Our stexjs have worn the floors, our voices have echoed again and again in the old rooms, our failures have tried our teachers ' patience — but our victories there are a sweet rememberance to us. How we did yell when our boys won — when the Crimson and Gold floated first in the field. Oh, those old days! Will we ever enjoy ourselves as we did then — carefree, careless, young and hopeful — what more is needed to have good times? You, our fellow- students, whom we are now leaving and many of whom w© will never see again, drink to the full the cup of pleas- ure in your High School days, for they are the best days of all — yes, the very best, even though you may think the teachers are heartless, the lessons hard, and yourselves grow tired. All of us leave our old friends and our dear surroundings with a sigh of deep regret, and many an eye is wet on the night when v e receive the white roll of parchment which means that our days of play and pleasure are over — for many of us do not go to higher colleges of learning, but go at once into that great college — life! And so we, who are standing on the threshold of our future careers, greet you, fellow companions, and you, our readers, who have already felt the surges and the buffets of life — the life that our class poet sings of: Life — that sublimest mystery, great joy of being! What is it? — what the wind that gently fans the flowers? Whither it cometh? — ' Tis that no man can tell. And what its end? — Men can but look with wistful gaze Beyond the snowy clouds and sigh, God ' s in his heaven. But this one thing we know — life is a preparation, Else why these problems hard, that try each passing day, Or joys so deep, as each new faltering step grows firm? Perfection! the unconscious goal of every man! ' Tis that we ' re striving for, as each new rule of life With proud hearts bowed and patient mind, we humbly learn, For if with hearty soul, determined will, we bend Each to the daily task that comes, tho ' great or small, At length our course complete, we ' ve done our best, we ' ll hear That last roll call, and with great joy we ' ll graduate — This, this is life — its aim, its end. is its beginning! —Grace Piatt, ' 03 SYLVANUS D. WATERMAN, Superintendent of the Berkeley Schools and the benefactor of our High School, was bo rn in Maine in 1842, and is a graduate of Bowdoin College. After serving in the Civil War, he came to California, and became Principal of Berkeley High School in 1890. In 1899 he resigned to become City Superintendent. It is principally to Mr. Waterman that we owe our new building, and it is through his earnest efforts that we today have a piano and a re- spectable library. MORRIS C. JAMES Our Principal has been with us since 1899, and numbers among his friends every student in Berkeley High School since that time. His kind, sincere friendship has inspired all to better work, and it is chiefly due to his support of athletics that Berkeley High has so many trophies. We hope he will be with us for many a year, fostering the ' true spirit of school life. Faculty Year Book Name Alma Mater hen e c ' d Strong Point Avocation Y OUTnTU 1 Reputation Fate Principal M.C.

Making warm the verdant meadows; When the blossoms bloom in beauty Without fear of icy north winds; When the streamlets flow in murmurs, Towards the great and mighty ocean, Kissed by warm and loving sunbeams. ' Twas the time of early summer, When all nature seems most happy. That the great and mighty prophet. The far-famed and learned scholar, James, the Wise Man of Highskoolum, Did declare, with voice majestic: Hearken to me, oh my people. Hear me, for I wish to warn you. If you do not heed my warning. Woe betide you — I have said it — I have noticed some among you. Some among the tallest of you, Some among the eldest of you. Some who think themselves the wisest, (Naughty-three, they call each other) Who will soon usurp the kingdom. Who will rule our land, Highskoolum, If their schemes are not prevented, If some measures are not taken. By which this can be averted. They are getti ng quite unruly. They have what is called the Big Head. Naughty =Three . We must send them from Highskoolum, Or they will corrupt the morals Of the youngest of my people. We must send them into exile. Never more to come back to us; Into long eternal exile. We will send them to U Ceum, To that famous seat of learning. Where they ' ll soon be cured of Big Head. We will give them slips of paper. To admit them to that country. And when they have once departed To that famous land U Ceum, We can sit back and be happy. Fearing not an insurrection. Thus spoke James, the learned prophet. And the rulers of Highskoolum, Thought his warning was most timely. For they too had seen the symptoms, Of that dread disease, the Big Head; Seen the people grow unruly. And they thought it best to send them Into long eternal exile. To the great land of U Ceum. Thus they left for larger regions. For a new and unknown country, Where the laws were very different. Where they knew not all the customs. Of the people dwelling in it. Still there were some glad to go there. Glad to leave behind Highskoolum, Departure of ' 03 And the toilers still remaining. Glad to leave behind the rulers, Oh, those dreadful, awful rulers! Who had made tliem most unhappy With their laws and rules of conduct. And yet there were some who went out, Who seemed sad at thought of leaving — Thought of all the friends they knew there, Whom they left behind on going; Thought of rulers kind and loving, Who had helped them when they stumbled, Wno had often cheered their toiling, Who had made their sojourn happy In the blessed land Higliskoolum. And they sighed and went out weeping. IRENE GAINES. ' Oa. BERKELEY HIGH SCHOOL The Wonderful Century and the = 9. Wonderful Class of ' 03. � N 1900, when all the glory of the Century was on every tongue, when Columbia, goddess supreme among nations, had reached a point in progression never yet attained by any other country, when the great Century was passing away in all its magnificence, in that year which rounded to the full the wonderful period whose achievements mark it as superior to any that went before it, there gathered within the walls of the Berlceley High School, a class worthy of the departing Century, one which, on going from the school, was destined, just as the age, which it resembled, not to die, but to live in spirit and its exploits forever in those halls. I do not mind confessing to you that some of us Juniors thought it rather a fitting climax. Certain people in the classes following us were unkind enough to say later that we really never recovered from the idea. But I hope to prove to them that we have been fully juti- fied. Still, comparing our class to our century, we should look first at the inventions of each. In the nineteenth century three distinct methods of locomotion have been originated and brought to a high degree of perfection. They are: the steam car, the steamship, and the application of electrical power. We ' 03 ' s also have new methods of motion — two in number. One we might call Lack-o ' - motion, — for was it not in our time that Mr. James com- menced his endless cry of Move on? The other mear.s is employed in cutting to go to Mason ' s. This inven- tion, though a credit to our brains, was not one to our morals, so we dropped it, and it has lately been used chiefly by the Middlers. This century has, moreover, a few inventions which have the character of quite new departures; since they not only greatly diminish labor, but perform, by mechanical de- vices, operations which had been supposed to be beyond the power of machinery to execute. The more important of these are the sewing machine, the typewriter and the combined reaping, thrashing and winnowing machine. Into a contrivance like the last we each have formed our- selves, and, going through the Library, we have reaped where we cared to, thrashed our material thoroughly, and finally separated what we wanted from what we did not want. By this invention, the Hackley Reaper, Thrasher, and Winnower, each of us, in a short time, can get a result that it has taken before us many people several years to obtain. In the line of communication we also have gone ahead of the century. The history of the progress of communi- cation between persons at a distance from each other has gone through three stages which are radically distinct. At first it was dependent on the voice or on gestures, and word to one far away could only be sent by a messenger. Then writing was introduced, which simplified matters some. But the third stage, when by means of electric signals it was rendered independent of locomotion, is that History Class which has especially distinguished the Nineteenth cen- tury and our class. First came the telegraph, and then the telephone, wonderful themselves, but far surpassed by the wireless telegraphy, which was brought to perfection by us. Two people, who have something interesting to say to one another, obtain two little instruments so per- fectly attuned that on the least desire of either person the bell will ring on the other ' s instrument, or rather the other ' s heart, and they can then communicate. The great success we have had in this is marvelous, and, since this wonderful device has no wires, even the teachers cannot tap them. Means of obtaining fire and supplying light are also branches of invention in which we have obtained remarka- ble results. It needs only elections or contests of any sort in our class to start fire and heat. I assure you they far surpass friction matches. And as to light, we did noc even have to try to give that. We could not help it. Have we not always been a brilliant light, shining on all and forming the star to which our younger sisters and brothers have hitched their carts? One more discovery we have made. Now, listen, Mid- dlers, Juniors, and Scrubs, and follow my advice. When you have Exes take Anaethetics. It will render the most severe operations (after the Ex) painless! Invention and discovery are not the only lines along which we have designed to turn our endeavors. In ath- letics we have always added greatly to the gloiy of the High School. In football Dick McQuesten. though he left us in our Senior year, in the Junior and Middle years brought great honor to the class and the school as a star player. And he, Wink Farrar, and Charlie Monson were not only good football players but crack baseball players too. On the track, also, we have our men, Blakemore, Kyle, and Gaines, all excellent in their lines. In debating and writing we excel. Grace Piatt, our poetess and able editor of the Girl ' s edition of the paper, Harry Sulley, Bessie Magann, and Berthold Hews, all good story writers, are enough to fill our hearts with pride. That is not all, however. There are still our de- baters on this year ' s team, Newhall and Whitney. Our class play, The Good Natured Man, by by Oliver Gold- smith, was one of the best ever produced. But when we consider how very fine the 011a Pod has been, since the editor from our class has had it in charge, our cup of con- tent and happiness has flowed over. I hope, that at last every vestige of doubt, if there could have been any before, is swept away, now and forever. We have made discoveries and inventions fit to be com- pared with those of the century just passed, and about which no previous class ever even dreamed; we have given athletes, debaters and writers to the class and to the world; and last, but not least, we have put forth a body of people fitted in both body and soul to take a part in life ' s drama, and to give renown to Berkeley, to Cali- fornia, and even to the whole United States. Truely,both as regards the number and the quality of their onward ad- vances, the age ' to which we have not long ago said good- bj e, and our class, which is now to break up, fully merit the titles I have ventured to give them, — The Wonderful Century and the Wonderful Class of 1903. K. ELLIOT TROWBRIDGE, ' 03. CLASS PKOPHECY. Commencement eve — how glorious was the sky! Each tiny star was decided in gems ablaze — The moon in silvery splendor, beamed on high, ' Till nightly beauty seemed to mock the day ' s And flaunt itself upon the world ' s rapt gazze As proud camelia in a garden fair Her perfect beauty to the rose displays; More stately she, but void of perfume rare — The sparkling night more lustrous lacking day ' s glad glare. Yes, still the night and with all beautiful. This night of all the High School nights the best. When Seniors grave, gay, bad and dutiful Together met, and with an extra zest Declared to books a long, long, long, long rest. Only the same old Senior Ball, you yawn Never! Be far from ' 03 the guest To treat in ancient way, or old things pawn. Behold a custom new — Oh! most delightful dawn! Within the ball-room, joy and light and life. Sweet music ravished sense and charmed the feet. Banked flowers blushed in glee with pleasure rife, And vainly vied with maids, who there did meet With youths, to trip away the moments sweet. But what is novel? ask you in surprise. We think no ball that lacks these things complete. Look closer, you who are so very wise, Look at the people all who this great ball comprise. Each boy and girl who on this night began On his life ' s work to think and then prepare, Did hither come, according to his plan. Arrayed in character he wished to wear In years to come, when man ' s full care — Should on him fall — his father ' s mantle worn. Great plans to make, unfearing youths do dare! Low paths to take so haughtily they scorn! Bright shines the sun, and warm and hopeful in life ' s morn Who is this maid severe, with learned air, In dignity conversing there we se, • - With pompous lawyer (by his very glare), Instructess in the Berkeley High School I ' ll be. No loftier aim, methinks, there is for me, Quoth Carmel grandly to th ' ambitious youth. Clinch, courting honor of an L. L. D. There ' s burly Happy — floor manager forsooth. How masterful with star . and threat ' ning club looks he! See Hume and Worth, sombrero hats in hand, Each madly dancing in his cowboy rig! Sweet Jimmie sports the badge of U. C. band; Both Zoe and Luther wear a judge ' s wig. While Leslie grave is known no more as dig. But shines with lustrous gleam as fashion ' s glass. Class Curran there in tracsport dance a jig — Pro hec going to wed a girl of Senior Class), To Blakemore ' s music that with feeling thrills the mass. But hark I and list to Pluma ' s from the stage! How her sonorous voice our ear assails! Shell lecturer become to earn her wage. Poor Perry says he wants to ride the rails, And capenter Adela drive our nails. There ' s tiva tall, who wears a trained-nurse ' s cap. And little Eva who our notice hails, A-peddling harware implements and bright tin pails. Why, there is Howard Gaines, in farmer ' s jeans, And Florine Brackenridge, a Southern queen; There ' s Georgia Scott — I wonder what she means By such big goggles and a birch-switch lean? High-ho! here comes that curly Claude Beaudine, With fireman ' s cap and shiny rubber boots. But Ach! alas! surprising this, I ween — There lone Thayer in the corner plays a lute! I feel o ' ercome, I can no longer stay — mon hoot! This motley ball went on till hours wee — Each one still acting out his future part, The one he chose on all life ' s stage to be. The Fates that night stunned by dark Pluto ' s dart Let fall the threads of life, and sick at heart. Beheld those