold! in the fourth month, on the eighteenth day of the month of the year Naughty-two, Jhe Juniors did arise in their might, and did give a re- ception, yea, a dance, unto the tribes of the Middlers and Seniors of the land Hischool. And thus did the multitudes of Naughty-four set the generations to come an ensample worthy of the tribe of Juniors, the multitudes of Naughty- four. E. B. M , ' 04. 53 The Class of 1905. HE class of 1905. How musical is the name! What pleasant recollections it brings to our minds ! What an illustrious reputa- tion it has made for itself in this, its first year of High School! The building which we now occupy will crumble away; yea, in time it will be common dust; but the fame of the class of 1905 will never perish. Why, then, is our class not the most illus- trious that ever came into the School? A short review of some of its distinguished members will, I am sure, convince all who doubt the truth of these few opening statements. Soon after the Class entered, its ' members formed a society with the emi- nent Mr. Phillips as president. He conducted the well-attended meetings in the strictest parliamentary fashion, and excited the admiration and envy of many Seniors and Middlers. When his term of office was up, Sam Hanna took the presidential chair. Could they have selected a better man for the position? No! If Cicero him- self should come to life, and attempt to rule us, he could never beat Our Sam. We are all looking for the da}- when an Uncle will be prefixed to the Sam, and our class president will be President of the United States ! But pause. Can anything in this world be done without the help of the ladies ? If Adam found it impossible to manage the Garden of Eden without woman ' s aid. then how can we expect to advance our Society without the fair sex? Miss Ott, and Miss Nutting, aided by many others, have done much to make the class record what it is today. In athletics, we will crown the School with honors. The material is there to be developed, and when we once get a chance to exhibit our prowess, Oak- land will stand small chance of beating us. In baseball Ave have been in the lead. Whitam and McKenzie have Avon many games by their persistent efforts, and in the future, with Hal AVillis, Fat Easton, Al Solinsky. and others, all backing up Mac. in the pitcher ' s box, Ave hope to make B. H. S. im ' incible on the diamond. Nor do Ave lack an orator, for Edward Hart Jr. has already shaken the High School bnilding, as Avell as his audience, with his sih r er-tongued harangues. But with all this, ' 05 has not forgotten Avhat it came to High School for, and its members have studied patiently, and industriously, through the year. We sincerely thank the teachers for the interest they have shoAvn in our struggles with Latin, and math., and although Ave all realize Ave could hav r e done more faithful work to show our appreciation, Ave hope to raise our stand- ards next year. In closing. I will say that the class, quickly finding its place, has kept it ; of course, a little green with inexperience at first, but that wearing aAvay, there is left onlv the red. of strong, vigorous endeaA ' or, which will ahvavs stand for Berkeley High School and 1905. ERIC G. SCUDDER. 54 PRESIDENTS FOR THE YEAR 1 901-1902. WILLIAM ANDREWS. HARRY SQUIRES. The past year has been a most successful one for the Forum. The mem- bers of the Forum can look back over its vista and feel justly proud of their deeds. The} have built a structure worthy of fame as one of the best Forums ever organized. Throughout the year, excellent debates have been the pro- gram, listened to with a close and thoughtful attention. Especially should praise be given to the Presidents of the Forum. It is through their efforts that the Forum is an organization to be proud of. Owing to the late opening of school, the Forum was not formed until in the last of September. Under the energetic work of the able President. Mr. William Andrews, it was quickly moulded into a well-organized, serious body of thoughtful debaters. Bi-monthly debates were held, with Mr. Young. Mr. Hackley. and Mr. Alexander as critics. The debates were on the prominent questions of the day. and were very interesting, especially the witty sayings of the Hon. Percy Girvin. Early in the spring. Mr. Andrews handed over a well organized Forum to Mr. Harry Squires. Through the latter ' s masterful handling, the Forum was strengthened, both in spirit and in debates. Under his system of training in the Forum for the Oakland debate, excellent material was turned out for a team. This year there was an innovation in the method of picking out the three debaters. The Try-out for the Oakland Debate was held before an Asso- ciated Students ' meeting of the Berkeley High School. The question was the same as that for the coming debate. Out of the seven contestants. Mr. Chaplin. Mr. Crowl. and Mr. Andrews were chosen to represent the Berkeley High School. After six weeks of hard work, the Debate with Oakland was held. On Friday night. May 9th. our boys met the Oakland team — Messrs. Smith, Roop. and Merritt. We had the affirmative side, and Oakland the negative of the 56 question, Resolved, That the French Ministers should be made directly re- sponsible to the President. It was a very close and even debate, though many thought that Berkeley had the best arguments by far. But, nevertheless, the decision went to Oakland, though, of course, Mr. Chaplin won the honor of being the best speaker. Our team did excellent work, and we can be as proud of them as though they had won. It is with great sorrow that we see Mr. Chaplin, Mr. Andrews, and Mr. Crowl leaving the Forum next year. No man can take Chaplin ' s place, either in debates or on the track. One consolation to us is, that