The editors have worked hard and long to bring out a hook that should be different—something new—hut always with the further object in view that the book should he representative of the School—not of the alumni and faculty, but of the undergraduate body. And now we can truthfully say that every article, as well as every drawing in it, has come from the pen of a Berkeley High School student. Ever since the Class of 1904 entered the School four years ago it has taken the initiative in student activities, and the editors have recognized how difficult it would he to publish a hook worthy of such a class. The reader will he able to judge better how far short of the goal our realization comes when he has read the hook—in the meantime, remember that we are only High School students, and make no claim to standards or achievements higher than our class. 011a Podrida 1904 Berkeley High School IN recording the history of the Berkeley High School the one thing that is most surprising is the rapid growth in numbers of students and faculty during the last few years. Up to 1901 the School was housed in a small building known as the Kellogg School. In that year such a long stride was taken in advancement that a new building was an absolute necessity. On February 22d, 1901, the corner-stone of the new school was laid, and in the fall of that same year, when the students and the faculty took their places in the spacious rooms of a thoroughly modern building, a new era began. The history of the School begins with the entrance of seven students in 1880, under two teachers. The senior roll this year contains one hundred and twenty-four names, and the faculty numbers over twenty. The standard of the work done in the School is near the head of the list of high schools in the State. The School is accredited by the State University, and all courses of study are given a place, with the exception of biology and physical culture. The work of the students is enhanced by the use of the School library, which contains many volumes, embracing each branch of study, and also many of general interest. The Museum, which was founded by Miss Carlin, one of the history teachers, aids in creating an interest in the pupils’ work. Athletics is one of the features of student life at Berkeley High. The School has always been one of the leaders in the Academic Athletic League, entering football, baseball, basketball, track and tennis teams. Forensics and oratory arc taken up in the Forum, the students’ debating society, and inter-school debates are held during the year. The “Olla Podrida,” the School paper, edited and managed by students, encourages literary work, issuing twenty-four pages bi-weekly. Mr. Waterman, the Superintendent of Schools, has aided the advancement of the School in many ways, taking special interest in the growth of the library. It was through his efforts, too, that music was added to the course of study. Mr. James, Principal of the School, is one of the best classical scholars in the State, and has the executive ability necessary to manage a large school. And what is more to the point he. makes every student his friend. Truly this has been a banner year—a large graduating class, good school spirit and unity between the faculty and the student-body.

Olla Podrida 1904 History of the Class of 1904 TO tell the history of this illustrious Class, and to tell it well, is a task far beyond my partial pen. Four years ago— it seems years and years have passed since then, and yet it seems but yesterday—we first entered the old High School building, lint that was not the only step to fame and higher education, for we were first taken into the presence of a seemingly stern man, who questioned us as to family and past study until our small knees shook beneath us, especially when he inquired if we were residents of Berkeley. Our first year was principally spent in trying to gain a place in the opinions of the high and mighty upper-classmen, and in keeping out of their way; though we earned a place in the estimation of many of the teachers, as we struggled with earnest care over Caesar, the history of the Ancients, and the immortal Euclid. Vacation came with all its pleasures, which were lengthened by our moving into the new school building, which we had hoped for and aided by “shows’’ and performances of all kinds. The larger rooms and soft colorings of the walls have been constant sources of pleasure to us who remember the old building. The new and pleasant surroundings spurred us on to win renown in other things as well as in our studies. Some of our Olla members starred as “speakers,” and though we were bored at their Podrida rst efforts, they are now certainly a credit to 04. In Athletics 1904 a so wc have not been behind. One has hurled the hammer, far (I don’t know how many feet and inches), but far enough to beat our old antagonist, Oakland, and some to spare. Others have run and hurdled and won applause. In football and baseball our scarred and well-trained veterans have brought defeat to many who have sought to carry away laurels of victory. We have been defeated, it is true, but have borne it well, and beat the offenders twice as badly the next time. Our Class has also the honor of founding the Museum, and with the help and guidance of Miss Carlin and many outside friends, has made it a success. We only hope our successors will do as well, and that in the future it will be a privilege to contribute to its growth. The “Olla Podrida” has been well managed throughout the year, and if it has suffered periods of depression, it was for lack of school support, as each member of the staff has ably filled his place. Socially the Senior Class figures quite prominently. There is always something to go to, a party here, and a reception there, breaking into the usual monotony in a very enjoyable manner. The reception given to the Senior Class by the Alumni in Maple Hall was a most successful affair, and in spite of the rain nearly all were there to share in the enjoyment of the good music and the fine floor. The Middlers and Juniors also entertained us, and were most successful in giving a very delightful reception. Mr. James called the Seniors one and all to him some time ago, and sat and shook his head over the records, and discouraged all hopes of graduation. He has quite a long list, however, so possibly a few will leave High School this year. We have toiled for four years, perhaps some more earnestly than others, yet wc have all endeavored to do our best. The last day will come all too soon, when we will meet, and receive our diplomas, and scatter, never to be together again. 011a Podrida 1904 CLASS Prophet! There the task before me lay Seeming too mighty for my feeble skill. But blest is he who dares—so I’ll begin And take ye, for the deed, the earnest will. But how to probe the mysteries of Fate! Alas is there no magic as of yore By which to sec the coming destiny Of each one in the Class of Naughty-four? Then, as I mused, there came a gypsy crone, With bag and basket, knocking at the door. Inquiring what I needed most that day— Pins, beads or buttons from her little store. “The thing I need the most, you have it not,” I said, and straight the gypsy made reply. “What is it ye lack? Mayhap I have it here. Ye know not what a gypsy can supply.” “I wish to look into the coming years, To see the future clear which now is dense. Canst tell me, for the sake of 1904, What each one will be doing some years hence?” “Aye!” and triumphantly she held aloft A small dark phial to my startled view. ‘‘This fills thv need—if this ye use aright. All power lies within this magic brew. Be not afraid—I am compassionate 011a Of thy hard task and only wish thee well. Podrida 1 ake thou the phial and attentive be 1904 While I the manner of its use will tell. Thou knowest a streamlet babbling down, Now brimming in the springtime of the year. Follow it up the canyon till thou find Under a rock a pool as crystal clear— Thou’lt know the place. Pour in this magic brew. Stir thrice with crooked stick from dead oak tree. The charm done well, gaze in the magic depths, „ And mirrored there thou’lt see—what thou shalt see.” She vanished—but the phial in my hand Gave proof that it, at least, was not a dream. With lightened heart, to do her strange behest I hastened forth and sought the winding stream. I found the pool beneath the sheltering rock All bordered round with dainty, fronded fern. The charm performed, I knelt upon the brink And looked within, the wished result to learn. “Begin!” I cried, “Oh Fates, your secret show. I wait whatever you reveal to me.” And lo! like pictures thrown upon a screen Strange future scenes were mirrored back at me.