thoughtless ones snatch up the strands. And heedlessly upon life ' s journey start, All careless of its sorrows, duties, joys, demands. But Time, hast ' ning for no man, waits for none. So, minutes, hours, days, years flew away. ' Till all the eager youths from childhood run. Stopped as they reached a mile-post on the way. And met that they once more their younger days Might live again — in mem ' ry still as new As when in masquerade at life ' s strange play In misfit roles, each strove to air his view Of what in leading part he best of all might do. So from all parts of earth the gathering came To meet and greet with joy, each well-known form; The sight of each old face, each oft-heard name; With story of each life of sun and storm, Bro ' t sighs of pain or smiles of pleasure warm. Our President of old, McKelvey, see As in his usual w ay he leads the swarm In rousing cheers for glorious Naughty-Three. So started then the ball — a long-wished joy, to be! As in and out among the groups we take A passing look, some falling word, perchance, A ' lumined picture of each face may make. This woman beautiful, her charms enhance, By dignity of mien, e ' en in the dance. For married she a wealthy Southern man. And Florine ' s bliss is known e ' en at a glance. Who was it stooped just then to reach her fan? ' Twas Perry, known to all by the Railway line he ran. I like to act in Shakespeare, I ' ll confess, Comes clearly as we pass a dark-haired one, Who ' s dancing with a Power of the Press,, — Our friend, McKelvey there, the Great Big Gun, And Bess, our lassie still, so full of fun. Maid Marian has still her bright sweet smile, Grown habit, as a duty often done — For with it must she each small child beguile From naughtiness! Head of an Orphan ' s Home the while My beats the worst in town — it can ' t be beat! Declares a high-pitched voice, not far away. A p ' liceman ' s club I wanted — won it neat! And burly Ivan jingled loud his pay. To get my place, took many a long hard day, Sighed Amy Luke, head English Prof. (U. C), Who on his arm to supper made her way. Why, Kyle! cried one, and are you home from sea ' ' No storm that blows, from this place could keep me! ' With prosperous look R. Clinch his lady guides — He found the grocer ' s apron less compressed Of butter, crackers, eggs and bacon sides The worth than trailing Lawyer ' s gown, so blest. Sweet Pluma as a wife, is glad to rest — She tired long since of trying to be heard. Demure Bess there, with flaxen hair, is best Just now, known by a life (for her absurd) Alone — (sad love affair) — with only cats that purred. A pause there came in music, talk and fun, And quick the word goes round from ear to ear That from her stately mansion, lately won, The fairest President in all the world is here, To grace this meeting of her class so dear. Then as she comes among us, with proud head. Loud rise our hearts and voices, cheer on cheer. And once again the shouting high was led — Compassed by such good-will, no power need Zoeie fear. Upon the stage our honored guest was led. While each to show her honor, quickly tried. Our Prima Donna, Jimmie, sang, all said. Till in a very ecstasy, they sighed. And then before her. Sully quickly hied, The great comedian and wit withal. Who caused each one to laugh until he cried. Sweet sounds then rose, which did our souls enthrall. As Eva ' s music rare, enveiled us as a pall. Zoe then was greatly charmed and plead for more, So in a voice that soothed our ravished hearts, Irene (a wondrous poet) then did pour The oil of gladness, where the winged darts. Of passiorate tho ' t, had pierced our inmost parts. And there which still in pensive mood we mused, Brave Milledge rose, and with the speaker ' s arts, Aroused all minds (by some not often used) Before us bringing manhood suffrage, oft refused. But politics was quickly whisked from sight, (Or else the man had been in fearful broil,) The President asserting her great right To hold sway over those who simply toil — Unthinkicg men in daily grinding moil. So back the flighty dove of peace was brought. And anarchy again received its foil. As from this subject, with such danger wrought. Our minds we turned, — a message came, we long had sought. The word ran thus — The Pres ' dent of Japan Presents to ' 03 his best desires. With hopes that each and all, sometimes he can With kindness and the honor each requires As host beguile away, in lard of Sires, The time they care to spend in his fair land. He often thinks, and thinking never tires. Of aays he spent upon a distant sand — Ozawa fondly plans once more to tread that strand ' Mid great applause this message was received. Then loud and thrilling rose the joyous sound Of King ' s brass band, which greatness had achieved. Class Prophecy Class Then once more in the dance, with giddy round, p 1 Old classmates tripped with friends which they had found, op ecy - QQ Frame, (who runs a candy store). Is laughing gayly (a familiar sound) With Wight (the dancing master) as of yore, Such mirth does Curran (undertaker) much deplore. Yonder, in corner dim, inviting spot, Superior Carey tells her well-worn beads. Half screened by palms, aside from ball-room hot, Ihe German Baron Kleinschmidt casts his lot Once more before the one who wants him not — For Lois runs a private school for girls. What greater bliss wants she than what she got? Near, milkman Grant, a-bobbling all his curls, With Laura plans about her chicken-ranch, while whirls Fair Marguerite, leader of New York ' s Best, By in the arms of Ryder, artist great. In Paris gown (of all, the best she ' s dressed) Is Bertha Matignon from the French State — ' Tis rumored with the Court she has great weight. With Howard Gaines, French Consul, she talks now. Now ' fess up, Miriam! Study don ' t you hate? Postmistress Paterson demands near by But Yale ' s fair President does this vile charge deny. As round abovit the hall we make our way, Two men of pious looks are seen apart. Upon Theology they ' re urder sway. The Reverend Drs. Newhall and Rhinehardt, Lill Stewart long ago by Cupid ' s dart Was pierced. See standing there by yonder door — Not Jimmie Shaeffer, cry you with a start. The very same! He runs a dry goods store; Let ' s seek refreshments — hov, this room does buzz and roar! Who have we here, so calmly eating ice? Why Delia Wikofi, sure, the Hello Girl, A-trying to cool down Thayer, so very wise — He ' s now an expert on the great star-world. Oh, how familiar both their ways — to quarrel. So close those men about that table sit, I m sure there must be mischief on the whirl. Let ' s walk s-o slowly past — we may hear it — Ah yes! it ' s an election scheme — deep every whit! Who are they? Monson of liod-carrier fate, And Jennings — rival strong cf great John Boyd, And Whitney — in temperance leads his state, And Hews, who journalism could ne ' er avoid. Pass on — by politics we are annoyed. But hear that laughter gay — from whence the noise? O, Tis that crowd so gay. Fun unalloyed Was always with them. Life Vv ' as full of joy! A frolic new, I now expect their time employs. Fanny Schuster false, not till late a bride, Eleanor Keegan, tall, lately home from France, Anna Neuwirth rich (doth an auto ' ride), Matilda Martin, too, who mends her husband ' s pants, That they happy are see you at a glance. In that corner of their native State, Dora James from Mills. Beaudine from liis ranch. Chief Justice Pack, near Elliot sits in state. Listening to that known author ' s words with interest great Helen Robinson (a pastor ' s wife) is here. And Ethel Fletcher, too, a social queen. With Carmel, a librarian severe. ' Tis bliss for these old friends to meet, I ween! Cornelia, who keeps house for Harold Keran, (A solemn man and forlorn widower). Is helping Blanche Albee (whose tamborine And bonnet quaint help many a life to cheer.) As, hungry, we the table seek to gain our share. Hello, where have you been? then greets my ear, And Sarah Matthews ' face so kind and true, I, turning, meet, tho ' older, yet more dear. I ' m always well and very happy, too. Thanks to a medicine I ' ve just made new, I spoke to Chester Marliave just now — I wonder if that man man his wealth don ' t rue! And Alma Vass, an artist, I ' ll allow! Oh! Lulu Taber, too, who keeps a bakery, now. Then Maybelle Mentz, the hairdresser, came up. And told us of the old friends she had met — Edith Brown, in singleness, who did sup. And Herbert Wright, a foreign diplomat. Georgia and Gertrude Scott a shop had set — A fashionable modiste and milliner. biie told us Mabel James her houses let. And as a trained nurse was much sought Ida Turner, While a big boarding house was Fernande ' s wage earner. But where is Leslie Gompertz? then I cried. Afar in China ' s mission field her life Is spent, more than content there to abide, Quoth Sarah, full of news. The strife Where Blakemore, Mmcher, Kruse, each lost his life In the same province happened too, I think. Of Elwood Heister now the story ' s rife. That hunting in Polar seas for the mink. The mighty vessel he v as sailing in did sink. Miss Anderson and dashing Celia King Now chaperone young ladies for Miss Head, Said Edith Gray, who came by, on the wing, And what of you? we asked, the life you ' ve led? A fine stenographer! she laughing said. As slowly back upstairs we took our way. We met a lady who we tho ' t was dead — Why, Hazel Ergebretzen! cry we in dismay. But she said that she ' d been teaching in far off Malay. What pray is this commotion which we find? Take partners for the grand march! seme one calls. The President led off, while all behind Came great and small from all parts of the halls. A long line that which wound around the walls. Each form a different phase of life presents. Each heart a different feeling to it calls. But every phase, each tho ' t, the whole augments — Loud ' — louder cheers to Naughty Three each voice the still air rents! GRACE PIATT.

Act V — Scene 1 — An inn. Syn The comedy of The Good-Xatured Man was Goldsmith ' s first dramatic effort, and was produced for the first time at Covent Garden in 1768. The plot is excellent — full of in- genious complications, well-contrived situations and agree- able surprises that keep the interest ever alive. Briefly, the plot is as follows: Sir William Honey wood, in carrying out a plan to cure his hopeful nephew. The Good-Natured Man, of his mistaken generosity, and by involving him in fictitious pecuniary distress, frustrates the attempted Scotch marriage of the two lovers. I eou- psis. tine and his pretended sister, Olivia, and also bring? Miss Richland, in a most unexpected manner, to the rescue of her tardy lover, young Honeywood. In Act III a most laughable situation is created by the posing of the Bailiff and his follower as the gentleman friend of Mr. Honeywood. when they were in reality his keepers. Again. Act IV brings new complications by old Croaker ' s misunderstanding a very harmless letter and disturbing his unique household with the fear of an incendiary. How- ever, all difficulties are solved in the last act, and eveiw- thing ends happily. The Violet ' O THEN you have decided to go, Llew- ellyn rather said than asked, as he looked into Vivian ' s eyes for an answer. Yes, replied Vivian, Mama had a long talk with Dr. Turner yesterday, and he told her that my attending college was out of the question. Instead, he strongly ad- vised travel, and two or three seasons in Southern Europe as the best means of di- verting my mind from books. You know how strongly mama has favored that plan from the first; and now she is determined that it must be carried out. Oh, Llewellyn, how can I write the class prophecy! What shall I say for you and me? Vivian ' s voice ended in a wail, and Llewellyn could offer little consolation. It had been her greatest ambition to continue her studies, in college; and the fact that Llewellyn would then be. constantly near her, gave an added impulse to her hopes. But this last year of high school had been very trying, and occasional nervous attacks had all but com- pjelled her to stop before the term was out. Her mother had become greatly alarmed, and after much thought the above plan was decided upon. It was only a few more weeks until school was out, and then they intended leaving at once. The time went by all too rapidly. Long before they were ready to part, Commencement day was at hand. Vivian had bravely battled against her disappointment, and was determined that none of her friends should sus- pect her true feelings. As they assembled on the plat- s Messekge. form the evening of the exercises, none of her classmates looked prettier or more cheerful than she, and she read her prophecy in a steady, clear, voice, even when she came to the lines — With sober mien, in priestly gai ' b, Llewellyn Armsby next I see, In ministrations to mankind, passing the years, a bach- elor free. But the flowers, the music, the congratulations of friends were like a dream to her, and she was glad when it was over. The next few days were spent in busy preparation for the great journey. Llewellyn and Vivian were much to- gether during the time, for well they knew such a parting might be forever. On the last day he accompanied her to the coast where she and her mother and little brother Bennie were to take the steamer for Liverpool. Her father would join them in the Fall. It had been impossible to plan, definitely, for the future; so many things might happen. But as Llewenyn bade Vivian an affectionate farewell in her stateroom, she held up a bunch of violets, and with faltering voice gave her promise: In the language of flowers, Llewellyn, the.se signify faithfulness. They shall be my token. When I send you a violet, I am ready for you to come. Soon it was time for the steamer to start. Llewellyn turned homeward with a heavy heart, and as the land gradually faded from view, Vivian with streaming eyes went to her room, to find what consolation she might. Ber.Eie, please mail tliis letter for me; ard be sure to drop it in the proper tox. It is very important. It was Vivian who spoke. The greater part of four years had gore by since she reluctantly went on beard the steamer bound for Liver- pool. Three summer seasons in England and Scotland, and the corresponding winters in France. Italy and Egypt had slowly passed the time for Vivian. But many had been the sighs and heart-yearnirgs for home and — Llew- ellyn. And many times she had almost given up her reso- lution to wait until he should finish coliege. Now, how- ever, that she had kept her resolve, and the time had actually passed, she was very happy indeed. On this par- ticular morcing her heart beat light with the remembrance that only a few months remained of Llewellyn ' s college course; and she had written him a long, carefully worded letter, and inclosed in it a violet. For, as she reasoned to herself, he ought to know a while beforehand, — and then it would oe sure to help him in the coming examina- tions. Bennie ansvv ered the cai! with reluctance. He was busj playing with his boa.t out at the fountain, and in no mood to be disturbed. He took the letter, and, as his sister turned to go into the house, put it in the inside of his coat, promising himself faithfully to run to the office with it before lunch time. Little did he think of the woeful effects that could come from a little, thoughtless act. Soon it was lunch time, then a drive on the boulevard still further distracted his thoughts from duty, until by night the