we will still have Muir McKelvev with us next year to bring laurels to the High School. In looking over the record of the past year, I can see no blemish in the Forum ' s fame. There has been no rough-housing in the meetings, and it has been an enjoyable year. I only hope that next year ' s Forum will be as good, and better, if possible, than the Forum of 1 901-1902. BERTHOLD F. HEWS. B. H. S- DEBATING TEAM 57 In the Class Day exercises, the Class of ' 02 has departed from the custom- ary curtain-raiser and farce, selecting instead a play of true literary merit. Goldsmith ' s play has recommended itself, as being the work of an author whom we have met in our High School course ; so that, in spite of great difficulties, we have worked hard and hope to justify the choice. The plot is laid in rural England about the middle of the 18th Century. ACT I. Scene 1. — In Mr. Hardcastle ' s House. Scene 2.- — The Ale House. ACT II.

Scene 2. — In Hardcastle ' s House. SYNOPSIS. Young Marlow and his friend Hastings are mis-informed by Tony Lump- kin, the jocular son of Mrs. Hardcastle, and take the house of Mr. Hardcastle for an inn. his servants for attendants, and his pretty daughter for a barmaid. The latter, being informed of the misunderstanding, and learning of Marlow ' s timidity toward women of his own class, continues to deceive him, permitting him to believe her to be the barmaid. The young man, put quite at ease in this way, unwittingly falls in love with Miss Hardcastle, who thus accomplishes her aim through stooping to conquer. 58 SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER. By Oliver Goldsmith.

The costumes for the play were furnished by Goldstein Co., 733 Market street, San Francisco. The thrush was softly singing in the cornfield, The sun had sunk into the distant west, The frogs were chanting vespers by the brookside, The winds of evening seemed to be at rest. The river ' s voice was mingled with the music Of thrush, and frog, and katydid, and cricket. When gentle footsteps softly wending homeward. Were heard from yon forlorn, sequestered thicket. As they approached, were heard sweet voices singing, In accents sweet and tender, the old song Of Annie Laurie, rich in love and beauty, In faith, in womankind, been known so long. The voices cease, the boughs are pushed aside, Out steps a girl with eyes of deepest brown, Whose tiny hands are clasped within her lover ' s. And roses red upon her dainty gown. With blushing face and looks of deep devotion, She looks up to her lover ' s eyes of blue; He gently bends to catch the whispered promise Of, Edward. I ' ll be true to God and you. The Promise. 59 The Associated Students. IX years ago, the students of the Berkeley High School, fully aware of the strength that lies in organization, met and formed a union which now bears the name of The Associated Students. This body was organized to promote greater interest among the stu- dents of the Berkeley High School in every undertaking of the High School, and to bring the students into closer relations with each other. The Berkeley High School, owing to its unusual advantages and its in- creasing membership, is fully qualified to lead the Academic schools of the State in all branches of student affairs. The medium through which to accom- plish this end is the Associated Students. On April 2 we held one of the most successful meetings since the organ- ization of the student body. The meeting was delivered into the hands of the Forum to hold its try-outs for the annual debate with the Oakland High School. The progress of the debate was followed with great interest by all. The Olla Pcdrida. which, during the past years, was under the direct supervision of the Senior Class, was this year based upon the Associated Stu- dents. Owing to this, a greater interest is felt in the paper among the students, and this has been the most successful year in the history of the Olla Podrida. As the year closes, the Senior Class steps forth from among the Asso- ciated students, but there are many left who stand ready to take our places. To their care will fall the new class which will enter in the fall term. We sincerely hope that a stronger bond of union will arise among the student body, and that next year we shall see the Berkeley High School surpassing her rivals, and sending a worthy contingent of scholars and athletes to our University. BERTRAM CHAPLIX. President. The Athletic Association. In the year 98. the boys of the Berkeley High School, recognizing ' the need of some strong financial support of the B. H. S. athletic teams, met and organized an Athletic Association. The good effects of this move were felt at once. More men came out to try for the teams, the articles necessary to good training were procured, and a renewed interest was felt in all branches of athletics. Since then, the Athletic Association has grown in numbers, and become a power for good in the High School. But there is not the degree of school spirit shown that there has been in former years. When athletic teams feel that they are working for their school, and that that school is behind them, and not only hopes they will win. but is determined 60 that they shall, if good rooting and encouragement can do it, then the chances are two to one that they will. And when every boy in the school is a member of the Athletic Association, and when every member takes a personal interest in every member of every athletic team, and when that interest is deep enough to dig down into his pocket and bring out his athletic dues, the Berkeley High School will have a model Athletic Association. GEORGE WARREN, President. BERKELEY HIGH SCHOOL RECORDS. We give below the best records on track and field of our athletes during the High School ' s athletic record.