So now, I beg, show me my future lot.” Splash! from a mossy rock beside the pool, A bullfrog dived and sent the ripples wide. I started back and lo! like morning mist, Faded from sight the pool I knelt beside. The shadows deepened ’mid the canyon walls; The sun was setting in an opal dream; It seemed the hour of Nature’s Angelus— Hushed was the sound of even the wandering stream. Out into scenes of light and life again With thoughtful steps and slow, I took my way Pondering o'er the things by magic shown— The strange disclosures of that mystic day. l'envoi Note well, oh reverend Seniors, one and all, Your future lots as they’re inscribed here.

The Senior Farce I IERI DAN’S delightful comedy, “The Rivals,” is the play which the dramatic talent of the Class of Naught-four will present on the night of June first, at the Macdonough Theater in Oakland. The plot is a complicated one, there being three rivals, Captain Jack Absolute, Sir Lucius OTriggcr, and Farmer Boh Acres, all striving for the hand of the beautiful young heiress, Lydia Languish. Absolute makes love under the nom de plume of Ensign Beverly, and has won her heart, when Sir Anthony Absolute unexpectedly arrives on the spot and proposes a match between his son and Lydia to the latter’s aunt, Mrs. Malaprop. At this point the complications begin. Sir Lucius brings Acres to send a challenge for a duel with Beverly. He himself forces a quarrel on Captain Absolute and Olla Podrida 1904 3 Olla Podrida 1904 arranges for a duel. David, who is Acres’ side-stepper, and doesn’t like those “desperate, bloody-minded weapons.’’ breaks in upon the duel at the critical moment, followed by the rest of the characters. Explanations follow, the clouds disappear, and they all live happily ever after. The cast in full is as follows: Sir Anthony Absolute... Captain Absolute....... Sir Lucius OTrigger....

It is well known. It gained its reputation in its infancy by giving a dance for scrubs only. They have great men —Bailey and Phillips stand higher than any of the Seniors, even if they are not as smart. Bailey is their angelic president. The Class of 1906 is still alive, although we hear little of it. They boast of such celebrities as Holmes, Skinner, Pausch, Williams, Hazeltine, etc., ad infinitum. The two Eds—Holmes and Solinsky—run things in general, or rather, try to. Williams and Skinner gave a reception to the Seniors and Middlers last term, and got the Class so in debt that they can’t hold a meeting for fear of the sheriff. It's a good class, anyhow. Although the Class of 1907 has not been here long enough to accomplish much, there have been enough rows to call the attention of the School their way. They wanted to give a dance but there were too many Y. M. C. A. boys, and they voted it down. They have money to burn—there’s sixty cents in the bank, and they can’t find anything to spend it on. Master Orchard made an excellent president when Isgrigg didn’t butt in. They adopted a Chinese dragon for their class pin, which is very symbolical of the Class itself. Olla Podrida 1904 The Associated Students It has been eight years since the students of the Berkeley High School met and formed a union which is known as “The Associated Students. ’ The association was formed to bring the students into closer relations with each other, and to have greater unity in all their undertakings. During the year just ended many successful meetings have been held, and the result is that in all our athletic contests the teams representing our School have received fine support. While the football, baseball, and basket-ball games in the Academic Athletic League were being played, meetings were held the day previous to the game, and those connected with cither team spoke to the students. 'The members of the faculty were also very kind in assisting us, and in this way the boys were greatly encouraged in their work. But it is not only in athletics that the Associated Students have been a help to the School. Two tryouts for debating teams have been held in the meetings, and interest in this line of work has been greatly increased. We now watch the outcome of one of our interscholastic debates with as much interest as we do athletic contests. At the commencement of the baseball season it was found that the Athletic Association was nearly fifty dollars in debt. An entertainment was given in the Assembly Rooms by the I)e Koven Club, under the auspices of the Associated Students, and the debt was entirely cleared. The members of the Class of 1904 will sever their connection with the Association at the end of this term, and it is to be hoped that the remaining classes will take up the work with as much interest as their predecessors. The Museum Club Less than two years ago the Class of 1904, under the guidance of Miss Eva Carlin, founded the Berkeley High School Museum. And now, after two classes have added their contributions to the collections, the School claim one of the largest museums owned by such an institution in the State. If the classes to come do as much for the organization as the Classes of 1904 and 1905 have done, there is no limit on the size to which the collections may grow. The one thing to hinder is the lack of space in which to make the exhibit. Even now there is as much material stowed away as there is in the show cases in the Assembly Hall. The Club may certainly look forward to a bright future, and after Miss Carlin’s return from Europe next August, a long stride should be taken in advance. Although the constitution of the Club calls for a semiannual election of officers, the present corps has been in office a year, on account of the inability to get a quorum in attendance at a meeting. The Class of 1905 has not done for the Club what it should, perhaps on account of the absence of a guiding hand, such as Miss Carlin’s. The officers, however, with George Graydon at their head, have done everything in their power, and have added many valuable curios to the collection through their enthusiasm.