letter was completely forgotten. This was the last Friday of vacation. On Monday when school started, his play-clothes were discarded, and Vivian ' s letter, in- stead of being on its happy mission across the ocean, re- mained in its ignominious obscurity. Vivian, meantime, was too happy to be distrustful of anyone, and did not think to ask Bennie whether he had performed his errand. Thus she went about with much Violet ' s musing and singing, in innocent ignorance of the blow ] } g soon to come. Now let us see what took place across the sea. Llewellyn had been faithful to his work — it is so much Message easier when you are working for another ' s honor — and Vv ould graduate in the spring with laurels. He had also been faithful in another way; and his letters had, always, a tone of truest affection. Letters passed between him and Vivian about once each month, and it was now time for hers to come. There were often delays of a few days, however, and he did not think anything of its not coming on the exact time. But as the days continued to go by and still the letter did not come he could not help feeling a certain misgiving which gradually grew into constant musing and despondency. The effect was seen in his college work, and his friends be- gan to remark on his unusual melancholy. Thus it was that his chum Simmons found him in his room, one evenirg, a month after the time for Vivian ' s letter to come bad passed, gazing so abstractedly into the flre that he did not notice his chum enter the room. Vivian ' s photo and a pile of le tters together on the dresser told the story at a glance, and the intruder paused for a moment, undecided whether to speak or retreat. After a moment ' s hesitation he crossed the room and laid hi hand on Llewellyn ' s shoulder, with a frank How are you, old man? Llewellyn did not take kindly to the intrusion; but there was some consolation in the fact that it was his chum. You don ' t need to say a word, continued Simmons. I have eyes. Now, I ' ll tell you what; you must get out of this mood, and that right away or your standing will suffer for it. Tomorrow night the St. Patrick ' s ball will be given. You can ' t find a better place to jolly up, and you will meet all kinds of ladies. In fact I know a queen who intends taking about the same trip you have The been planning. I venture she would rather take It with ; 1 I. ' company than without. Then it would be a fine thing to r meet your runaway, over there, with a lady on your arm. Message Numberless thoughts flashed through Llewellyn ' s mind while this speech was in progress. When it was finished, he did not take up with the suggestion in the spirit which Simmons had hoped that he would. Instead, he prom- ised to think about it and let his chum know early the next day; and Simmons soon left, somewhat disappointed at the failure of his effort to rouse Llewellyn. After he had gone. Llewellyn gave vent to his feelings. He had not been quick to suspect Vivian, although he could not account for the failure of her letter to come, as he carefully watched the papers for disasters at sea, and there had been none. His chum ' s words now came to him with double power. My runaway; indeed, he mut- tered. ' What a fool I was to suppose that a girl wouid remain true through four years of absence, anyway; and with a single motion he threw letters and picture into the open fire-place; and as he bitterly watched the flames de- stroy them, he resolved to try for the revenge which his chum had suggested. $ Poor Vivian! She had scarcely been able to wait the usual month for her answer. Yet she was not surprised that it did not come in that time, for she knew that it was the busiest time of the year for Llewellyn. After six weeks had passed, however, she could no longer contain her impatience, and resolved to write again. Then it suddenly occurred to her that Benni-e might not have mailed her first letter. Her heart sickened at the thought, and she hastened to meet him as he came home from school. Bennie could not remember tlie doings of nearly three months before, but his conscience pricked him as he ran to the basement for his old coat. When he brought forth the letter and meekly handed it to Vivian her dismay was complete. Hastenirg to her room she tore it open and read it through to make sure of the contents, then adding a few pages of explanation concluding with I will come on the first steamer, took it to the main office herself. It was difficult to gain her parents ' consent to her plans. But Vivian saw that the fault was all hers, and she would not be dissuaded. It was a week before the next passenger steamer left port, and it seemed to Vivian that the time would never pass. One consolation came to her — the letter caught an outgoing steamer at once. But even it could scarcely reach Llewellyn before college was out. Llewellyn, on the other hand, had given little thought to his former love. Simmons had taken special care to have his scheme work out, and had been eminently suc- cessful. Llewellyn had inherited from an uncle a small estate ' n England, and his intended trip was to dispose of this, though he was av raiting Vivian ' s pleasure as to the time of taking the journey. As the lady whom his chum had mentioned had planned a visit to the same place during vacation, a happy chance seemed to offer. Then, too, it was only natural that Llewellyn should seek a balm for his wounded affections. But above all. the lady herself proved most agreeable. So all in all, a match was soon formed, and about the same time that Vivian was becom- ing aware of her misfortune another day had been named and v as now rapidly drawing near — the college year would close in a week, and three days later the wedding would take place. Llewellyn was himself again, and already his friends were congratulating him on his good fortune. But his success was too sudden, too happy — the reverse was com- irg. One evening he was startled at receiving a letter ad- dressed in Vivian ' s familiar hand. Nervously he tore open the envelope, — and his heart sank within him as the violet dropped out. Then as he eagerly read those carefully worded sentences of love, and the whole truth dawned upon him, a great lump arose in his throat, and over- whelming remorse seized him. But when he came to the last note and learned that Vivian was crossing the ocean for him — him who had condemned her without a word of proof — and would soon be in his very presence, his brain reeled, and he sank into a chair and tried to think of some avenue of escape. What could he do? This time there was no friend near to suggest a plan. He must fight it out alone. Such a shock, he well knew, would kill Vivian. How about the other one? He did not realize until now how short had been their acquaintance. He did not even know her nature. Thus he sat musing, turning over and over in his mind every possible plan for a compromise, until it grew dark. At last he arose with his lips firmly closed in a determined resolve. If Vivian came before the wedding, she should not be disappointed. But all of Llewellyn ' s worry and compunction of con- science might well have been saved. Vivian was destined to be the only sufferer. As might be expected, the worry of the last few days, together with the longing of the six weeks before, was too much for so easily excitable a nature. Violet ' s The steamer on which she and her mother took passage P} g — her father and Bennie remained that the latter might continue school — was but two days out when a fever set . . in. It grew daily worse, until by the time they reached IViessage the home port she was wholly oblivious of her surround- ings, and either talked incoherently, or, when the fever was highest, raved loudly of Llewellyn. When they at last reached home and her mother, worn out with worry and care, had to give up, Llewellyn himself took her place and watched over Vivian constantly, longing for a break in the fever, that she might recognize him. But his hope was not to be realized. The medical care on board the ship had not been what it should, and she was now be- yond the reach of human doctors. On the second day after reaching home the fever broke, it is true, but Vivian never awoke from the peaceful sleep which followed it. It was a severe lesson for Llewellyn; nor did he ever entirely forget it. The congratulations of his friends at his wedding a few days after Vivian ' s funeral, seemed empty, and as, with his bride, he started on the journey to England on the same steamer which had brought Vivian home, his thoughts were much more on the hap- penings of the past few v eeks than on the hopes of the future.

James (from the sofa) — Say, fellows, it ' s pretty hard on the poor duck to give nim such a job. Wonder if he ' ll do it? Leo (from t ' le hearth rug) — He ' s taking long enough about it. I ' m getting tired waiting, and if he don ' t show up soon with the real thing, we ' ll give him a warm recep- tion, all right. Tom (one of the Others) — Ssssssssh. There ' s some one at the door. I ' ll bet it ' s him — he, I mean. (Enter Fannie Jaspar, six foot three and on the foot- ball team. He sits on the table and swings his legs.) All — The deuce, it ' s only Fannie. Fannie — Not very flattering. What ' s diddir.g? You fellows look excited. Leo — Why, we ' ve sent Cook — Fannie — That ' s the new chap? All— Sure. Yes. Leo — Yes. Too had you ' ve been away, ' cause we ' re initiating him today. We ' ve sent him out to swipe a baby carriage and bring it home. Fannie — But v on ' t he buy one somewhere or just borrow it, you know? James — Holy Sm.okes! you don ' t say that if you knew how scared the poor lobster is. We told him that if he didn ' t bring back a real live buggy that had had babies in it, we ' d shave all the hair off one side of his head. Fannie — Think he ' ll find one? Leo — Oh, I guess yes. Babies seem to be a drug on the market here in Berkeley. You can ' t go through the U. C. grounds on a warm afternoon without stumbling over a dozen or so. James — Sure. The trouble will be to swipe it, after it ' s found. Dollars to doughnuts he don ' t do it. Tom (from window) — Better go slow, Jamie, for I ' m hanged if that ain ' t Cook rushing up the street, and he ' s got the blooming perambulator with him. (Two of the fellows rush down stairs to help Cook bring in the baby carriage, while the rest crowd to the window. Presently enter Harold Cook triumphantly, the boys bringing his booty.) All — Good boy. Cook. How did you do it, old man? Tell us the sad story. In One Act A Farce Cook— IIcw did I get it? Why, that ' s easy. Gee whiz. though, when I left here I felt like a nickel in a fog. and began wandering around, not knowing where to begin. I ' d never swiped any baby buggies before. But presently I had a keen idea. I thought maybe I ' d find one in the U. C. gi ' ounds. Leo — ■ Miat d ' I tell you? There ' s lots of ' em there. Go on. Cook — Well, when I got there, there were two or three around under the trees, but they all had kids in them, and I wasn ' t told to be a kidnapper, and wouldn ' t if I was. Leo and Tom (together) — Wouldn ' t you, tho ' ? Don ' t you be too sure of that. Fannie — Oh, shut up, you fellows, and let him tell his story. Cock — Up near the statue of the football player, you know, I found one that seemed to suit. The mother and another woman were off to the left with their backs to me, and one of ' em had a baby in her lap. I took a good look to see if there was any resistence around, but nothing v -as doing, ' cause of the game in the city. So I just grabbed the buggy and hauled it into the football grounds, chased across and out the other gate — it was open, Dy good luck — and then around and down and was out of the grounds. jMoses, but I felt funny with that baby carriage. There were people in the street, so I had to walk slow and natural. At first I thought everyone I passed would stop me to fi.nd out what I was doing with the blame thing. But they didn ' t — they just smiled sideways at me, thinking I was a very young papa, or a doting brother or uncle. Lucky for me, the hood was down, so no one could tell there wasn ' t a kid in the buggy. (Sudden whimperings from buggy, gradually increasing in tone and volume, and finally reaching a prolonged cresendo beyond the capacities of even the great de Resyke. All the fellows start, and then rush to the baby carriage, which up to this time they have neglected. Most of them are laughing.) James. Fannie and Cook (together) — How in thunder — Leo and Tom (together) — Thought you said you w ' eren ' t a kidnapper. Weren ' t told to swipe kids, were you? (They pull back the hood of the carriage and display Richard Wagner Beethoven Mozart Jones still yelling to beat even a brass band.) Fannie — Well, this is a prettj mess. Cook — How could I know. One of the w omen had a baby in her arms, and I thought it was the one that be- longed to the carriage. (He sits down with his head in his hands. Tom, Leo, and some of the fellows stand around the carriage joshing big Fannie, who is trying to pacify Richard Wagner, etc., Jones, and finally takes him up in his arms and walks back and forth singing Palms of Victory softly to him.) James — What are you going to do with it, Cook? It ' s yours, you know. Hadn ' t you better take it back, they may be there still, or have someone looking out for the child- snatcher. Cook (gloomily) — Oh, they ' ll be gone all right. Fannie (in between his lullaby) — It ' s your only chance — Palms of glorj- we shall win — old man — Caia-California — there ' s nothing else — Palms of victory (etc.) Cook — Then one of you fellows has to go with me, to bear out my story — if I find them there. It ' s hard enough, anyway. Leo — Oh, take it back yourself. We didn ' t tell you to steal babies. Go do your own dirty work. Fannie — Be quiet — (singing softly) — What ' ll we do to the- Stanfordites — you fellows — on that great day — I ' ll go with you. Cook — After the Play — We can ' t let this thing get out; there ' d be no end of a josh — that ' s all right, little man — it would be an awful scandal — we ' ll take him home to- his mamma — if it got into the papers. Cook — All right. Let ' s get out. Fannie — Wait till I get this kid — (singing) — Oh, the Jolly Sophomores, boys — into his carriage — The Jolly Soph- omores. (He sings and gradually soothes Richard Wagner, etc. Jones and places him sleeping in the buggy. The fellows stand around — some serious, others smiling doubtfully. Cook and Fannie carefully take buggy out and down stairs. The boys watch from the windows. Suddenly the tele- phone bell rings and the fellows start as from a spell. James takes down the ear piece.) James— Hello— What? Yes, this is the Delta Psi Fra- ternity House — Cook? — Sorry, just gone out — Very impor- tant? Say, one of you fellows run after them — All right; hold the phone. (They wait. Presently enter Cook, out of breath. He takes up ear piece.) Cook — Hello! Hello! Who? Oh, is that you, Annie — t-:at s my married sister, fellows — Yes, what ' s the trouble? What!! Who? Richard Wagner? Oh, the Baby. Yes, what happened? Stolen! uh — Ah — that ' s all right. I— ah — that is, Fannie — Mr. Jaspar, I mean — met a man with a baby carriage — Yes. thought he was running away with it — What? Yes — took it away from him — man ran away — Yes, that ' s all right, he ' s asleep — Yes, bring him round in a minute. (CURTAIN) HARRY L. SULLY, ' 03. A Farcc In One Act POLITESSE?