These have generally, for their ob- ject, the fostering and cultivation of the social spirit, and of those close friendships that mean so much, in after life, to those who cherish them. As these organizations formed and developed each term, there were those who came to regret that there was not some society which had for its object the promotion of the interests of Athletics. As it is very well known, the dif- ferent branches of Athletics too often interfere with each other, and so cause contentions and bitter feelings that destroy concerted action, and lessen the chances of victory in contests with other schools. The organizers of this so- ciety, realizing the need of some strong bond of union among the athletes of the school, decided to form an Honorary Athletic Society, which should have for its object the forming and strengthening of a close bond of fellowship of the Athletes of the Berkeley High School. In pursuance of this resolution, six athletes of the school met and formed the B Athletic Society. Only athletes who have played in an A. A. L. game of baseball, or in an A. A. L. tennis tournament, or have made a point for Berkeley High School in an A. A. L. Bay County Field-day, are eligible to become members of this society. In order to preserve order and harmony within the society, it was thought best by the charter members that candidates for membership be voted upon by ballot. Every member who joins must promise to uphold the interests of all the different branches of athletics to the best of his ability, and to work in accord wit h the other members of the society to that end. We wish it to be distinctly understood that this society is not a fraternity, hut an Athletic Society. Its business is not secret, nor does it require of its members any other oath than the promise to support the interests of athletics. The six charter members are : Claude Kern, Richard McOuesten, Chester L. Stanley, Garth Fergusson, Louis Rape, and George Warren. Those who have since been initiated are : Charles Monson, William La Grange, Albert Merritt, Ralph Brock, Chester Lamb, Louis Kistler, Euwen Kruse, William Warren, Samuel Flume, William Henry, Wendell Farrar, Ernest Wrampelmeier. 63 THE FAR-FAMED REALM OF ALUMNI. GREAT commotion was heard in Mars. All was excite- ment, for an air-ship had arrived at the portals of the do- minion, and bore a message from a far-away country of the mysterious name of Bee Atechess Alumni. The great chief Dough Sher sent greetings to the realm of Mars and desired his friendship. That the people of Mars might know more of the distant nation, the herald brought a won- derful parchment which held the annals of the far-away nation. ' Many cities were enumerated thereon, and the great lords who guided their municipal affairs. One glorious city was described, wherein were built many Flats, and this was the city where all the most beautiful dwelt, and the happiest and best. It was called by the name of Mu Sik, and the mighty lord in this place was Brik Mors. And then there was the city of Ath Let Icks, and its ruler, the great Pow Ell; and in order came the city of Ba3 s Bawl, and its far-famed lord, Ham Linn. The business of the city was very great, and it required an assistant lord, and the people chose one from their number who was called Mak Ku Enn. Next was the city of great population, and it was called Dram At Icks, and here ruled the incomparable Hun Terr and his advisory board, the charming Ru Bee, and the clever Suth Ard, and the witty Krus Kee. A city where many made pilgrimages was the one called So Cy Etee, and here dwelt the chief Spring Er, and his secretary, Bry Enn Bell. One queer little city was situated in the Center, and they called it Gazz Ett, and here might be seen the affable Dun Gan and Busy Mak. One hated city was seen shining in the sun, and it bore the dreadful name of Den Tiss Tree, and its ruler was the Royal Wool Zee. All the tourists in this wonderful country were sure to visit one artistic city which, from the coloring of its sunsets, was called Bluan Gold. A kindly man dwelt here, and he was called Fred Reed. Then were told its achievements of past ages, and they took much space. The Chief Dough Sher begged that the most friendly relations might exist between his people and the inhabitants of Mars, who went by the name of Naw Tee Tooz. His people desired the friendship of the Naw Tee Tooz, and would be honored by the alliance of such Highly cultured men. The great ruler of Mars called his liege-lords together and demanded their opinion. One of their number said it was a coveted honor to be the allies of Bee Atchess Alumni, and his brothers assented. All acclaimed with one voice that they accepted, and a message sped on its way from Mars to the mighty Dough Sher. And when he heard the answer, he called his subjects together and on the sixteenth day of the fifth moon, they spent their time in much feasting and dancing to celebrate the alliance of the Naw Tee Tooz. MARY A. KENNEDY. Secretary of B. H. S. Alumni. 