We wish to present both sides. The Forum started the year with some fifteen members, only a very small portion of whom were at all prominent in debating. In fact, for the first few months of this term the chances seemed to be very poor for developing a strong team to meet Oakland in the spring. Then came a splendid opportunity for practice, in the challenge from Alameda; and we embraced it. The issue of that debate was disappointing. Nevertheless, it did just what those who entered into it hoped for. It developed a team; and what was just as important, it aroused a spirit which resulted in the strongest competition for the Oakland team. Eleven men entered the preliminary this spring, and seven of these almost formed a deadlock in the final tryout. Thus the misgivings of the beginning of the term were changed to confidence. Meanwhile the unusual amount of debating added to good efforts put forth by the Credential Committee created an interest in the Forum which steadily increased the membership until the final roll contains forty-five names—ten more than at any previous time. The fact, too, that all four classes of the School arc now represented is especially gratifying to those who wish to see the Forum on something of a permanent basis. The weak point of all activities in Berkeley High—everybody waiting until they Olla Podrida 1904 are Seniors before they do anything—has always been particularly noticeable in the Forum where everything depends on training. So the fact that three Middlers and a Sub-junior contested in this year’s tryouts is very promising. If, then, this interest were deep rooted in the society and the School—if all who joined the Forum did so with the purpose of debating, and if a strong sentiment supported this important School activity, all would be well. Hut this is not the case. A great many of those who join seldom or never attend. Others don’t want to debate—will do that when they are Seniors. SAM F. BAT DOR F. The Oakland Debate WELL, it was a glorious victory for Berkeley that came on the night of May 17th. Suffice it to say that every man of our team spoke better than any one of Oakland’s. After the decision that we had won the debate, came the announcement that Batdorf had been chosen best speaker. Certainly it was an unconditional defeat of our old rivals. Mere’s to White, Batdorf and Bolton, and may they ever be as successful as they were on that night. The Alumni Association Of all the freshman students who enter the University in the fall none answer the question “From what High School did you graduate?” with pride more justifiable than the graduate of the Berkeley High School. This is not so much on account of the superior quality of the High School alone, although that in itself were sufficient cause, but from the fact that our alumni have been so well represented in the University, and have gained such prominence in the college circles. We have contributed several star members to the college football, baseball, track and tennis teams, and have added greatly to the literary tone of University life. There have been Berkeley High School graduates on the “Blue and Gold” staff, and we have had editors, managers and members on the staffs of the college papers. W e can also boast of several clever actors, and likewise a playwright or so. This year the Alumni Association, which has been organized for some years, tendered the Senior Class a most enjoyable dance, under the management of Mr. William Andrews. This was held in Maple Hall, in Oakland, and with the good floor, splendid music and congenial company, it was pronounced the success of the season. So our hearts should be filled not only with pride for the wonderful achievements of our alumni, but also with deepest gratitude for their kind remembrance of us. Olla Podrida 1904 President .......

As to finances this year, as always, we have had trouble in getting the fellows to pay their dues. “Bud” Carlisle deserves great credit for his consistent work in collecting the dues and handling the funds of the association. No money was realized from either track or baseball this year, but this was expected. The receipts from football were not what we expected, but this was unavoidable, as the expenses were greater than in former years. This left us in rather an embarrassed condition, but notwithstanding, we entered into the League a team to engage in a department of athletics new to Berkeley High—basket-ball. In baseball, although our prospects were not bright at first, we won the Sub-league, and at least made our presence felt throughout the A. A. L. In football, our boys brought home the championship, and we all feel grateful, not only to the team, but also to the coaches, Curtis Lindley and Frank Solinsky, who should not be forgotten when the glory of the victory is considered. In track, we were not as successful as we might wish. President ........... Vice-President ..... Secretary ........... Treasurer ........... Football Manager .. Baseball Manager . Track Manager . ..

We started with a most discouraging outlook, only four old players, no captain, no training quarters, and no very well-known additions to the team from among the new men. But by excellent coaching, hard work by the players who showed the “proper spirit” throughout the season, and the active support of the student body, the B. II. S. football team did things as follows: Observed the custom of defeating Oakland at football, won the A. A. L., brought the Hearst trophy home for a year and put Berkeley High's name on it at the head of the list, and to close the season, took a trip of five hundred miles to play for the championship of the State. To the boys on the team, of course, most credit is due for our triumph, but first let us make special mention of certain individuals who were in many ways responsible for the outcome. Our coaches, Frank Solinsky and Curtis Lindley deserve much credit for their aid. Solinsky worked day after day with the fellows on the team, helped greatly in getting unity and team work out of them, and gave special attention to the backs. Berkeley High certainly owes him a lot. He was always patient and enthusiastic, and did his utmost to get the best out of the team and each individual on it. Curt Lindley, who had charge of the team during the first part of the season, gave most of his time to the line men, and as a result of his work Berkeley’s line “had the jump” on every team which opposed us this year. 011a Podrida 1904 C urt gave every candidate for the team a fair show and was impartial ir� selecting them for the positions. W alter Christy helped us out all season, and certainly showed himself a friend of Rerkeley High. Walter was always ready to advise the fellows and patch them up when an injury was received. And last, but not least, our principal, Mr. James, who helped us out financially, encouraged the fellows, helped greatly to get the student body behind the team, and aided the management in every way, is to be thanked. Space does not allow a detailed account of the work of each player on the team, and a description of the games played. Sufficient is it to say that every fellow did his best, followed the captain’s good example throughout the season, and played ball of the first order in every game of the year. 01 la Line-Up Podrida John J.