A string of tradesmen ' s errand lads had % been leaving parcels at the front door all the ' morning. Mae Ann, the usually slatternly maid-of-all-work, was resplendent in a clean white apron and cap, and the young mistress was wearing her best figured-silk blouse. At length a cab pulled up at the door and a dozen curious neighbors, concealed behind the curtains of their respective front windows, noted with interest the setting down of a stout, determined looking lady. The wordy argument with the cabman over the fare reached their ears, and each nodded with an I told you so air, and rejoinced in the knowledge that young Mrs. Twank ' s mother-in-law had come to spend a few weeks at No. 418 First. Extortion, that ' s what it is! exclaimed the indignant lady, pecking at her daughter ' s cheek. Mae Ann, see that that low cab-driver fellow puts all my boxes down in the hall; I don ' t like his face. The cabman heard this remark and, jerking the luggage viciously into the diminutive front garden, climbed delib- erately on to the box. You put ' em in the bloomin ' ' all yerself, he shouted, derisively. Four good miles for a bare three tanners, sixpennuth o ' coppers, and two three-penny-bits! My ' eavings, aunty! Whipping up his horse he dashed away, and the neighbors resumed their several occupations with smiles. A shade of annoyance passed over the face of Mrs. Frankie Twanks as she caught sight of that horrid woman Mrs. Howe, enjoying the situation from her window, and she ventured a mild remonstrance. Now, Frankie, don ' t you put me out too! snapped Mrs. More. The annoyance and discomfort I ' ve suffered this blessed day has made me in no mood to stand any further nonsense. If I ' d have known what the journey was likely to be, nothing would have persuaded me to move a yard from my own doorstep. Now, girl, don ' t stand gaping there! Get that luggage into tL house. Bless my life, what a reception! There, it ' s ail right, mother, said the daughter, af- fectionately. Come and take your things off, there ' s a dear. I ' m so glad you ' ve managed to come; so is Willie. I don ' t know so much about that! exclaimed the old lady, tartly. Mothers-in-law are generally accounted un- welcome visitors Why, m.y stars, Frankie! Whenever did you get that horible hanging? Bottle green? Ugh! What a bilious abomination! Grumbling and snorting, she divested herself of her bon- net and sat down for tea. Twanks was a bank clerk, and as harmless and amiable an individual as one could meet. His fellow-clerks called him Little Willie, and everybody regarded him as a good sort — all, save one, and that one was his mother-in- law. I hope he treats you well, my dear. Mrs. More was sayirg, as she sipped her sugarless tea. You know I never had any great faith in Twanks, but eligible young men are not to be snubbed these days. There was always something sinister in his appearance to my mind — a shifty, crafty look that, in my opinion, stamped him as a man with a not altogether creditable past. I never did like these smug faced men! Willie isn ' t smug, if he is round-faced, returned the That young wife, warmly. He ' s as good as gold, and I wouldn ' t ■I Ml • have married any other man breathing. Villain T anks - h, well, I talked like that once, snorted the mother, wan s Let ' s hope you won ' t be deceived. Always keep him well under your thumb. You ' ll find — Well, Mae Ann; what is it? A telegram for master, if you please, ma ' am, an- nounced the maid; and the boy wants to know if he is to take back an answer. Well, don ' t stand gaping there. Give it to me What ' s this? ' Willie Twanks ' ! Um! someone who knows him extremely well, I should jndge. Here, Frankie, ope:i it. Oh, no; I never open Willie ' s correspondence, said Mrs. Twanks, with a blush. He probably wouldn ' t like it. Stuff! ejaculated the mother. I never heard tell of such nonsense. Is there no understanding between you? I always read your father ' s letters, and there was no question about it! Open it and don ' t be stupid. I ' d rather not, mother, if you don ' t mind, returned Frankie, quietly. Pooh! what foolishness! snapped the old lady fum- ing. The boy ' s waiting for an answer. Here, I have no silly scruples; and fixing her glasses, she tore open the cover. Why what ' s this? She sprang to her feet with blazing eyes and tightened lips. My gracious! she gurgled. The villain! ' ihe scoundrel! But I knew it! Oh; the monster! Mother, cried Frankie. springing up in affright. What is it? Mrs. More gulped, backed one or two spasmodic steps and waved the message about irrationally. I knew it! I knew it! she iterated. Oh, the base wretch to deceive my innocent child so shamefully. Mother! what in the name of goodness do you mean? queried Mrs. Twanks, distractedly. What has Willie done? Done! What has he not done? cried Mrs. More, tragi- cally. Read it! Oh that I should have lived to see this day! Read it for yourself. Mrs. Twanks snatched the crumpled message and read it quickly. Then she threw it to the floor and begun sob- bing bitterly. Girl! go and fetch a cab this instant! commanded Mrs. More, to the open-mouthed maid. Frankie, compose yourself; we will expose the deceiver ' s perfidy and pro- claim it to the world. What will you do? sobbed the distracted wife. Do? returned the mother. Why, face the brazen minx in her hiding-place and force the truth from her lips. Get your hat and cloak; we will not waste a minute. But it can ' t be true. It must be a hoax. Don ' t deceive yourself, my poor child, groaned Mrs. More. I feared there was something in that man ' s life which was hidden. I am never deceived in any face. Thank goodness I am here to see you righted. But, come; here ' s the cab. Be brave. Oh, Mr. Twanks, wait till I put my eyes on you. Cabman — Adelphi Hotel! she cried, and the two were whirled rapidly away to the silent astonishment of the neighbors and the audible — Well, I never! from the bewildered Mae Ann as, shutting the vestibule door, she slipped into the draw- ing-room and picked the telegram up. With some diffi- culty she spelled it out. May arrived. Expect you, Room 23, Adelphi, to-night. Jenn. Sakes alive! she exclaimed, supressing the shriek that came to her lips. Well! who ' d ha ' thort it? An ' ' im, above all others, who ' s never tried to kiss me onct since I ' ve been here. Wot a bad ' um! Oh, wouldn ' t I jest like to see ' im when ' is mother-in-law get ' im. ' eavens! Her mutterings was cut short by the grating of a key in the front door and she flew to the kitchen. It ' s ' im! she whispered; Oh, my goodness, wot shall I do? The door opened and Twanks stepped inside the hall with an anticipatory A-ah! But there was no loving wife to greet him with the customary kiss. Thinking that the restraining presence of her mother withheld her he divested himself of his coat and hat, and stepped into the dining-room, with the habitual good-natured smile on his face. He was nonplussed. He peered into the draw- ing-room. All was silent. He noted its disorder with amazement. He strode along the hall to the kitchen. The trembling girl heard him coming and backed into the scullery. Well, Mae Ann, he said, cheerily, Where ' s your mis- tress? She ' s ou — out, sir, stammered the girl. Out! That ' s strange. Where ' s she gone? She — w-went out w-w-with Mrs. M-M-M-More about ten minutes ago, stuttered the girl; and if you please, sir, I should like to go. Go! Where to? Home, sir, returned t he girl. I can ' t stop here any longer. Great Scott! What ' s the matter with the girl? ex- claimed Twanks, bewilderedly. That telegram in the drawing-room, quavered Mae Ann. Telegram! Twanks strode back and entered the room. Frouncing upon it he rapidly scanned its contents and rushed back into the kitchen. The girl recoiled at his wild look and sent up a shriek of terror. Mae Ann, he shouted, fiercely; where ' s your mis- tress? She ' s gore in a cab with her mother to the Adelphi ' otel. Confound it! yelled Twanks, smiting his brow. What P j t a kettle of fish! Jennings, you beggar, I ' ll owe you one lor this! Springing to the stand he threw on his coat and dashed out into the street like a madman. Sprinting to the cab-stand he jumped inside a vacant vehicle. Cab- by, he yelled, The Adelphi Hotel, and drive like the blazes. The cabman did his best, and he was rattled along in record time to the hotel. Wait, he shouted, spring- ing from the cab ere it had pulled up, and he tore up- stairs to Room 23. The sound of an irate feminine voice reached him as he strode along the corridor, and he knew his mother-in-law had arrived. Striding into the room he confronted them. A tall, good looking fellow, who was protesting with a wealth of ges- ture on the hearth rug, rushed forward and clasped his hand. ' By George, Willie, he cried, fervently; I ' m glad you ' ve come! Frankie, Twanks panted, running to his tearful wife. Mother! Mrs. More held him with her awful eye. Now, sir, she said, determinedly; perhaps you ' ll be good enough to explain the meaning of that telegram? Why, certainly, returned Twanks. This is my old friend, Sam May, who has just arrived from Cairo. He ' s a traveler, you know. He and Charley Jennings and my- self have m.ade it an invariable rule since we left school to meet every year for a little reunion. I ' m awful sorry. Frankie, I ought to have told you. Mrs. More gasped. Mrs. Twanks, with a glad little cry,, leaped to her husband ' s arms. May stood amazed. Will you explain, Mrs. More? he said, presently. I ' m entirely in the dark. Mrs. More glared at him, unseeingly. Her head was in a whirl. The awkward silence was broken by the entrance of a young man. I beg your pardon! he exclaimed, sur- prisedly. I hope I don ' t intrude. Villain Twanks German Storiette Hello, Charley, cried May, gripping his hand. Here we are again! Twanks disengaged himself. Charley, he said, let me introduce you to my wife and my respected mother-in- law. Frankie, this is Jennings! Excuse me, young sir, burst out Mrs. More, but are you the person who sent that telegram? What telegram? The one sent to Willie Twank this afternoon signed ' Jenn, ' gasped out Mrs. More. Certainly I am, madam, returned Charley Jennings, politely. I thought it was a girl, exploded Mrs. More. And then the humor of this much excited situation struck Jennings, and he hastily retired to the opposite corner with Mr. May, and the two had such a hearty and good laugh that their sides ached the whole evening. In tae meantime Mrs. More had made her exit. MORTON J. RAVEN, ' 03. Das Erlebniss Eines Krueppels. Es war ein kalter Wintertag. Der Wind schuettelte das kleme Bauern-Haus bis auf die Gruendmauer. Die Sonne, schon weit im Westen, warf ihre letzten Strahlen lieu- lich durch das kliene Fenster. Die Gestalt eines Kindes neigte sich ueber das Feuer. Eine Kruecke nebea Kindes neigte sich ueber das Feuer. Eine Kruecke nebeii dem Stuhl erzaehlt ihre trauige Geschickte. Dies war eitie Ursache, warum der Hans an diesem Christtag nicht In der Stadt war. Gleichfalls muss auch jemand zu Hause bleiben, um den Geld-Sack dem Hausherrn zu geben, wenu er seinen jaehrlichen Besuch macht. Dies ist ein Vergnuegen fuer Hans und, als es klopft ' j. ruft er heiter, Komm ' herein, Aber was fuer einen Be- sucher sieht er vor sich! Der Raufbold erklaert sein Yev- largen mit drohenden Toenen, waehrend der Knabe, zit- ternd, seinen Stuhl erklettert. nimmt den Sat- in seine Hand; bedenkt sich, greift seine Kruecke und mit aller Gewalt, wirft sie dem Landstreicher an den Kopf Der Mann faellt betaeubt zurueck. Sogleich, schluepfte das Kind vorbei, zur Thuer hinaus und den Pfad entlang. Ploetzlich haelt er, nimmt einige Bretter auf, wirit si e zur Seite und hinkt weiter. Mit einem teuflischen Ausdruck im Gesicht verfolgt ihn der Landstreicher; seine Haende streckt er schon aus. Aber er verschwindet und faellt nieder in die Tiefe ein s leeren Brunnen. Schnell kehrt der Knabe um, zieht die Bretter zurueck und steht wie ein Waechter daneben. Die Stille der naechsten halben Stunde ist ungestoert mit der Ausnahme von den Fluchen des Gefangenen, wenn er die Wand erklettert. In dem Augenblick, da is seine erstarrten Finger erscheinen, faellt die Kruecke grausam darauf, bis der Mann zurueck faellt. Nochmals und nochmals wird dies wiederholt. Die Senne geht unter und der kalte Wind wird noch kael- ter. Schauernd zieht der Knabe seinen Rock fest um sich; aber Huelfe ist bei der Hand. Die Eltern sind zurueck- gekehrt. Sie erbeuten den Landstreicher und tragen den getreuen, kleinen, bewusstlosen Waechter zaertlich in ' s Haus, lassen den Artz kommen und schenken ihm kleine Aufmerksamkeit. Eine lange Zeit wird der arne kleine Leib mit Schmertz gefoltert aber der Knabe ist froher. als er je gewesen, denn hatte er nicht treu geholfen? AMY G. LUKE.