64 Baseball. FTER our glorious season of 1901, and after almost completing a record for the season of 1902 that surpassed even this, the losing of the final game for the championship of the A. A. L. stands forth as one of the greatest disappointments that our team and school had to suffer. Practicing for over two months, = in this time winning all our practice games with other prep. schools, winning our six league games of the sub-league, and thereby gaining for another year the beautiful silver trophy of the sub-league, winning the semi-final game, and then — then — losing the very last game! Certainly no one felt the loss of that game more than the members of the team. Still, when we take into consideration the reverses that we had to contend with, the team can no doubt be congratulated upon the good showing that it made. In the six sub-league games we scored 90 runs to our opponents ' 17, mak- ing an average score of 15-2.5, surpassing the record made last year, which was 14.5-4- After winning the semi-final game by default, we were again qualified for the championship of the A. A. L. The final game was played at Eighth and Harrison streets, San Francisco, at ioa. m., giving the Lowell team, our opponents, a decided advantage, as our team had to leave on an early train in order to be at the grounds on time. In regard to that game, we can simply say that we had an off day, and Lowell was lucky enough to play us on that day. The records of the two teams for practice and preliminary games, show Berke- ley far ahead of Lowell. It is to be hoped that the clay is not far distant when a series of three games will have to decide the championship, instead of just one game. lows B. H. S.-25. P. FI.-2. B. H. S.-25. S. H. S.- 14.

S. supporters do fine rooting, team and the individual merits of the players : 67 Catcher — R. Boettig ' er, behind the bat, easily upheld his reputation as the best catcher in the league. His throwing to the bags, especially second, made it useless for any of our opponents to endeavor to increase their stolen- base column. His batting helped toward many victories. Pitchers — Gordon McKenzie and Wendell Farrar, in the pitcher ' s box, were the cause of the downfall of many of our opposing teams. McKenzie, although only a Sub-Junior, proved himself to be a first-class pitcher, who should, before he leaves the High School, be the mainstay of teams to come. He has fine speed and curves, and almost unquestionable control. His batting- was good, he being able to manipulate the stick either right or left-handed. Farrar, although hindered by sickness, rounded into fine form the last half of the season, and by his pretty and clever pitching soon earned the appro- priate nickname of Rube Waddell. His small stature helped him greatly in his batting, at which he was good. First Base — At the first corner we had our old reliable, Charles Monson. With a strong arm and a good eye, Charlie had no trouble in throwing the ball around the cushions His batting, having the advantage of being a south-paw, was good. Second Base — At the second corner, James Witham, a Sub- Junior, played a game that was often worthy of a varsity player. With a natural ability to handle the ball, James never let anything go by. He worked conscientiously, showing a great interest in his team. He also was clever with the willow. Third Base — King Sweasey, a new man, guarded the third stopping place. Although this was a new position for King, he quickly adapted himself to his work. His jolly nature and ability to help along his team put life and spirit into many of our games. Short Stop — Elmer Nelson, better known to us as Stubby, played that position on last year ' s team, Elmer had no difficulty in upholding his reputation as a clever ball player. His throwing was usually good and his batting at times brilliant. Left Field — In the left garden George Warren took care that no balls reached the ground. Being fast on his feet, George covered much territory. Lack of time on account of school work, prevented Gydge from playing on the infield, where he played in clever style last year. Right Field — In the right pasture we had our determined, hard-work- ing player, Richard McQuesten. Richard saw to it that his field was well guarded, and by his keen interest in the game, put much snap and vigor into his play. His base-running and batting were good. Center Field — Oscar Boettiger. Substitutes — W. Warren and Worthington formed two able substitutes. Warren played in two league games. The management of the team was looked after in an able manner by Ray- mond Pond. We here wish to thank those boys who took interest enough in their team and their school to come to the games, and who supported the team from the beginning to the end of the season. They were a constant help to us. and 68 reminded us that we were playing, not for our pleasure, but for the Berkeley High School. The members of the team also wish to give their most hearty thanks to our principal, Morris C. James, whose keen interest in our welfare will never be erased from our memories. OSCAR B. (Capt. ' 02). MANAGER POND 69 ERA few football seasons have been so successful as that of the season of 1901 in the history of Ber- keley High School. The outlook at the beginning was rather dark, as but five of last year ' s team were left, and other schools had been practicing three weeks before our school was in session. Our first game, after only a few days ' practice, was with Alameda, whom we succeeded in beating to the tune of 22-0. Six games were played after that, and then we met our old-time rivals, the team from Oakland High. In an exciting and close game we defeated them by scoring a safety, making the score 2-0. By winning this game we were qual- ified for the semi-finals, which was with the Xapa High School. On a muddy field they were defeated 11-0. This won us the right to play for the championship of the Academic league in a game with Lowell High School. This game was played in San Francisco, November 23. As luck would have it, all our important games were played in the mud, and this game was no ex- ception. McOuesten scored the first touchdown for Berkeley, and soon after, Vosburgh of Lowell, on a fumble, g ot the ball, and in a long run, made a touch- down for his school. The score was now 6-6. While the ball was in our pos- session on Lowell ' s 10-yd. line, the game was called by the umpire on account of darkness. Lndoubtedlv we would have scored again, our team beinp con- sidered by all much superior to Lowell ' s. Another game could not be arranged, as the principals of both schools thought best to end the football season at this point. This left the championship of 1901 jointly held by Lowell and Berkeley. During the season the team journied to Palo Alto, where they met the Stanford Freshmen, in which we were defeated by the score of 21-6. At Stockton we defeated the Fligh School of that town by a score of 35-0. Three games were played with the University of California Freshmen, 70 of which one was a tie, o-o, and the other two they beat us, 15-0 and 6-0. Preston Plummer, a football player of only two years ' experience, was captain, and played right tackle, being moved from guard to that position. He was considered the best tackle in the league. Dick McOuesten, heavier than last year and even more brilliant, held down left end, while the honors of right end were jointly held by Locey and Brick Linscott. Merritt and Baldwin alternately occupied right guard, it being difficult to judge between the two, both being heavy and quick men. Lamb, of last year ' s team, again played in his old position at left guard. Fergusson played left tackle in a very creditable manner. Monk McCoy again held down center even better than last year. He was down upon the ball among the first, and in case of a fumble, Monk would generally be seen with the ball in his possession. Solinsky again was quarterback, playing a more heady and accurate game than last season. Mayo, very light, but quick, played a good game at half. Kern, the star halfback from Lick, easily upheld his former reputation. Our fullback was Patton, a daring player for his weight. If there were no holes in the line to go through, he would go over. Hall, Dorn, and Hanna were substitutes. Coachers Symes and Saeltzer were untiring in their efforts. Trainer Christie, of the University, also helped us to a great extent. The success of the team was due chiefly to these men. CHESTER LAMB, Manager. — ■q o the junior gift to the ancient history room. Originating with the Class of 1900, it has become a custom for the Junior Class to leave behind it, as it advances to the rank of the Middle Class, some work of art to adorn the History Room. The Class of 1903 departed from the usual precedent only in the nature of their gift, for they chose a handsome United States flag , whose folds are draped above a fine portrait of Abraham Lincoln, also their gift. The Class of 1904 has ordered from Caproni, of Boston, casts of two panels of the Parthenon frieze, each 42x56 inches, and when school re-opens in August, these beautiful objects will be in place, suitably