(State championship game.) 011a Podrida 1904 AS is generally the custom at Berkeley High, we started out at the beginning of the baseball season with very poor prospects for a nine which would he able to uphold the high reputation which Berkeley has always had in this branch of athletics. We only had three of our last year's men with which to start the season, meaning that there were six men to be picked. Of course there was a good turnout right from the first, and by engaging in several practice games with the “Phoenix Team of St. Mary’s College, Captain Whitham was early in the season able to pick his team, who, from that time until we were defeated by Palo Alto High School, in the semi-finals on May th, practiced hard and earnestly. And I can safely say that they proved to be a team which we are all proud of, for the much-heard-of Oakland High nine fell before them to an overwhelming defeat by the score of 12 to 4. 'I bis entitled us to play Boone’s University School again for the championship of the Sub-league. We played them a league game during the first part of the season, hut through the decisions of two umpires we lost on a protest. They had been defeated by Oakland Polytechnic High School, so we had both lost one game and came together again to strive for the supremacy of the Central Olla Podrida 1904 Sub-league on May 4th, at Idora Park. We showed the hoys from Boone’s who had the better team of the two by defeating them with the score of 9 to 6. This made 11s eligible to play Palo Alto on the following Saturday, the winner to play in the finals with Lick. We were defeated, however, but not until our boys had put up a hard fight. At the end of the ninth inning the score stood 13 to 8 in their favor. A great deal of praise should be given to every one of our players—they could nearly always be depended upon to send the ball out of the reach of their opponents, and at the critical point of a game they would do perfect fielding, shutting out the other side without a run. “Herb” Freuler certainly made a name for himself in both the Oakland and Boone’s games, for he pitched perfect ball and showed up a number of their seemingly heavy batters by striking them out. He also pitched good ball in the Palo Alto game, but was not given the good support by the infield which is necessary for a good pitcher. Of course nothing need be said of “Jimmie” Schaeffer, for every one knows what spirit he puts into baseball. It seems to be a custom of bis to play well, and when the rooters saw him start after a foul fly, they knew it was just as good as caught. “AT Solinsky played a fine game on first base, and made sonic brilliant stops during the season. He was a sure hitter, and did much to further the interests of the team. “Al” played right field on last year’s victorious team, so this is his first try on the initial bag. “Pete” Livermore held down second, and absolutely nothing passed him during the whole season. lie was the heaviest hitter on the team, and time and time again rapped out a three-bagger to the intense amusement of the crowd. “Jimmie” Whitham, our captain, played a beautiful game at short-stop. It seemed as though his glove was a regular basket, for a man was as good as out if “Jimmie” got hold of the ball. He was very popular with all the fellows on the team, and is liked by everybody for bis squareness and good-naturedness. Berkeley High is lucky to have such a valuable man with her for a couple of years more. “Jack McGreer, although a new man, made an excellent showing on third, and can hold his own with any third baseman in the League. We had three sure fielders, and when anything was knocked within the reach of either “Billy” Deane, Robinson or Peck, it was as good as gone. All three of them did splendidly at the bat, and all were invaluable to the team. 'There is good prospect of winning the A. A. L. next year, for only two of the nine, Schaeffer and Frculer, will not return. “Buck Steele is a likely candidate for Schaeffer’s place, so all we shall need will be a pitcher. The School should give better support to the team, and the student body should be better represented at the games. If the School supports the team next year, Berkeley High should certainly win the League. FRED SHINGLE, Manager. Olla Podrida 1904 011a Podrida 1904 THIS year has witnessed the first basket-ball team the Berkeley High School has ever entered in the Academic League. Although the team did not bring home the championship, the success with which their efforts met reflects great credit on the School. Only two on the team had ever played the game before, but by hard and consistent practice under the able direction of Mr. Koch, a Varsity player of the University of California, a good team was developed bv the time of the final game. Practice began immediately on the opening of school this term and continued regularly at the city Y. M. C. A. on Shattuck Avenue. The large number of students that turned out was one of the factors that contributed to make the season so successful, making it possible to organize a good second team for practice. The first games were played with the University Freshmen, and although the scores were rather large in the Freshmen’s favor, a good showing was made. The first League game was played with Alameda and resulted in an overwhelming victory, the score being 29 to 9. This is very significant as both schools began the season on an equal footing. Stockton then defaulting, it remained to play Oakland in the finals of the Sub-league. This game was a great surprise to every one present. The Oakland team was composed of old and experienced players, three of whom had played on the championship team of the previous year, and every one anticipated an easy victory. But notwithstanding the odds, our team met the experience and steadiness Olla Podrida 1904 of the Oakland team with a dash and spirit which made the result of the game doubtful to the last second of play, Oakland scoring during the last half minute, making a final score of 17 to 16, only winning by one point. Great interest has been manifested throughout the School in the new game, and a large number of rooters supported the team at each contest. The prospects for the coming year are exceedingly bright for winning the championship, as a majority of the old players of both the first and second teams will still be in the School, besides new material, which is sure to he found. The players and their respective positions were as follows: Paul Bailey (Captain).........................Center Francis White... ............................Forward Solly Segal..................................Forward Max Stone....... ..............................Guard Roy Miller.....................................Guard Olla Podrida 1904 Whitman in tmk ioo at tiir A. A. !.. The Track IT is true that the track season this spring was not very successful. But don’t he discouraged, track men. It was not the fault of you, the faithful few, but of the unfaithful majority, that we were unsuccessful, 'flic income for athletics is very uncertain. We were delayed in going on the track this year by the lack of funds. Money could not be raised with which to build a track-house. To a majority of the students I would say, “If you can’t pay your fifteen cents a month for athletics don’t go to school, or borrow the money.” And then again, out of a total of some two hundred and fifty hoys only twenty-five were on the track. The only way to get you lazy or hard-working (?) ones out would he to make athletics compulsory, and then you would probably cut. 'The girls can help the athletes in more wavs than one. W hen the Athletic Association is in debt start a collection and help pay it off. You do help some it is true; at every field day or hall game one is sure to see six or seven girls flaunting the gay colors of the School. If that be not enough to spur one on to victory nothing would he. But one can hardly see those colors. There should he more of them. That’s where the difference is. Olla Podrida 1904 As to those who did support the team, we respect and thank them. The prospects for next year are not altogether disheartening —in fact, they are bright. Captain-elect “Dick” Hayden has good material for forming a team. Dick has several records of his own. and with the help of Miller, Whitman, Segal, the Morrin brothers and others, Berkeley should not come far from the top next year. Captain Blakemore did as much this season as could be expected of any man. Me took three places in the 1� . C. L., and two in the A. A. L. Miller has developed into a fine 88o-yard man, and it was owing to the fact that be was “boxed” that he was obliged to take second place in that event in both field days. Olla Whitman, a new man with us, deserves much credit for the Podrida way lie worked, considering that he ran for another school last 1904 .vcar He took places in the 100 and 220-yard dashes in both field days and should win first next year. Richardson showed ability in the distances and Wilkinson showed up well in the hurdles. Segal, Dykes, Miller, Barnes, Isgrigg, Brayton and Eldridge, all relay men, ran good laps. I would like to take this opportunity for thanking a few of our friends and those of the students who have aided us. I'irst, we owe many thanks to the University management for giving us permission to use the track, and especially to Mr. Walter Christy for his influence with the management and his kindness in helping our men while at practice. Last hut not least comes our principal and friend, Mr. James. Too many thanks cannot be given to him. lie is always ready to give something, either money or advice—more often both. Cheer up, then. If Mr. James stays with us long enough, some day in the near future Berkeley will head the list of state schools in athletics.