HARRY L. SULLY, ' 03. Was Me V orthless ? 4 HE dry north vrmd blew the sand up againtt the station door and through the cracks of the windows, covering the agent ' s papers and causing that important personage to say unmentionable things. The loungers moved uneasily on their rough seats by the door and tried to protect their faces from the driving particles, while two women waiting for the Fresno train covered their faces with the capes of their cloaks. It was hot. No life was visible on the gray, unmovable Mohave desert, stretching far to the east, and the hotises of the little village back of the station were silent. The gleaming rails of the Santa Fe were hid in places by the shifting sands. All that broke the clear level of the desert were the spikes of the cactus and the occasional sage brush. A young man came around the corner of the station hotise and slouched past, seating himself on an upturned keg. His clothes were untidy and the ragged brim of his hat half concealed a face hopeless in its expression. There ' s that worthless Dick Felton, said one of the men. Wonder what he ' s going to do now? He ' ll never stick to anything. ' ' HimI Stick to anything? I guess not! He ' s abctit as worthless as they make them. replied the other. He ' ll come to some bad end, stire! I don ' t know. broke in a third, hesitatingly, I hate to think there ' s ro good in that young man. Seems to me there must be something deep down in his nature. Not much! replied the first. What do you know about him? Nothing, save that he ' s never kept steady at a place over two months (and he has been here three years now) — always changing about from hither to yon. You can never depend on him, and it ' s enough to give a fellow the Dlues to have him around — he ' s so infernal grouchy. I know, I know. responded the third. He ' s had a past. I ' ll tell j ' ou, broke in the second. Something terrible, too. to break down the ambition and go of a yctmg man like that. The two women nudged one another, and one said: There ' s that vagabond, Dick Felton. Yes. such men as he should be run out of town. le- plied the other. We ' ll be well rid of such loungers if I had nij- way The slouchy youth paid no attention to the loungers after he had seated himself, but, with his chin on his hands, all unmindful of the driving sand, looked off into the dis- tance with unseeing ej es. Who was this Dick Felton? Why was he without ambition or backbone? V Tiat had been his past? A little over three years ago Dick Felton was a careless, easy-going, prank-loving Freshman in the University of California. Although a fairly good student, the profs were down on him because of hts reputation for practical jokes, and many a prank was laid at his innocent door. One of his firm friends — in truth, his evil genius — in col- lege, was Harry Sampton. for whose pretty sister Louise, he had a decided liking. Unlike his frank, honest sister, Harry was deceitful, and delighted in making a catspaw of good-natured Dick. One morning a detested Latin professor awoke to find his reports and clothes missing, and a horrible caricattire of himself painted in green on his front door. He also found, alas, a knife on the floor with Dick F. and tlie sign of the Delta Tau, Dick ' s Frat, cut in the handle. The amazed professor, with the knife and his tale of woe, caused Dick, whom he hated, to be summoned before the tribunal of the faculty. There Dick, recognizing the knife and knowing he had lent it to Harry, remained silent during an hour ' s trial. No alibi could he furnish, for he and some other freshmen had played another joke that same night. And so, with pale face and firm-set lips, he listened to the words which barred him from the Univer- sity foreer. As his father read it in the morning papers, his heart nearly broke, but with the sternness and pride of his Puritan forefathers, he closed the door of his home upon the son who had disgraced his name forever. So Dick, bitter and despairing, had jumped aboard the first south bound train, and with ten cents and a hand satchel of clothes, had landed in the little dried up village on the edge of the Mohave desert. Since then he had earned just enough to eat. This morning Dick was feeling worse than usual, for last night he had heard that Dr. Sampton and family were looking for a ranch up the valley. Isn ' t it enough that I should suffer alone here without they ' re coming to make it ten times worse? he groaned to himself. I can ' t face Louise — I ' d better die. This morning he had not gone to his work, and now sat here brooding over his wrongs, unaware of what was go- ing on around him. As the hands of the old clock points nearer and nearer to the time for the north going train, two specks appear in the distance, growing larger and larger with each tick. The loungers idly wonder who it is, and speculate with one another as to whether the riders will make the trai?. Soon it is seen that they a,re a girl and a man, their horses on the dead gallop for the train, ahead of its schedule for once, is already in sight, cutting its way through the sand. Felton pays no attention to the rumble of the approaching train. But suddenly he gg J- g is startled out of his brooding by — Worthless Oh, oh, she will be killed! Save her, quick! Oh, someone save her! Dick looks up and sees a girl lying prostrate on the rails before the rapidly approaching train. Her horse had stumbled and thrown her, and her companion had shot by, unable to help her. Neither the engineer or any otner mortal pov er can stop the engine in time, and there is no one near brave enough to draw her out of danger at his own peril. There is no hope — A tall figure jumps down the embankment, and the loungers, with a gasp of surprise, see the worthless Dick Felton stoop and fling the girl out of danger at his own sacrifice. The engineer closes his eyes as Dick is caught and thrown in a huddled heap to one side. Three weeks later a hopeless cripple opened his eyes to meet the tearful, yet happy gaze of a beautiful girl stand- ing by his bedside. His eyes filled with wonder, but he attempted a feeble smile, a,nd asked waveringly, Did — I — save the girl? You did, Dick, came in a rather faltering voice from a sad, careworn face, young yet old, bending towards him. a hard look came into his eyes for a moment. Yes, Dick, you saved her — she was Louise. Oh, Dick, forgive me. I owned up to it soon after you left, and I too have suffered since that night three years ago, and he took hold of Dick ' s wasted hand. Forgive me, my sen, said a v hite-haired old gentle- m_an who took his other hand. Yes — I — forgive — you — both. Forgive — me — too. Louise — is — it — you? Come! FOSTER, ' 03 The Berkeley High School. « In the fall of the year 1880 seven young people — the nucleus of Berkeley High School — v ere engaged In the course of study prepared by the Board of Education, and in 1883 the first student, John C. Dorin, was graduated. Meantime the course of study had been added to so that the school was able to prepare students for the University of California. Since that time the course has been so en- larged tnat the Berkeley High School prepares its students for study in any college of the State University, to which it was first accredited. Mary of the students graduated by the Berkeley High School take the opportunity offered by the nearby State University and study further under its tutelage. The High School has had four principals — W. W. Ander- son, who sserved from 1882 to 1884; H. Veghte, from 1884 to 1890; b. D. Waterman, who is now City Superintendent in Berkeley, 1890 to 1899; and our present principal, M. C James. At the establishment of the school there were two teach- ers, and now we have nineteen. At first the High School classes, in conjunction with the grammar grades, were held in the old Kellog building on Center street, but the increasing number of studerts de- manded larger and more convenient quarters. At length, after many failures, the cornerstone of a new High School building was laid on February 22, 1901, and the dedication took place in October of the same year. Study has not been the only development of the school. In athletics the boys have practiced faithfully on diamond, gridiron and track, and have received several trophies, ' ihe Forum has trained the school ' s debaters and some excellent speeches have rewarded its labors. The literary spirit of the school has shown itself in the Olla Podrida, the school organ, which, during the nine years of its life, has steadily improved. Miss Carlin, a teacher in our History Department, has instigated the establishment of a museum which has had an active growth in interest and in value. Music is not neglected in the school curriculum, and in addition to the regular singing exercise every morning by the whole school, under Mrs. Sweesy ' s direction, Mr. Waterman has organized a school orchestra. Our members are increasing rapidly with the growth of Berkeley. All of those interested in the school hope that it will continue to grovv in spirit, too — spirit for earnest, systematic study, as well as for other school activities. HELEN ROBINSON, ' 03. THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT. Miss McLean Miss Curtis Miss Roller A CHARACTER SKETCH OF A FRIEND. A maiden young she was, and fair to see, Beloved by all, wherever she might be. Her smile was warm, betraying thus her heart, For charity played there the chiefest part. Her nature could not harm the meanest thing, And balm for hidden wounds she e ' er did bring. Unconscious of herself — her greatest charm, Her only thought to save her friends from harm. Her eyes looked kindly forth to meet your :;aze. With loving blame, and sweet, judicious praise. The greatness of her soul one might not see, For clothed was she with fitting modesty. ' Twas thus she e ' er concealed her wisdom great. Lest others, she might seem to underrate. This thought for others, joined with modest mien. Became her well, although she seemed a queen. A dignity of soul was in her walk, A graciousness abounded in her talK. So kind she was to all, so thoughtful too. That all who met her loved her through and through. But oh, that greatest gift — unselfishness, Was her ' s — to what extent no one might guess. ' Twas in her home-life that this gift shone best. Where none might see her tender offices. As sister there she made the home seem brighter, As daughter fair she made all toil grow lighter. And lovingly she ministered to each, With thoughtful acts, and sweet and kindly speech. Her dear example taught us all to know. That we might make a heaven here below. Unconscious still she toiled till setting sun, In patience waiting for the Lord ' s Well done. IRENE GAINES, ' 03. CASSIUS ' SPEECH.

You all have heard how noble Brutus did Drive from the streets of Rome the Tarquin king; And that our ancestors pronounced a curse On all who tried that power to regain. In this hour a Brutus no less noble — But why need I extol his qualities. You all do know his honor and his worth — Upheld by a great concourse of the best And wisest senators, who put an end To the career of a false Roman who Aspired to kingly power. Shout freedom, franchise, and self-government! You, friends, so long by tyranny held back. May rise, yourselves, to fill the consul ' s chair, Your sons become proud senators of Rome, Beneath the leadership of noble Brutus. Your homes shall prosper, you in wealth increase.

Roderick, said James, thou art here at last. Now on thy misdeeds of the past I can pass judgment fair and true. And make a better man of you. Before these noble men and good I pardon you, as a just king s hould. I ask no pardon from you, my lord. Even though conquered with your sword.