mounted. Among thinking people the idea is rapidly growing that the objects which meet the eyes of the pupils every day for years must necessarily mould the mind of the observer and become a vital influence in his life; therefore, we hope to see some concerted action in the community toward bringing into the bare and undecorated rooms and halls of our new High School building, the aesthetic element in the way of art-treasures, such as pictures and casts designed to stim- ulate the imagination toward the heroic and the historic, toward the good, the true, and the beautiful. In this connection, it may not be amiss for this year ' s Junior Class to give grateful recognition to the gracious thoughtfulness of friends in sending their fine collection of photographs of Rome for the use of the History Class. 71 Tra ch. While the spring season has not been as successful as anticipated, never- theless its results, as compared with those of last year, are in every way hopeful and encouraging . The fact that we were dogged by our customary hodoo cannot be ignored ; for although we are not disposed to. cry over a poor excuse, we feel that postponed field-days and unforseen accidents, as well as the merit of our competitors, have figured in the score. But the season, as a whole, has been characterized by exceeding dash and enthusiasm. More men have been out, more field-days have been held, and more interest been taken than ever before. The results can be seen in the work of Chaplin, Hickey, Stanley, and the development of Blakemore, Men-it, Hume, and Lougborough. The field- day scores also bear witness of this. Although defeated for first place by a score of 60-54, nevertheless, our team in the actual events, leaving out the re- lay, scored two more points than Oakland. In the A. A. L., a team crippled by the absence of Boettiger, Wrampelmeir, and Nelson, and disheartened by Hume ' s accident, piled up 20 points unaided by a relay, 3 points more than Oakland made in the same events. After the A. A. L., our boys stopped train- ing, which accounts for our defeat in the Berkeley-Oakland field-day. Chaplin proved a worthy leader, and it was largely due to his efforts that the good results were obtained. In his star event, the broad jump, he covered 22 ft. 61-2 in., the American Academic record, or, in other words, the longest jump ever made by a school-boy athlete in America. He also ran the 120 yard hurdles in 16 3-5 sec, although beaten a few inches by Ukiah ' s crack hurdler, Weller, in the A. A. L. Chaplin affords a good example for every junior, who has the determination, to make himself a good athlete. On first trying the broad jump, he was disqualified for the finals, and as late as his mid- dle year failed to make a point in the A. A. L. ; but he staid with it, and the result does not need further advertisement. Blakemore and Merrit are new men in the weights, and should carry off everything the next year. Blakemore ' s record of a first in the shot, and second in the hammer for the x . A. L.. is one every junior should be proud of. Hume in the 220 hurdles, another new man, is fast developing into a strong runner. If not prevented by his injury receceived in the last field-day, be should make a hard fight for first place next year. Stanley made good time in the sprints, and now holds the B. C. L. records for both 50 and 100 yards. Hickey developed rapidly in the high jump, clearing S ft. 8 in. in his last field-day. Loughborough and Wrampelmeir did good work in the distances, the one in the 2-mile, the other in the half-mile. Brock, Posey, Monson, Lanto, Kruse, H. Blakemore, La Grange, Fisk, and Girvin also deserve mention for faithful and consistent work. 73 The places of Chaplin, Hickey and Boettiger will be hard to fill next year,, yet, with those remaining- and the new men to be found, a good team should be developed. Two things are necessary — grit and enthusiasm, not only in the team, but in the whole school — and with these, Berkeley High should con- tinue to forge ahead as she has done during the past three years HARRY C. SQUIRE, Manager. 74 Tennis never has been one of Berkeley ' s strong points, mainly for the reason that no interest has ever been taken in it by the school as a whole. Only two teams competed for the championship in the doubles. Esterly and Ambrose won out in a very evenly matched contest, getting three sets out of five. The championship in singles was won by Esterly over Clinch in the finals, but Clinch played in the A. A. L. He drew Rosenburg, the crack player from Lowell, and was put out in the first match. Clinch is a good player, and next year he should win the championship and make a good show- ing in the A. A. L. Ambrose did not do as well as was expected of him, considering the game he is capable of. Neither Warren nor Cavalier, the two oldest players in the school, came out this year. Esterlv and Clinch won second place in the double tournament, giving Geary and Mann of the Polytechnic School a hard rub for first place, and forc- ing them to play five sets. The Polytechnic team won out in the finals, 2-6, 6-1, 6-2, 5-7, 6-1. The playing of Clinch was by far superior to any of the others, reminding the spec- tators of the work of Sumner Hardy. Next vear, if the proper interest is taken in our tennis teams, the B. H. S. should win the A. A. L. championship. 