Olla Podrida 1904 THE boys in High School who have taken up tennis as their part in athletics this year, have done so at a great disadvantage. In former years they have always been allowed the use of the University courts, and consequently a good deal of practice was done. But the players at college have found use for the courts every day throughout the season, and our boys have either had to ride to Oakland, or take part in the tournaments at Golden Gate Park. So if the team entered in the A. A. L. this year was not so good as previously, the cause can he laid directly to the lack of accommodations and not to the players themselves. The tryouts this year were held on the East Oakland courts, and were very successful. Many of the matches were closely contested, especially in the semi-finals between Guest Wickson and Dewey Powell. It took three sets to decide which was the better player, and Wickson finally won out with a score of 6—2, 4—6, io—8. Raymond Clinch then played Wickson in the finals, and won 2—6, 6—4, 6—3. The doubles championship was won by Clinch and Powell, after a close match. The A. A. L. singles tournament was held in San Francisco on May 14th. After a hard match, Raymond Clinch, Berkeley’s representative, was defeated by Hotchkiss, C. S. M. A., who took r Olla Podrida 1904 first place in the League last year, and second this year, t linch played a steady, consistent game, and all credit is due to him for his work. Girls’ Tennis The girls who are interested in tennis have an organization, and several very strong players have been developed. Miss Hazel Hotchkiss, 04, is one of the best players on the coast, and has defeated members of the college teams. If girls tennis were made a part of the League, Berkeley would have no dangerous competitor for the championship. Berkeley Wins A. A. L. Doubles On Saturday, May 21st. Raymond Clinch and Dewey Powell won the Academic Athletic League championship in the doubles tournament. They worked hard and deserve their title of Northern California inter-scholastic champions. Iil.AKKMOKK WINNING THK SHOT-PUT AT THE A. A. L. Social Olla Podrida 1904 rocia l FE THIS term the social activities of the School have been manifested in various ways—in the dances, the entertainments, and the Senior play. According to their custom, the Alumni of the School tendered the Senior Class a dance. This took place April eighteenth, at Maple Hall, in Oakland. This is the first time that a High School dance has been held outside of Berkeley, but as the Alumni considered that a suitable hall was not to be had in Berkeley, it was given in Oakland, where the accommodations arc superior. There have been two entertainments at the School in the course of the term. The first, given March twenty-first, was for the benefit of the Athletic Association. This was a concert given bv the J)e Koven Club, and was a very successful affair, the interest of the School being particularly aroused by the fact that a number of the performers were Alumni of Berkeley High. And secondly, the Forum, wishing to stimulate interest in oratory, gave a declamation contest on April fifteenth, in the Assembly Hall. In this members of the Senior, Middle and Junior Classes took part, and prizes of books were awarded to the successful competitors. And now we come to the gaieties of Commencement. First will be our play, “The Rivals,” by Sheridan, which, given by representatives of our own class, promises to be an unprecedented success. Then our Senior party will close the festivities of the present semester, and for us, who now leave the School to go out into the world, it will terminate our connection with the Berkeley High School as undergraduates. Hereafter we may attend the 15. H. S. dances, hut never will they be the same to us. On the night of our ball we will enjoy ourselves—some of us with a desperate feeling that perhaps thereafter we may never be so free from responsibility, and able to enjoy ourselves as on that memorable night, when our duty, as Seniors, of presiding over the social affairs of the School will terminate. And now, having rehearsed the events of our last term in the Berkeley High School, and beholding the Class of Nine-teen-hundred-and-five ready to take up our responsibilities, we leave you.

It was the original intention of the society to restrict membership to those only who had made their “B’s,” but this made the organization too exclusive. Men who have made a point on the track in a field day, or have played in an inter-school game are eligible. The society, it is to be distinctly understood, is not a fraternity, nor is it an inter-fraternal affair. The object of this organization is to bring the men of the different branches of athletics together to further their interests and make the several branches work as a whole. The members of the society now in school are: Fred Fisk Seniors Raymond Clinch George Kerr Robert Siiuey Nicholas Duggan Fred Shingle Middlers Vincent Witcher Roy Miller Juniors Roger Whitman Sub-Junior Elmo Steele t ■ THE STAFF Editorial Staff Sheldon W.