A XT As we take up our pen for the last time to address you, fellow students, Iumni there comes over us a feeling of sadness Spirit. and of gladness — sadness because we are parting from our dear old High School and gladness at the thought our work is done. Did we say we are sad at part- ing from high school? We made a mistake, for we are not, should not, part from Berkeley High Schoo l. We are only going out into a larger school where we can be of more benefit to our Alma Mater. O students and graduates, form a closer Alumni Association — an association who will haA ' e the true interest of the school at heart, and who will sup- port the crimson and gold upon all occasions! Don ' t drift away from your old classmates and your school, but keep in touch with them. A good, strong Alumni Association, be it of college or of high school, is one of the very best organizations for the furtherance of scholastic spirit. No one has yet compassed the extent to which its benefits will extend. It can become a powerful factor for good among the undergraduates, and it can make the school far more social than it has been. Moreover, in time of need, when a debt hangs over the ol.d school ' s head, the alumni can pay it off with but little exertion through an entertain- ment. The graduates owe to the school a debt of gratitude, and they should try to pay it off. Naughty Three Class, as soon as you receive your precious diplomas, pay your dollar to the Almuni Association and then take hold of it and make it a new association which will stand for some- thing besides the mere name. Make it an active part of high school; make it the foster parent of those under classes; make it an example for the others to look up to — a noble, helpful band of people bound together for the common good of all and their high school. Spir Although this subject is nearly worn School threadbare, we feel that we still ought irit ° more words upon it. The- school spirit of Berkeley High School has. been very good for the past year, much better than before, but there is still room for improvement. The school is not yet a unit. While it has turned out very well to all ath- letic contests and has supported the boys well financially, there is still an element of disunity among the students. We hope that before next year has ended this feeling will have entirely disappeared and that the school will hang together as one person, both in social affairs and in ath- letics. The exaggerated feeling aginst fraternities has given away to a more sensible understanding, and the fraternity people have even attended the school dances. Both those in the fraternity and out of it have realized that after all they are only high school pupils and that their main aim should be to promote their individual interests. When every fraternity person comes to fully realize this, the school will be one solid unit and the honor and glory of the crimson and gold will be their honor and glory. T-. 1 When a school starts on a hazardous y enterprise to print a paper for good or- oupport 01 gvil, the support of everyone is needed. Paper. As the paper, generally a good factor, ad- vances and grows, it certainly needs the support of the- •entire school. Now, we ' ll admit that there are both bad .and good points in a paper, and it may be due to a mis- conception of these that so few high school papers liave the support of their faculty. The individual benefit gained is great, but on the other hand the management of the paper may use the paper as a catspaw to get out of study- ing. This, however, is the exceptional case. Of course a paper may be used as a weapon in a school which is divided, but this is an almost unheard of case. The school Tpaper is the only factor in school life which will bring out the writing capacity of the students and train the young authors and artists. It keeps the affairs and needs of the school before the students ' eyes. Now, if a faculty allows a paper to be started with its support, it shouia stand by it until some flagrant evil is discovered, not only by them but also by the school of which it is the organ. Now, during the past three or four years the 011a Podrida has not received the support of the faculty. During the past year many teachers have openly expressed their disap- l)roval of the paper and refused to support it. Now, a school paper cannot exist in this manner long. When the teachers get down on the staff, they begin, unconsciously ■perhaps, to pick out flaws in those persons ' work which they never found before. Under these conditions, burdened TDy the paper and the extra hardness of their course, it is almost impossible for the heads of the staff to escape being cinched. Now, it is too hard work to have to get out the paper, do your studies, and then find the teachers working aginst you. Now, faculty of the Berkeley High High School, if pou can ' t support the high school paper and aid it all you can, don ' t have it. Abolish it and don ' t make the editor and manager suffer because you don ' t like it. We think if you took a little time to think about it, you would find more good than evil in the paper. Remember, if you can ' t support the paper, don ' t have it. Now, fellow-students, the time has come p, 11 ( ° part, and we must lay down our pen. rareweli. spite of the difficulties and the hard work, we have had a happy year here to- gether, and it is with regret that we leave. We have tried our hardest to do the best we could for your benefit, and whether we have succeeded or not, it is for you to say. But before we say farewell, we wish to extend our sin- cere thanks to Friend Wm. Richardson, proprietor of the Gazette, and to the staff of the pressroom, particularly to Charles W. Williams, the head job printer, and Robert Thorsen, the head pressman, to whom we owe a great deal for the kind advice and assistance they have always given us. And now we must say that sad word, Farewell; may your paths ever be blessed. Farewell! GLIMPSE OF UNIVERSITY GROUNDS etics The Track. Another year has gone by and Berkeley is forced to still acknowledge the supremacy in track athletics of her old rival, Oakland High. While the spring season of 1903 has not been so brilliant and successful as in previous years, yet the results are by no means discouraging. Sixth place in the A. A. L. field day does not signify that track athletics in the Berkeley High School has taken a step backward since last fall. This seacon more schools en- tered, making the A. A. L. the most hotly contested and successful meet ever held since the league originated. We secured second place in the B. C. L., defeating Lowell, cur close competitor. The season being an exceedingly busy one, it was impos- sible to arrange meets with other schools around the bay. Actual competition is splendid training for a team, and especially for new. inexperienced men. The interclass and Modesto field days afforded such opportunity. It is to be hoped that at least one dual meet can be arranged each year with one of the schools of the State, as it in- creases interest in track affairs, gets more men out on the track, and gives the younger fellows a chance to win points. In the A. A. L. of course, only veterans can take places. The Modesto trip gave more men a chance and brought out some younger boys, who will be heard from in a year or so. Modesto entertained us well, and both of the competing teams learned something, I think. Although defeated we met a good team, which was demonstrated when Modesto competed in the A. A. L. Captain Kyle deserves a great deal of credit for the un- tiring interest he has shown in the development of a team and the encouragement he always gave to the younger fellows while training. His style of running is good and clean, and by improving as he has done this season he- will some day be a record smasher. He secured second place in the B. C. L., and ran a fine ha lap in the relay in the A. A. L., but unfortunatelj ' he was crowded on the turn and kept from gaining a big lead for the team. James Blakemore did what was expected of him by break- ing the shot-put record in the B. B. C, putting the shot 46 feet, 11 inches. Besides this he made second place in the hammer throw. In tne A. A. L. he made a second in each of his events. He put the shot 46 feet, 6% inches, and threw the hammer 152 feet, 6 inches. Hume in the B. C. L. established a new record in the 220 hurdles, running them in 28 flat. He also ran a good race in the 120-yard hurdles, getting second place. In the- A. A. L. he again captured first in the 220-yard hurdles, and ran a fast lap in the relay. He will make a valuable acquisition to the college team. Sweesy proved to be a clever performer in the broad jump, leaping 21 feet, ly inches in the Modesto meet. In the B. C. L. field day, though spraining his ankle severely the second time he jumped, still his first jump was far enough to capture second place for him. His fine lap-running helped to form a fast relay team. Dykes has in him the making of a good 440-yard man, as was discovered in inter-class field day. Much is ex- pected of him next year in this event. His good work on the relay team also deserves mention. Gaines ' good work in the two-mile affords a good ex- ample for all the younger men in the B. C. L. He worked and worked hard in the face of all difficul- ties, and success at last crowned his efforts. Segal showed in the B. C. L. that he has speed, making third in the 50- yard. Miller, our crack half-mile man. seems to get a place in his event no matter how many fast men are in training. He ran second in the B. C. L. and third in the A. A. L. He should make a hard fight for first next year. Running a very fast lap in the relay is another event he specializes on. Bruce Barnes, Freuler, Evers. Claude Kruss, Wilkinson, Jsmes Blakemore Clark. Navone, Helm, Conoily. Dick Shaffer, Herbert Blakemore. Charles Monson, and Eldridge deserve mention for their faithful and conscientious work. The places left vacant by Kyle and Hume will be hard to fill next year. But wi th those remaining and the new men that will be developed a good team should represent Berkeley High next year. In behalf of the B. H. S. track team I would like to thank the High School for the support they gave the team, and also Walter Christie of the U. C. for the kind interest lie took in our team. EUWIN KRUSE, Manager. r Royal Miller Photos by Ed Hart Champion- ship Base- ball Team, 1903 The Diamond. Again has Berkeley put forth a championship baseball team. After last season some of our strongest players left school and every one thought that we would be put out of the League the first thing. But by diligent practice and new suits to give us inspiration a championship team was gotten together that was a revelation to its supoorter. We took a number of trips this j ' ear and in every instance we had a substitute and crippled team. Not until nor first League game had the team played together; but on that day we showed the wise ones who thought we had no show, what we could do by defeating Alameda, and next we make quick work of Oakland. Then O. P. H. S. was disposed of, leaving us champions of the Central Sub-League, and also winners of the Sub-League cup. As this is the third time in succession we ha e won it the cup is ours for good. Palo Alto beat Lick in the city game, so that left Palo Alto to play Berkeley for the championship. The game was scheduled for Saturday morning. May 2, 19o3, at Freeman ' s Park, Golden Gate. The team went down accompanied by a small band of faithful rooters. After a preliminary practice the team sat down and waited for Palo Alto who, by a mistake, was about a nhour late. With them they had a wonderful pitcher that struck out not lessthanfourteenagame q-u ' auwhen in the course ofa not less than fourteen a game. Again the wise ones put their heads together and declared that surely this time we would be defeated. Well, the game started, and up to the seventh the score was 3-0 our favor, then Palo Alto went to pieces, and when the game was over Berkeley had 11, Palo Alto 3. We had won the championship. We certainly demonstrated in our League games that we had the best fielding end batting team in the League. The infield worked like clock-work, and th eoutfield was with us. The whole season we never found a pitcher we couldn ' t hit. Behind the bat we had Jimmy Shaffer. This was Jimmie ' s first season in the team, and as the season progressed he improved more and more. He had a good eye and will be of great value next season. Our staff artist was Ben McCoy. This is Ben ' s first year on the team and before he graduates he will make a sec- ond Plummer. He is a hard worker and has a cool head, and whenever Ben was in the box we were sure of win- ning. Charles Monson played first base. At second base we had the Big Leaguer ' Flatiron Witham. This was Jim ' s second year on the team, and he played the second bag like a demon. He was a sure thrower and a good batter. At third base we had our old reliable, Winkle. To say that Wink Farrar played in his form of two years ago is enough. His throwing was fast and sure, and his stick work above the average. At shortstop we had one of the best players for that position Berkeley High ever had. Charles Robinson, or Gabriel. is the name of this illustrious personage. As for covering ground and steaing bases he had not an equal in the League. He was a sure hitter, and by leading off could always be relied upon to get to first base. In left field we had King Sweesy. our third baseman of last year. As an outfielder King ' s equal was never found the whole season. Besides covering an acre of ground his catching was sure. He was also a good batter. In center field we had Narrow Gauge Mac, developed into a fast fielder, and could always be relied upon to get a hit when needed. In right field we had the human truck horse, Al Solin- sky. He was death on anything in the way of fly balls that came within his reach. He will be a good addition to aext year ' s team. F. Monson was our substitute, and could always be de- pended upon to fill in a vacancy. He shouldm ake the team next year. Before I close I wish to thank Mr. James in behalf of the team for the interest and support he has given us. CHARLES MONbON, Captain. J«. Iti ' iti ' TENNIS The year just passed has been a very successful one for.™ tennis, and greater interest has been shown in it than ever ' before. The High School team has played practice matches with Tamalpais Military Academy, Trinity School, and Oakland High School, accounts of which have appeared in recent issues of the school paper. The doubles team. Clinch and McKay, played in the A. A. L. tournament on April 25th, and after winning from Lick in the preliminary round, they were defeated in the semi-finals by Lowell High School. In the singles we were beaten in the pre- liminary round by Gibson of Bates University School. Marius Hotchkiss of Lick, won the tourament, defeating Gibson in the finals. The events which are proving a great success and which are occupying the attention of all the players, are the prize tournaments which were started by Mr. Young, the Physics Instructor. The tournaments are played for valuable prizes, which were generously giv« n by some of the merchants of Berkeley. There are four prizes in both singles and doubles. The first prize in singles was won by Mr. Young and Mr. Hackley. The second place tournaments are now being played. A Tennis Association was formed at the beginning of the term, and Lawrence Jennings, ' 03, was chosen president. He also secured matches with the different schools, and it is due mainly to his efforts that we were successful (during the past year. It is to be hoped that next term ' interest will be renewed in the game, so that a strong team can be secured. Among the players who are rapidly coming forward are Powell, Bush and Cheney brothers, and with constant practice they will become experts at the game. RAYMOND CLINCH. THE GIRLS ' TENNIS CLUB. The girls are now taking quite an interest in tennis. Although as yet they have no court of their own, neverthe- less they have played together. Two tryouts have been held, one in singles, the other in doubles. Some of the girls showed very good playing, while others needed constant practice. The girls are now trying to secure the money for a court at school. As usual, Mr. Young is taking an interest in it and doing all he can to help the girls along. On May 2 Miss Hotchkiss and Miss Edwards played in the Golden Gate Club tournament at the California courts in the city. Miss Hotchkiss did not come up to her usual mark, while Miss Edwards carried off the honors of the day by winning the championship in first class singles. NAUGHTY THREE. The Gridiron. While we did not win the championship last year, Berke- ley has no need to feel ashamed of her football career. We started out with only three of the last year ' s players, but by the constant efforts of Coachers Simms and Saeltzer, developed the new material into a successful team. Our first practice game with the U. C. Freshmen we losi by the score of 6-0. Next we played Polytechnic High School of San Francisco, winning by the score of 11-0, and had other practice games with both Stanford and U. C. i reshmen, where we did all that co uld ever be expected of any High School team. Our first A. A. L. Sub-League game resulted in a very promising outlook for the team, Berkeley winning from Stockton by the score 30-0. Oak- land High was our next victim. On a very sloppy field, in a close and exciting game, our old-time rivals went down in defeat by a very good sized score. This made us cham- pions of the Central Sub-League. We qualified for the finals by easily defeating St. Mathews at San Mateo in the semi-flnals by the overwhelming score of 24-0. The final game for the championship of the Academic League was played in San Francisco on November 22. At the close of the second half, after one of the hardest fought games that has happened in years, Lowell succeeded in scoring the only touch-down of the game, thus winning the Academic League championship for the year of 1902. Taking the season as a whole, Berkeley ' s team had a very successful year. There will be enough of last year ' s players back this coming fall so that Berkeley High may again hold the championship of the A. A. L., and if enough boys will come out for the different positions (for no one is sure of his job ) it will put more life into the game. Each man will work harder for his place, and the result will be a championship team. Captain Richard Mc- Questen was a star by himself, being the best end in the league. He alternated between left end and left half with Bob McKeown, a very gritty and reliable player. The other end was held down by Al Solinsky. Nick Dugan and Frank Fasten played right and left tackle respectively, and took good care that nothing went through their end of the line. Alfred Merritt and George Kerr were right and left guards, both