75 Exchanges. is our intention, in this edition, to devote our space to a general discussion of the character and progress of some of our most frequent visitors during ' the past year. Some have started out poorly but improved in every issue, while others. Ave are sorry to say. have not con- firmed their hrst impressions. The Aegis of Oakland Hig h School has well rep- resented its school. During the first term, the paper was especially to be commended for its literary material. We remember in particular a series of articles written for the benefit of the pupils by members of the Faculty and prominent professional men in the city. There was advice to prospective lawyers, teachers, and ministers, which should have been a great help to Seniors in deciding upon their courses in college. The paper, during the last term, was more artistic in appearance. The Acorn. from Alameda High School, has made wonderful progress in the past year. The school seems to have taken a new lease of life. The paper was especially conspicuous for its classical appearance. This was very noticeable in the February number. AYe are doubtful, however, as to the value of the Book Review Department in a high school paper. It seems to us, also, that there is room for improvement in the cuts and cartoons. The paper has always been very neat, and the standard set by the first number was upheld throughout the year. Ever} department of the Lowell, Lowell High, has been worthy of such a large school. By the literary merit of the fiction, it would seem that the editor had lots of copy ' to choose from. One department has especially con- tributed to the improvement of the literary department. This is the column entitled Criticism. and written by some one of the Faculty for each issue. We think it would be very helpful to every school journal to have such a de- partment. The High School Bell. San Jose, has confined itself chiefly to affairs of the school. There has been very little material in it. during the past term, of interest to members of other schools. There has been very little fiction in it worth)- of note. Though the paper has betokened a strong school spirit, it might be well in the future to pay a little more attention to the departments of the paper. We are sorry that we have not the space to to comment on our many other exchanges which have visited us at different times throughout the term. The position of the Exchange Editor is not a pleasant one. He is sup- posed chiefly to find fault, now and then sprinkling a few word? of praise. But to all future editors we leave the following words of Emerson : Our chief want in life is somebody who shall make us do what we can. This is the service of a friend. Y . A..

But from each feast the little beast Rose fatter than before, Until at last he had to fast, And life became a bore. And then, for five, long, weary days, His food he could not steal, While all the family gave praise, O ' er untouched cheese and meal. The reason of the thing was this — The rat had grown so plump That, fatal to the creature ' s bliss, He could not run or jump. And, when those five days had expired, The rat had grown so thin That, all his soul with hunger fired, The churn he jumped within. That five days ' fast had weakened him, He struggled but a minute; Then of the cream he took a skim. And calmly sank within it. He was an old, respected rat, Whose time had come to die, But his companions, for all that, Did naught but weep and cry. Our chief is in a milky grave — We ' ll see his form no more; No more we ' ll see him. calm and brave,. Run o ' er the kitchen floor! 3 Three days had flitted swiftly by; The folks were making butter. When Biddy, with distracted eye, The following words did utter — Oh. Holy Moses! Can it be? A baste is in the pat! Come, missus, look, and you will see The rimnants of a rat! Ah! wildly did those women weep O ' er that poor rat ' s remains! Their sorrow was sincere and deep, And keen their mental pains. They placed him in a dirty pail, Along with all the butter, And then, with one sad, parting wail, They threw him in the gutter.