Readers as a rule fail to realize that to get out a school paper means work, not play. They do not consider the problems that are to be solved, and too often believe that the editor and manager run the paper purely for their own benefit. In clearing up some of these illusions 1 shall not use the editorial “we, but shall rather give my personal view of the matter. As to the first point, that there is work to be done as well as play, suffice it to say that I am writing this after ten o'clock at night, after a hard day's work on the paper, including two trips to San Francisco, and time put in writing, copying and correcting manuscripts, racking a brain muddled by a lack of sleep for words to express chance thoughts. Sitting here, tired out, with the whole josh department of the edition yet to be made up and the proofs of the entire book to be read, I have the further prospect of making up my studies for two weeks’ absence on account of the paper. Yes, it is work, a steady grind—I almost wish sometimes that I had never taken the burden on my shoulders. I firmly believe that the time will come when the faculty will recognize Olla the work and give credit for it. As to the problems to be Podrida solved, there are many. The question of what the josh depart-1904 ment should be is perhaps the most bothersome. In the minds of the majority the policy pursued this year as to joshes spoiled the paper, but there are a few who believe as I do that humorous incidents may be treated without hurting the feelings of the person joshed, and that the personal element is generally carried too far. At any rate, it is merely a matter of judgment, and if I did not suit the majority it may have been poor judgment on my part. I did what 1 thought was best. I have said that the majority thought that we were running the paper for our own personal benefit. The paper is run for a selfish purpose inasmuch as ambition is selfishness, but no more: we have been selfish only in wanting to issue a good paper and, incidentally, to get credit for it. As to those near-sighted critics who claim that we make a financial gain, I would say that where we do make anything, which is not always the case, we could make twice as much bv putting the same time on easier work. Now 1 only hope that I have cleared up some of the misconceptions and mysteries of the paper, and that the chance reader will take a more charitable view of editors in the future. Maybe I have done wrong in bringing these matters up here, but the old subjects for editorials have been used a great deal already. And then, maybe I would rather write about the paper, for in a way I hate to give it up—for the same reason that on the night of the last assembly of your class, when you speak of your departure there is a catch in your throat and a strange contraction at your heart. Love grows out of association oftentimes, and now that we must leave so much that has unconsciously grown dear to us, our inner feelings rebel. Yet there is no real use in feeling sad. If there be the right spirit in the C lass, or in the School, we will come together again all through the years, and although there may be some whom a Mind of wider comprehension than ours sees fit to take away, the most of us will meet together again and again, to live over the pleasures of these older days. Cupid s Mistake Olla Podrida 1904 TT7HY, little god, do you torment me so? V l ake up your arrows, pray,, and go. Yet hold, dear Dan, you’re not to blame— It was her fault, not yours, you came. It was her eyes and glorious hair, Her rosy cheeks and hands so fair; Xo, little god, you’re not to blame— In fact, dear sir, I’m glad you came. Glad? Yes; but, oh! if only she— What use to hope—she’s not for me: Yet something tells me, from above, That mine is not a hopeless love. Then why does she not speak or bow? Wake up, my boy, I have it now: It is she needs you, and not I. You’ve made a mistake to pass her by. Her manner’s changed, her glance less cold— Dan is at work as he was told. IIow happy life since this change came. And Dan, dear hoy, was really to blame! Olla Podrida 1904 A Midnight Madness By ’04 THE kind hand of a paternal government had plucked him at the age of ten from the palmy depths of his native island, had dug a little hole for him in a large hoy’s school on an enterprising western coast, patted the earth firmly about his feet, and expected him to grow and flourish. Rut perhaps a never-mentioned ancestor, who adorned his dark skin with gleaming strings of shark’s teeth, had remembered Otteo, for he did not slide into the ways of the white man with the easy grace of his brown brothers, hut landed there with somewhat of a jerk. At first, the school seemed a bewilderment of newness and strangeness, but soon the pressure of regular hours, drill, confinement, and prescribed food seemed to overwhelm him. Perhaps his keener instinct told him that he, like the others of his race, would soon forget his native tongue, that the thatched bamboo hut in the tall forest would fade to a dream, and he would become like those foolish, yelling boys whom he hated from the depths of his heart. He fought that time off with a peculiar fierceness, and the struggle was not a whit abated for being confined within the limits of his fiery little self. One night, about a month after his arrival, the moon shining through the wide-open dormitory windows woke him with its Olla Podrida 1904 stare. Leaning far out into the cool night air, he saw the drill-ground, the tennis courts, and the gymnasium clearly defined in the half light. Behind lay the mysterious hills offering an inviting outlet for his pent-up feelings. Beyond the hills (sixty miles, though he knew it not) lay the same blue ocean whose curling breakers pounded the white sands of his own land. He dressed quietly. Revolvers were a forbidden article, hut Otteo knew where one of those wonderful little spit-fires lay at the bottom of a tin cash-box on the closet shelf. Noiselessly in tennis-shoes he dropped down onto a wide ledge, and creeping low under the matron's window, reached the ground via a large water pipe. A steep trail through the underbrush led up to the twinkling stars. It passed a camp of some older boys, where a murky light and a variety of smells crept out from under the rude door. But as yet the delights of sleeping on a hard hoard bunk, of drinking bad coffee, and eating half-picked chicken cooked over a kerosene stove, did not appeal to Otteo. He reached the summit and his bright black eyes saw the swelling moon-lit hills with the black depths of the canyons and the lesser shadows of the chaparral. Turning, he looked down at the school so still and white. “Damn,” he said; and he uttered this latest addition to his vocabulary with an infinite depth of feeling. Then, at a dog-trot he set out westward, keeping the summit, his slim little figure outlined darkly against the star-studded skv. He had not gone far when, as his head and shoulders came up over a rise, he stopped short. Down at the bottom of a black canyon lights were moving around uncertainly. There was a clear shout; the nearest light began waving frantically, then all moved steadily upward through the brush. They were hurrying in his