being very large and heavy men, were able to break up many of the opposing team ' s plays. Center was very well looked after by Burt Mincher, who, despite being a light man, was there with the curtains every time. Bunny Monson played an exceptionally fine game at quarter, having good control of the team, and was a fine punter. Euwin Kruse, as right half, knew how to buck up the line like an old varsity player. Jack Patton gained many yards for us from his position as full back by his ability to go over a line, and was also good at straight bucks. Wendell Farrar and Melvin Grant played half and end in nearly all the league games. James Shaffer Bob Shuey and Dan Connally were able substi- tutes and made good when called upon. Walter Christie kindly looked after the boys ' training. Coaches Saeltzer and Symes were untiring in their efforts, and Mr. James very willingly gave us financial aid, be- sides taking a deep interest in the team, for which we wish to thank him. IVAN HAMILTON, Manager. Football Team of 1902 The B. M. S. Athletic Association. With the closing of the A. A. L. championship baseball game on Saturday, May 2, we ended one of the most suc- cessful years in all our athletic career. For not only did we win the A. A. L. championship in baseball, but also came in a close second in football. Neither the baseball nor the football team at the beginning of the season ex- pected to win at least any more than the sub-league, but by hard, conscientious work on the part of both teams, one won second and the other won first. Now that both seasons are ended, it is time that we consider what our prospects are for next season. Out of the football team we will only lose about four of the regu- lar team. With a nucleus of the other seven, a winning football team can be developed. There is no doubt that there will be plenty of competition over the places left vacant, as a great many likely candidates for this year ' s team will probably make the team next year. On the baseball team there will be four places left va- cant, and as there are plenty of good players among the lower classes, there is no doubt but that these places will be filled with competent payers. On the track is a good chance for an athlete to be devel- oped. Many of our best point winners when they first at- tempted track work were not what you would call suc- cesses, but by dint of hard training developed themselves into athletes that were good for points no matter where you put them. So there is a chance for everyone. No matter how much you hate to make your first appearance on the athletic field, do it for your own good and the good of the school. If any lack of time, or other reasons, will not warrant your appearance in active athletics, you can at least assist the team by your financial aid in the way of dues. The interest shown by the student body of the school in athletics has been very good, and for once the different teams have received the support due them. The games have been well attended and the rooting, under the able leadership of Mr. McKelvey and Mr. Jenkins, has been ex- ceptionally good. It is this interest shown by the school that makes the athletes strive so hard to win not only for their own personal glory, but for the glory of the school that is supporting him so well. Another improvement in the athletics of this year is the different spirit with which the players regarded the players of other schools. Although there might have been some slight friction between the rooters of the different schools, the players showed a friendly feeling toward each other throughout the entire year. The enthusiasm shown by our rooters was very credit- able; let us hope that the enthusiasm will not die out with the ending of this school year, but grow stronger in the ensuing years, for by showing your spirit you can help bring out teams that will win. K. SWEESY, President Athletic Association. The Forum. « The Forum has gotten alorg splendidly this last school term. Ths boj ' s have taken a keen interest in the worK, and the majority of them have done good, active work. When Luther Newhall took the chair as president of the society, he found a well organized body of active workers left by his predecessor, Homer Beedle. All the interest shown in the debates tended to- make a strong team to meet our old rival, Oakland High, in our customary annual contest with her debating society, the Senate. Alth-ough our boys did not carry off the honors of the debate, our society, and in fact the whole school, feels that our representatives did it justice and we are proud of their endeavors. There was a keen interest taken in the tryout debates for the honored position on our team, and after a well fought contest tne judges finally chose Homer Beedle, Luther Newhall and Samuel Batdorf to uphold the school ' s colors. A word or two might be said in this column to commend our boys in their actions during the evening of the debate. It was generally understood that the Oakland boys would participate in a rough house after the debate, but to the general satisfaction of both schools the rough house did not occur. The officers for the term were: President, Luther New- hall; Vice-President, Harry Jenkins; Secretary, Sam Bat- dorf; Treasurer, uudley Whitney; Sergeant at Arms, Homer Beedle. The possibilities for a successful year in the Forum next term are very strong. Many of the present Forum are Lower class men, and benefitted by this year ' s work, will return to make one of the. strongest Forums Berkeley High has ever possessed. Among these members are Bol- ton, HO ' lden, Shaffer, Batdorf, Beedle,, Frueler, Peterson, Jenkins, and Cheney — all experienced debaters. With such material, it will no. oe hard to pick a winning team — that is, if a new method of judging debates be discovered. Debating is one of the best adjuncts of school life, and every person in school should get practice in it. Nothing is of more value in after life to a man than to be able to speak well and intelligently. So you. the younger boys of the school, remember this, and as many of you as pos- sible join the Forum, not only benefitting yourselves, but helping to bring laurels won on the rostrum to dear old Berkeley High. WIGHT LASELL. Debating Team of 1903 The Berkeley High School Museum. The editor of the 011a Podrida has requested me lo write briefly on the Museum, and has suggested that I give some idea of the measure of success attained by the enter- prise. We must first turn to Miss Carlin, who had such an idea in mind for some years, but did not think it would prove a success until the present Middle Class of 1903 came In To them she suggested the idea, and before night there was a meeting and an election called, and now the Museum is as much of a success as it is possible for so young an enterprise to be. To succeed according to the ideas cf Miss Carlin, its founder, will require years of busy, faith- ful work on the part of those to whom the task is entrusted. The scheme undertaken this year by the Middle Class provides for a growing and permanent institution; the Museum is for the benefit of the entire school, but is to be put into the hands of each successive Middle Class, changing oflBcers each term. Walter Clark served as presi- dent the first term, and he and his successor have been cordially supported by the committees in charge of the various departments. A very creditable collection of his- torical relics and curios of all kinds has been gathered, and duly labeled and catalogued. The expense of printing books and cards was paid for by the receipts from the entertainment given on March 12. The most substantial gift received was from Sheldon Cheney, who generously contributed about half of the number of things received, representing several years accumulations in his private museum. Some of the most interesting things in the Museum are: models of boats useu by the natives of New Zealand, and also those used in the Arctic ocean; the last pen and rule used by Dr. Joseph Le Conte; native armor worn by the Samoan Islanders, made of cocoanut fibers interwoven with human hair, and a spear twenty-one feet in length, set with shark ' s teeth. We have also the ingrained trowel used in the laying of the Berkeley High School corner stone. The Middle Class of 03 commends it to the enterprise of the Middle Class of 1904, who are to become its custodians. If the industry, enery and enthusiasm that has marked the work for the Museum during the past year be carried on by you, we shall have a Museum to be proud of. It is a source of gratification that the Berkeley High School should be the first among the High Schools around the bay to inaugurate such a feature. Again we ask you all to think well of the B. H. S. Mu- seum, aid its ofiicers, and whenever you get a chance, secure a suitable gift to enlarge its collections. LEITH McKAY. Music in the Both instrumental and vocal music have been quite prom- inent in the High School durirg the present year, but in neither of these has the school yet begun to realize the possibilities that may result from careful attention to these subjects. As regards the sirgirg, great progress has been made, and all expect much in the year to come. Few schools in the country are favored with such a leader, and when our students fully appreciate their privileges in this matter, as they soon will, v� ' e may expect great things in the way of chorus and part-sorg singing. We have had systematic training in vocal music in the grades for only two years, and in the High School for only one year, and the results in most of the classes have been source of great pleasure. When the pupils who have received this training in the grades for several years reach the High School, the in- terest will be greater and the results even more satisfac- tory than they are now. Every pupil should have access to the words and the notes of the songs. There ought to be a book in the hands of every student. All should attend promptly the opening exercises every morning, and should enter heartily into the spirit of the songs that are sung. With 600 young people who are enthusiastic in the pursuit of any object — music, art, manual training, or any other branch of school work — success will come. We would again call the attention of our High School students to the fact, that they have the opportunity of a lifetime to secure clear insight into practical work in chorus and part-song singing. The leader has no superior and very few equals in the State; the music sung is of the first order; with a little earnestness on the part of each student, work may be done along this line that will be of High School. lasting beneflt to all concerned. I can, perhaps, do no better than to quote from the Annual Report of the Superintendent for the year ending June 30, 1900: Training in Vocal Music does for the pupil what nothing else will do so quickly or so thoroughly. It trains the eye, ear and voice; it is an excellent disciplinary agent; it secures an erect carriage of the body and the proper use of the lungs and throat; it develops all of the finer qual- ities of the mind arfd heart; it tends toward the making of better men and women; its refining influence in felt in every room and in every grade. Over ten years ago an orchestra was organized in the High School, and after a very successful life of six years, it died — lamented by all. In August last an attempt was made to re-organize, and the attempt has been, in a meas- ure, successful. Several of the important instruments have been lacking — especially the viola, the clarinet, the flute and drums. Still we have a nucleus for a splendid organ- ization, and with concerted action on the part of those who are nov members and of others who are interested in instrumental music, we expect to have a full orchestra next term. Those who have been members during the present year deserve great praise for their fidelity and promptness in attending rehearsals and for the real progress that has been made. They are: Violins — Miss Bradley, Miss Jim- mie Montgomery, Miss Samson, Miss Leslie Potwin, Miss Nina Monroe, Euwin Kruse, John Navone, Harry Bone, Edward Hart; cello, Raymond Bush; base viol, Charlie Church; trombone. King Sweesy; cornet, Burt Mincher and Willie Tyrell; piano. Miss Olive Morrish. S. D. WATERMAN. SCENE IN UNIVERSITY GROUNDS Social Life of Berkeley High. The end of another school year has come and with it the end of the good times for a while — but for some for- ever. There are other good times to be had elsewhere, but they are not the same as those enjoyed at school. The customary dance given by the Seniors and Middlers to the Juniors at the first of the year was returned in April. The Juniors have good cause to feel proud of themselves, for the dance was a success in every sense of the word. The invitations were said to be the nicest ever issued for a High School affair, and old Shattuck Hall, the standby for ages past, really looked pretty with its decorations of red and green. Following the old time custom, the Juniors and Middlers gave a farewell dance to the departing Seniors. Everyone enjoyed themselves; even the sedate and sorrowful Sen- iors acknov ledged that they forgot their numerous griev- ances and sorrows under the genial warmth of the dance. There was a Scrub dance in ' 02. The poor little abused Scrubs, shut out from all the rest of the school functions, plucked up their spirits and had a doing all their own. Sad to relate, though, some of the more giddy of the upper class people were mean enough to go and partake of the hospitality of the hitherto despised scrub. Of all mean things that was the meanest. During the winter months, there met what was calltd the B. H. S. Cotillion Club. There were about thirty members who came together once a month in the Town and Gown Hall. No club ever gave its m embers more enjoyment — if we can believe the words of those same- members. But som e one has said: Don ' t you do anything but dance down at your school? While dancing is very fine at times, we wouldn ' t for the world have outsiders believe that that is all we ever do. During the past year cur Superintendent, Mr. Water- man, has had one of his most earnest desires granted by the Board; in other words, singing has been introduced. Every morning the school aa a whole has come together for twenty minutes for this purpose. Owing to the efforts of the teacher, Mrs. Sweesy, the school has not only learnt many new songs but has heard good singers and musicians. Once more Berkeley High can boast an orchestra. Under the direction of Mr. Waterman, it was formed at the be- ginning of the year. The members of it, as well as the director worked hard throughout the year to make it a success, and it can safely be said that they have accom- plished their end. We hope that it will be kept up not, only next year, but always. Twice Mrs. Sweesy has proved the kind feeling that she entertains for our High School. She took entire charge of two cantatas, the first for the benefit of the orchestra, the second for the Athletic Association. Those who par- took deserved all the credit they got, for while there was undoubtedly a great deal of fun at the rehearsals, there was much more hard work. Speaking of hard work, reminds me that the Senior Class of 1903 would feel terribly slighted if I did not mention thei r play. The actors did the best they could for the class and received all kinds of praise and honor. The play this year was of much the same style as that presented last year. It was The Good-Natured Man, by Oliver Goldsmith. It had many humorous situations which were exceedingly well brought out. The cast was coached by Mr. Vere Hunter. Last, but not least, came the Senior Dance. Here the schoolmates of four years met together as one body for the last time. Of course we had a good time, but it was a different good time than those we had had before. Aren ' t you glad you have finished? or, I wish I was through school, was heard from the lips of some of the lower class people. We were and still we were not glad to be through. We must part — some of us forever. We must put aside frivilous things and enter upon the more serious realities of life. In all the English language there is not a sweeter and yet at the same time a sadder word than the word we now say to you — Goodbye. NAUGHTY THREE. OUR FAR-FAMED ALUMNI. April 25, 1938. It was the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the consolidation of the cities on the east side of the Bay of San Francisco. The Hon. Don Hickey, Minister to Japan, had just arrived on the airship Zephyr. He was enroute to Washington whence he had been summoned by Secre- tary of State Hackley with reference to the settlement of an affair which had arisen between the United State and Japan. It was to be a great day for Berkeley. Everyone will recall the fierce struggle and rivalry between the three cities, each contending their right for the naming of the united metropolis. The great speech of Senator Bertram Chaplin on that day will be long remembered in which he so eloquently argued that Berkeley should have preference as the great center for education not only for the interested cities, but for the entire State. (This was while Mr. Chaplin was still a member of the State Legis- lature, before he had been chosen Senator to the United States Congress.) Today there was to be a great assemblage in the Berke- ley Auditorium, and many leading citizens were to speak in commemoration of that great event. The Honorable Senator himself was to be present, as also were his colle- giate friends. Professors W. Esterly and H. Squires. Mrs. Elizabeth Syle — a distinguished authoress — had come for the occasion, and Mrs. Annie McCleave — a great club wo- man of note from New York — had chosen this opportunity for visiting her former home. Bryan Bell was to come out from his Washington mansion with his wife and two beau- tiful daughters. Mr. , second son of Mrs. Eugenia Kellen, and private secretary to the Governor, was to be among the honored guests. I laid the newspaper which I had been scanning on the table near by and glanced musingly at the article and at the name Charles Cheney at the bottom. I looked further and read that the Academy of Music would entertain in the evening, and that A Dimming Past, recently dram- atized by Vere Hunter, was to be presented. Strange my feeling as I called to mind my friends one by one and my school days in Berkeley. Then moved by sudden impulse I left the room for my own apartments, searched shelves, boxes and trunks— for what? My Berke- ley High School Class Pin! PLUMA DUTTON, ' 03.

So rich in treasures of her own. In her eyes a half-pensive smile. How sweet, how passing sweet, is solitude. An abridgement of all that was pleas- ant in man. A light heart lives long. And all his country beaming in his face. A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men. Neat and trimly drest. The stage I chose — a subject fair and free.