THE B. H. S. FLOWER GARDEN. I was walking down Grove street one pleasant afternoon, and having nothing important to do. decided that I would visit the new Berkeley High School. As I came nearer the build- ing, I was surprised to see so many flowers, for I did not know that the High School was so favored with such a garden as I found it to be. Coming still nearer. I noticed a pe- culiar object, near the front walk, which reminded me of a broom plant, and I wondered if it could possibly be one, when, lo! the object moved, turned around, and I beheld Mr. Ricardo smiling a joyous welcome. As I started up the front walk. I paused a moment to admire this Wilderness of Sweets. and Mr. Ricardo, who was very fond of his flowers, asked me to walk through the garden with him. I was delighted and listened with much interest to his varied comments on the different flowers, and I noticed that the garden was well kept and most of the flowers were very beautiful, only here and there was a stray weed and some unruly grass. The most obnoxious of these weeds was a sickly-looking to- bacco-plant (V. Millage). and one lonely bunch of Nimble-will (Will La Grange). I next stopped to admire some exquisite Roses. The American Beau- ty (Grace Stokes). Rainbow Rose (Hope White), and Cabbage Rose (Ivan Hamilton), were especially un- rivalled. Mr. Ricardo then called my atten- tion to a trellis covered with Sweet Peas, saying: ' Here are sweet peas on tiptoe for a flight. ' and as I looked at them, he was kind enough to tell me the name of each one. Fashion (Miss Roller). Coquette (Leslie Gompertz). Modesty (Miss Curtis), Her Majesty (Zoe Riley). Cupid (Mr. Ellston). Lovety (Miss McLean), and Oriental (Taku Ouz- auwa). Around the base of the trellis— m fact, all over the garden, here and there — was the famous Creeper (Mr. James). As I went on. I was surprised to see a Larkspur (Theo Wilder), for it seemed out of place, standing, as it were, by a lovely Lily (Marguerite Shoecraft), and seemed not to realize that it should say to itself: ' The lily is all in white, like a saint. And so is no mate for me. ' ' While the Lily, bending its head toward the Daisy (Will Cavalier). which was growing near by, seemed to breathe: ' With little here to do or see Of things that in the great world be. Daisy! Again I talk to thee, For thou art worthy. ' Being very fond of Geraniums. 1 asked him if there were any in this garden. Yes. he replied, but only two. We may have more later on. but none will be prettier than these. This o ne. he said, ' ' is called the In- nocent (S. Mathews) and this the Dazzler (Mary Downey). We have many Pansies. he told me, and only three (Olive Morrish, Vesta Colby and J. Montgomery) are blooming at present. Sweet-faced litle things, ain ' t they? The garden was brightened by a Marigold (Grace Pratt) A sun-loving Marigold. and a slender Golden Rod (Mabel Knoll). Some of the smaller flowers, but not less noticeable, were the Blue bell (Ethlyn Dulin). the Hare-bell (Hazel Cole), the Forget- me-not (Maud Hogue). the Cowslip (Juliet Bennet), and the Violet (Eliz- abeth Syle), over which I exclaimed with delight: ' The violet ' s charms I prize, indeed; so modest ' tis and fair. ' ' A Snow-ball (Norman Ambrose), so pure and white, was one of the most attractive flowers in the garden, and in a corner stood a Century Plant (Wm. Crowl). Ah! there is a Begonia. ' ' cried I. it is one of my favorites. ' Yes. said Mr. Ricardo. Q2 Be-gone-you (Linscott) , is nice enough, but I like Our-kid (orchid- Delia Wicoff) much better. That Passion-flower (Miss Holling) yon- der, we just got over from Germany. A small but worthy flower, the Sweet William (Mr. Hacley), then caught my eye just as Mr. Ricardo called my attention to the Jessamine (Florine Brackenbridge). Jassamine is sweet and has many lovers. Next loomed in view a shaggy Chrysanthemum (there was only one like this — Will Henry). A few steps farther on was a Sensitive Plant (Mr. Lamare), which seemed annoyed by the flowers around it, especially the Johnny-jump-up (John Patton). Not far away from the Johnny-jump- up I saw a Coxcomb ( Frank Solin- sky), but it was not particularly at- tractive, and was a decided contrast to a brilliant Poppy (W. Clark), growing near it. He then pointed out to me with his cane a lovely Sweet Mignonette (Louise Eastman), a dainty little Butterfly flower (Bertha Clark), and the well-known Jack-in- the Pulpit (Homer Beedle.) I then made him happy by saying that I thought Berkeley High should be proud of such a garden , and added as I passed on out, I enjoyed the walk through your garden very much, and so: Farewell my flowers, ' I said. The sweet Rose as I passed Blushed to its core; its last Warm tears the Lily shed. The Violet hid its head Among its leaves and sighed. ' THE ONLOOKER.

Besides the most extensive and thorough departments of business training- on the Pacific Coast, Heald ' s Business College has departments of Civil, Min- ing and Electrical Engineering in which a student can, in the shortest possible time, secure a practical, working knowledge of Surveying, Mining, Assaying-, Chemistry, Blowpipe Analysis, Milling, Cyaniding, and all branches of Elec- trical Science. The courses touch upon the essentials, and eliminate all superfluous branches, thus saving from one-half to two-thirds of the student ' s time. The demand on the College this year for graduates of all the departments is unprecedented. The College has from twenty-five to fifty positions offered every month more than it is able to fill. This condition constitutes an appeal to young men to get ready for some of the splendid chances waiting for trained minds and hands. SEND FOR CATALOGUE AND COLLEGE JOURNALS.