direction. The hoy dropped quickly below the sky-line, and skirting around, peered over the opposite side of the canyon by the time the lights had reached the top. Carefully crawling forward through the brush for a better view, Otteo rubbed up against a substantial black shadow. A second startled glance showed a large man with a heavy beard and wild eyes also peering at the lights. The man, perceiving Otteo, turned, and laying a hand on his arm, said with elaborate caution, “Hist! What is the news from Paris? Paris, my son, the gem of the universe! Who would not shed the last drop of blood for Paris! Queen of France! Mistress of Europe!” he raved on. Then, confidentially, “Napoleon’s star has not set yet.” And as one of the aforesaid stars dropped softly over the horizon, “See, it sets in the West, only to rise in the East!” “Come,” said the man, for the lights were approaching, and down the canyon they raced and up onto another ridge. Otteo had understood the wild eyes, if not the talk. “This man,” he said to himself in the native, “is crazy, but the game of the white men is good. The would-be Napoleon regarded the baffled lights with folded arms. “This time escape is sure,” he said grandly. “Tomorrow I shall be in Paris! Beautiful Paris! Queen of France! Mistress of Europe! And you, my son, will I make King of Naples!” This with an eloquent gesture to the stars, and Otteo volunteered, “Yes, sir, damn!” Again the lights descended the canyon, and they circled around to their former position. One lone light had remained behind, and was wandering around on the other side. Napoleon stared at it with blazing eyes. “That,” he yelled, in a terrible voice, “is Wellington! that dog of an Englishman Wellington ! And with a wild cry, waving his arms, he rushed down the hill. Otteo, flushed with excitement and the mysterious influence of the night, leaped after him, emptying his revolver in a wild fashion as he ran. The man with the lantern turned to run, but stumbling in the brush, fell. The lantern, broken, rolled over and started up a blaze on its own account. This was not noticed by the diplomatic Napoleon, who was muffling the man’s cries of “Help!” by means of a handkerchief. Then, with crafty cunning. Olla Podrida 1904 Olla Podrida 1904 he dragged the struggling Wellington to the dry bed of the creek, hidden by the underbrush. When the prisoner had been securely fastened down, Napoleon, with one hand in his bosom and the other pointing to the heavens, began: “Twenty centuries look down upon you!” “Help, help!” cried Wellington, spitting out the handkerchief. “I tell you lie’s a lunatic! He’s going to murder me!” “Wow,” yelled the future King of Naples, emptying a chamber with a flourish. The handkerchief was restored, and Napoleon continued, with one foot on the solar plexus of Wellington. “Down with the enemies of France! Viva Paris! Beautiful Paris! Queen of France!” At this spasm of eloquence, a little more weight was transferred to Wellington’s stomach, and the poor man doubled up and knew no more. A moment later, the remainder of the gentlemen of the lanterns rushed down the hank and surrounded the party. “Well, the old man has made a muss of it this time,” said one. “Here’s Henry, half dead, and the whole side of the hills afire, and----who in thunder is that?” All turned and gazed at the small form of Otteo disappearing through the brush. He paused at the top of the bank to see if they would follow. All lie heard was the pathetic pantings of his friend, who had at last succumbed, though he had struggled like a hero. “Far’well Par’s! Beau’full Par’s! Queen of Franc’! Mistres’ of Europe! Gem of un’verse!” He trotted back to the school in the gray dawn, but he moved in a dream. All day he tossed in a stupor on his little iron bed, chattering in his native tongue, and playing for the last time in his dream with the white shells on a distant shore. The next day the dream was all gone. It had come to him that it was good to be at the school. He ate the strange food with a relish. Before a week was over he had mastered the rudiments of football, and in a month lie was in a fair way to become a respectable citizen of his adopted land. Sweet Graduate Girl By e, •© .

P. 05 R OBERT COLTON was sitting alone in the deserted library of S---- High School, head in hands and elbows on the table, gazing abstractedly at his report card which lay in front of him. A weird stillness pervaded the building, for it was after school hours and the only sounds that broke the monotonous silence were the window shades flapping in the breeze and the papers rustling on the table. It was the end of the first month of his Senior year and his father had told him at the beginning of the term that if lie made over eighty per cent in all of his studies every month for the whole year he would pay Robert's expenses for an extensive foreign tour, and Robert had firmly resolved that lie would do it, for the desire of his heart was to travel. But now at the end of the very first month in spite of his persistent efforts he had failed miserably in Latin, the one study that he disliked, and made only seventy-eight. All at once his trip seemed to melt away and a very disappointed and dejected boy, he betook himself to the library, not having the necessary courage to go home and face his father. Now as he sat there in the vacant library with the afternoon sunshine streaming in through the windows a thought came to him. It was not a good, honest thought, hut nevertheless it seemed to grow on him and he could not throw it off. It was such a small thing to do, his father never would know, and to forfeit several years of pleasure for two credits seemed more than he could bear. In vain he tried to convince himself that it was wrong, in vain lie tried to gather courage to take his report card home to his father at once and have it over with— finally in desperation lie snatched up a pen and with trembling fingers rounded the seven to a nine! There it was done—98—and his father would never be the wiser. Of course if Professor Morris should chance to compare it with his record he would sec that it was wrong, but such a thing was hardly probable. Awed with what he had done at first he sat still and hardly dared to breathe, then trailing his pen idly over a piece of paper he scrawled I almost wish I hadn't changed that 78 on this first month’s report. R. C. A door in some remote part of the building slammed with the wind and Robert, jumping to his feet, tore the paper into hits, picked up his hat and books and went home. It was the noon recess next day. Margaret Rutherford, bright and breezy, tripped gaily into the library with her arms full of books and a fountain pen poised over one car, to look up the life of Napoleon. Sliding her books onto the table, she drew a chair, selected the encyclopaedia that read “Mot-Nov, sat down and fell to work. At the end of half an hour she slammed the hook to, drew a long sigh and gazed around her. “There, that is done and if Miss Carew doesn’t give me 1 on it, it won’t be my fault.” Her eyes fell on a little pile of paper torn up into very small pieces. She drew them toward her. “A very interesting note, no doubt,” she remarked. “I must sec what