The following letter was recently found by the Editor, and he will give ten unused cinch notices to anyone who will guess the mediaeval author of it. All should try for the grand prize. The Letter. To the Maiden-Knight, of the Shield of the Golden Crest, the Lady Grace, Champion of Poetry, Countess of Piatt, on the Oneth Day of May, in the Year Our Gradua- tion, Nineteen Hundred and Three Times, from the Lord Henri Louis, Due de Sully, Poetaste and Champional of Poesy, This: To thee. O maiden of the Glowing Locks — 0 Knightess bold with weapon sure and true. Whose pen is mightier than a thousand swords, 1 send this challenge. For I, Lord Harry, Due de Sully, Knight And Lord High Keeper of the Kropery Eye, For metrical combat defiance send; For, by the Red Caps of Uie B. H. S., Thou hast, in sooth, poked various fun at me, My verses and my Lordship of the Pen. Such treatment from such hands I will not brook, Wer ' t thou the daughter of Calliope, Or of Euterpe ' s self and all the girls Of the Parnassan Hill or Grizzly Peak. You are the challenged Knight and your ' s Shall be the choice of weapons — say, an ode At forty paces or a duel fierce Of cut and thrust with — Shakespeare ' s sonnets sweet.

So, if thou beest unafraid, iet ' s fight, And I my second — a big man and strong, Right Sancho Panza Berthold Hews the Great — - Here name, that thou may know to whom to send Thy answer, coached in terms of chivalrous kindness. Another Mrs. VVi s and Her Cabbage Patch; or, the Senior Farm. It do seem to me Mrs. Wiggs, quoth that good lady ' s meddlesome neighbor, Mrs. Oaks, that you be a ' doin ' your plantin ' at a most onreasonable time. Why, I ' m sure them air things won ' t grow — don ' t stand to reason. Be ye? cherrily responded Mrs. Wiggs, lifting a very red face from the garden patch. Wall, now — it don ' t in my mind — these ain ' t common seed. Extra fine, the agent said they were, and I cal ' late to git a pretty good crop, and she looked determinedly into the squinty eyes just showing over the top of the lone fence. That individual hasten to add — Oh, well, plant yer stuff in August ef yer please, but it won ' t come up. And the skinny features disappeared from view while our good friend Mrs. Wiggs returned to her task with re- newed energy. Seems to me she ' s most too much interested in my affairs, she muttered with a pucker showing between her eyes. As fer these yer seeds and stuff, got them from Mr. Waterman, and he ' s person whose word I ken rely on — he ' s straight right through. Um, and an anxious frown took the place of the pucker. Let me see, she backed away a few feet, then turned abruptly and ascended a little hill near at hand. Now, can I spare a quarter of this here ranch to them new seeds or shall I give ' em less? She could not settle the question then, and at supper time, as the hands were hard at work on the grub, she began: See here boys, what do you ' uns think had best be done — I ' ve got a fine big lot of seed what ' s got to be planted right off and it don ' t seem to me like we ' re got room enough fer it on this yer ranch. Wall, spoke up James, the boss — as fer as I knov;, there ' s mighty little space fer it. Ye could only have about one-sixth of the place accordin ' to the rest of the crop planted. That ' s right, that ' s right. came a mumble from the other men as James paused. That settles it then, was the firm rejoinder, and then the men knew something was up, and wondered what the old lady was agoin ' to do. Trust her to know her own biz, declared a tall, lanky man, of sandy complexion and no hair to speak of. She ' s a sharp one, responded his opposite, a little man with bushy black hair. But Mrs. Alma Mater Wiggs, Esq., of the High Lands, as she signed herself, was a woman of decision, and so it was that she gave people little opportunity to speculate as to her probable action. Before long everybody in the country knew that Mrs. Wiggs had purchased the land ad- joining her ' s and was contemplating enlarging her borders in several directions. When the contract man was here today, confided one of the housemaids to the cook over the dish washing, I was dustin ' the sittin ' room door knob, and I couldn ' t help but hear the Mistress say. ' Now whatever you do, be sure and make the house good and handy for the help and sich, bein ' s as how it ' s their place to live in, ' ' en then I heerd ' em movin ' round, so I got out of the way. Now, ain ' t that great? A new house and everything fine? And so the talk went on in the kitchen and in the fields. The year was beginning to stretch itself and yawn, Tjringing countless eyes to the windows of the earth to see the spectacle. Out of the cabbage patch peered many (big round heads encased in flapping green nightcaps. Next door, the turnips rolled up their eyes till nothing ■could be seen but the whites; the radishes grew red in the face with the efforts they made to get out where they could see: while the carrots turned yellow with envy to think that the potatoes with their many eyes had a better chance to view this strange sight. The fruit trees looked down in calm superiority on the striving things of earth, while they sent California snow storms down to cool the heated combatants. Along their Frames the trailing berry vines blossomed and sent out little green Curran(ts) or hard blackberries or goose- berries. The Wheat, Rye(Iy) and other grains swayed and shimmering to the soft sighs of the waking world. Even in the little plot in front of the house, reserved for Mrs. Wiggs ' favorite flowers, glowed white Marguerites, dainty May Belles, vivid red roses (she didn ' t know their name, so she called them Do Boys — Du Bois — because she said they were so tempting for the boys to pick), and some feathery Plume (s) of Pampas Grass. Truly, a strange col- lection; but then, Mrs. Wiggs herself was a little queer. Before the door stood a Hazel and a Maple tree, just to re- mind her of her home in the East, she said. I don ' t see why folks don ' t have names for their vege- tables and trees and things, jest as they do for birds and cats and dogs, she confided to the stable man, Ricardo, a jolly, sympathetic soul, as they stood in the vegetable garden one bright day. Why, sure enough, sure enough, he cried, alertly nabbing a potato bug meanwhile. Why, these potatoes, they ' s no reason on earth why you shouldn ' t call ' em som ' thin ' — let ' s see what ' s — a — ap — appropriate — they ' re full o ' eyes and so they must use ' em — How ' d Wink do- The very thing — let ' s call this big, bold plant that! Just look at those carrots over there; there are two par- ticularly almost big enough, that one is quite dark, we ' ll call her Edith Brown, and that one there — see it — yes, that ' s it — the one with the frowzy top that waves so Grace- fully in the breeze, we ' ll call it Grace. And see those turnips that are so gay, let s call ' em Ida and Lawrence, put in the jolly confidante, eagerly. O, and see them big pumpkins with such big heads — ■ they ' ve Gained an awful lot lately, haven ' t they — let ' s see — ■ they look so much alike they ought to be brother and sister — I guess Irene and Howard ' ill do. Mrs. Wiggs bent down and patted them proudly, adding apologetically to the kind-hearted old fellow, I almost hate to part with this crop — bein ' s it ' s the finest I ' ve had yet; I guess I ' m rather a fool about ' um, but — Don ' t blame ye — don ' t blame ye at all, he quickly as- sured her. The hull kit and boddle of us feel ' bout like you do, I guess. Why, the other day that little housemaid what looks so kind o ' peaked and has black hair — Lena Curtis? Yes, that ' s her name — well, she was a talking to the boss and she says, says she — ' Did you ever see such a fine crop? the best we ever had and planted so late, too — and irregular — I tell you I hope we ' ll get some more seeds like these yer ones! ' and the boss, he says — O, look, cut in Mrs. Wiggs, just look over at Ole Lady Oaks — if they ain ' t a havin ' great carryin ' s on over tnere — what do ye s ' pose is up? Runnin ' some game on ye, never ye fear! I ' ll be bound, she ' s a spiteful old creature. Guess we ' ll have to make use of that parsel o ' Rush down by the creek, eh? laughed the old fellow, tickled at his joke. We ' ll have to do somethin ' , never you fear, to get ahead o ' her, said Mrs. Wiggs, anxiously, as they took their way back to the house. But as she walked along under the trees on which the fruit was fast ripening — the sights and sounds of glorious nature turned her mind once more to her favorite idea. See that there peach? she exclaimed suddenly, stop- ping under a tree loaded with delicious fruit. It ' s way up there, just out of reach — such a rosy, chubby lookin ' little affair. I ' m sure its name must be Bessie. Sure enough, chuckled Re Cardo. And see here, he added, as moving on they came to a drooping pear tree — Ain ' t them a pair — perfectly delicious, too, um — must be called Eva and Delia, don ' t you think? Now, don ' t ye breath a word o ' this tomfool business to nobody, warned Mrs. Wiggs, as they paused near the gate to the apple orchard. Not on yer life, and he hit the poor little Applegate a resounding whack by way of emphasis. The days lengthened into weeks, and at last as the first days of summer were approaching the time for sending the crops to market came. Miss Wiggs, busy with her own preparations, was too much occupied to notice the aston- ishing performances of her neighbor. But one day the observant and faithful Re Cardo reported to the Boss that it looked like Ole Lady Oaks was a tryin ' to get a load o ' stuff off ' n to market afore us and we ' d best get a hustle on! At last the great day came when the big wagons were filled witn loads of wide mouthed cabbages, sad-eyed pota- toes, fragrant onions, pale turnips, lusty carrots, rosy- cheeked apples, sweet peas, luscious peaches, sacks of Wheat and Rye(ly) and ponderous pumpkins — such a magnificent array, that when the last heavy box was lifted on to the last wagon, the hands, one and all, from the Boss to the youngest waitress, gathered round in wide- eyed wonder and admiration to take a last look at this most carefully tended and remarkable crop the High Lands had ever produced. A little pause fell, and in that instant a terrible racket broke upon the ears of the assembled crowd — a noise that drove the grins from their faces and the slowness from their movements. The sight and sound of big wagons creaking and groan- ing under heavy loads of produce coming down the road fi ' om The Oaks, drove the bewildered men to their places. The Boss grabbed the reins of the foremost wagon and amid great cheering the wagons tore down the drive and into the road just ahead of the rival teams. As the knowl- edge, We ' ve beat, after all, burst upon all, a lively squash sprang from the topmost sack, yelling valiently as he waved his arms — Let ' s give ' em Yippity yip. Boys — hit it up! And the cry rose loud and strong over the groans; of the defeated crew — Yippity yip, yip yip, yip yi! Ne plus ultra, Berkeley High! Yippity yip, yip yip, yip yi! Ne plus ultra, Berkeley High! Mr. Hackley — Mr. Clinch, do you remember an occasion where the referendum has been used in this State? Mr. Clinch — It was used in ' 79, when the new Constitution was ratified by the people. Mr. Hackley — Why, Mr. Clinch, can you remem- ber so far back, then jg Mr. Farrar in reading tries very hard to pronounce a long German word. Miss Holling — Why, Mr. Farrar, it is pronounced exactly like it is in English, only a little bit dif- ferent! so Miss McLean — Mr. Rhodes, angels are very dif- ferent from you! and that ' s why Mr. Lamare to Miss Yothers, who has been making herself conspicuous — You are as bad as quicksil- ver — always moving. Just like a Mr. Pitchfor d (suggestively) — Jumping Jack! so Miss McLean — Mr. Rhodes, I think you would like to argue with the Powers of the Underworld, and Mr. Hackley — Mr. Blakemore. will you tell us the name for Local Institutions — (realizes he has said it himself and laughs, which wakes B. up enough to ask) : Please repeat the question. This was a good chance, so Miss McLean — Where is the ' Dreary Plain, ' Miss Gallagher? Miss G.— On earth. Miss M. — No, it is in Hell, and there are a great many other things in Hell, as you will find out later, — accordingly Miss McLean — Mr. Schaefler, what is the origin of the word Ambrosia? Mr. S. — That ' s the stuff they used to feed to the Gods on Mt. Olympus, and that ' s why CULINARY NOTES.

Q. TURNER Dealer in Groceries, Fruits and Vegetables, Hardware, Agateware, Tinware Telephone Mason III Dwight Way Station Berkeley, California WHERE THE BEST CLIMATE IS TO BE FOUND. 4 Climate is an essential requisite for an enjoyable and healthful vacation. In California where climate is all good it is well to know where the best can be found. Look along the California Northwestern Railway and you will find it. The road runs through the large and fertile Marin, Sonoma, Santa Rosa, Russian River, Ukiah and Willits Valleys. A heavily wooded mountain range bounds M this section on the west and protects it from the fogs and cold winds of the Pacific Ocean. Another range on the east separates it from the heated section of the interior. In the valleys and wooded hills of this section, so well protected, is found a varied and most salubrious climate; mineral sprirgs, rivers, lakes and streams in every direc- tion. Every taste and want can be satisfied here, and in accord with a moderate cr well-filled purse. To help in the selection of a place for your summer outing, the Cali- fornia Norithwestern Railway publishes every year a book called Vacation. This year ' s edition, Vacation 1903. contains over 100 pages, beautiiully illustrated, and is complete in its detailed ii formation in regard to mineral spring resorts, select camping spots, country homes and farms, where summer boarders are fallen ; giving location, accommodations and attractions, together with the terms, which range from |7.00 per week up. To be had at the offices of the Company, or by mail in response to a letter addressed to R. X. Ryan, the General Passenger Agent.