it says,” and she started to put the scraps together. “I almost wish 1 hadn’t changed that 78 on this first month’s report. R. C.” “How funny,” she mused, “and those are Robert Colton’s initials, too.” Just then she was interrupted by the ringing of the bell and gathering her books together she left the room. The graduating exercises were over, and the graduating class, surrounded by their admiring friends, were receiving congratulations and chatting gaily. Robert Colton was there and Margaret Rutherford and on the outskirts of the bright, laughing Olla Podrida 1904 Olla Podrida 1904 throng’ Mr. Colton stood with Professor Morris and beamed proudly upon his son. But somehow or other, to Robert the whole thing seemed Hat and uninteresting and he fervently wished that lie was already sailing across the ocean, away from the praises and congratulations of his friends and the wistful look in Margaret’s dark eyes which haunted him continually. The next night as Robert was sitting with Margaret in the drawing room Professor Morris was ushered in, but as he said lie had come to sec Mr. Colton on business the two soon retired to the “den.” A sudden fear took possession of Robert—what business would Professor Morris have with his father unless— hut his thoughts could not frame it into words. lie tried hard to appear outwardly calm, while his heart beat tumultuously and his mind became a confused jumble, but he failed miserably and answered Margaret’s eager questions about his trip absently and each time as though he had been suddenly awakened from a dream. The expected summons was not long in coming. “Mr. Colton would like to see his son immediately in the library.” Robert jumped to his feet and his face turned white, but his limbs seemed to fail him and he could not take a step. “Margaret ’ he gasped, “I must tell you, I—” his tongue clove to the roof of his mouth. “I think I know,” said Margaret gently. “I will go to your father.” o' Robert was dazed—Margaret know—impossible—and yet she seemed to understand. What would he do—if Margaret only would tell his father. He paced up and down the room until finally his thoughts grew clearer, and mustering up all of his courage he left the room. “No, I won’t have a girl make a coward of me,” he muttered. “I’ll own up myself.” He opened the library door, and standing very erect and looking very pale, he faced his father, Professor Morris and Margaret. “Father,” he began. His father interrupted. “I know it all, my son.” There was no anger in his tone— only reproach and unfathomable sadness. At that Robert broke down and Margaret, with tears in her eyes, stole softly from the room; but there on the table lay many tiny scraps of paper neatly fitted together: “I almost wish I hadn't changed that 78 on this first month’s report. R. C.’’ Some three years later Robert took his promised trip, but, needless to say, he was not alone—for Margaret went with him. Why Do I Love You? By OLGA GRACE PAUSCH. ’04. WHY do I love you? I don’t know— Perhaps because I’m made just so. Why does the clover love the breeze? Why do the flowers love the bees? Why does the twilight love the star Twinkling and winking down from afar? I don’t know— Perhaps because they’re made just so. How do I love you ? I can't tell — I know I love you mighty well. How does the sunset love the west ? How does a robin love its nest ? How does a ripple love the shore, Kissing the sand it dances o’er? 1 can’t tell— 1 know they love them mighty well. Olla Podrida 1904 The Dance of the Stars By Augustus L. Kent The midnight silence hushed and still Lies over city, plain and hill, And in my tower beside the deep I meditate, while others sleep, Upon the night's soft beauty spread Around, about and overhead. The stars do dance in circles bright Upon the ballroom Boor of night, And silvery music faintly swells, Like chime of old cathedral bells; Such music only poet’s ear, Attuned to Fancy’s harp, may hear; Such sight alone the poet’s eye Perceives through realms of fantasy. Diana holds the honored place, And leads the dance with queenly grace. Her cavalier, Orion bold, Full gallantly his place doth hold At her fair side, nor now doth fear Apollo’s angry presence near. Next bright-eyed Venus and her lord. Impetuous Mars, with spear and sword Firm grasped, for e’en in festal hour As when the clouds of battle lower. The war-god still his ancient name And bloody calling must proclaim. And after these a long array In festive robes with garlands gay; Great Jove, with his loved Semele, And Neptune risen from the sea. Young Hermes with a Pleiad fair, Elcctra of the floating hair, Callisto, Vesta, all were there, Olla And many more of like degree; Podrida The dance proceeds right merrily— 1904 Xot mirth such as frail mortals know Confined upon the earth below, Whose leaden-weighted thought may ne’er Pierce through their cloud-enveloped sphere, But high, majestic and sublime, Well suited to that lofty clime. Unheeded speed the hours away, Too soon must night give place to day, 'Too soon are her soft pleasures hv. Too soon the morning draweth nigh. And now a late, unhidden guest. Bright Phospher, shows his golden crest. Alas, why comest thou, tardy one? Thy presence has the spell undone. 'fhc dance is o’er, the music ceased, And sec! in the awakening East A blush steals o’er the cheek of Night, And brighter grows and yet more bright. Aurora blithely shows her face, Apollo’s chariot comes apace. And through the morning young and gay Night stealeth silently away. Olla Podrida 1904 A Summer Flirtation By Olga Grace Pausch, 04 Porter’s Point, July 25, 19—. My Dear Louise: Did you say that you wanted me to tell you something about this place? There is not much to say about it—and yet, there is, too. To begin with, the hotel is a large one, and is well kept up. The wide veranda, almost surrounding the hotel, is a morning resort for old ladies with their sewing, and noisy children with their toys, while the young people read or go sailing. The pretty, shady walks are the one redeeming feature of the place, speaking especially of the one which encircles a little grove and terminates at the pier. Of course, at first it was very lonely without Roy. It was terribly dull with so many girls and so few hoys. Many of the boys one really wouldn’t care to know, anyway, and those one would like to know were so overwhelmed with attentions from girls they already knew, that a comparative stranger like myself had absolutely no chance for fun. However, there was one young man who seemed to have escaped the girls’ pursuit—he seemed as much a stranger as I. Such a nice, quiet young fellow, such a pretty, shy boy— almost rural in his manners! I had noticed him several times lately, and I had hoped for an introduction, hut there seemed to he no mutual acquaintance, so I had to take time by the horns. I followed him down to the pier the other day-------not exactly followed him, either, because I go down there every day, anyway, thinking Roy might run down. When I thought it convenient for him I dropped my parasol, and when he picked it up and returned it, of course we talked. A beginning once made, the rest was a matter of course. We have a good many mutual acquaintances. He has met that Mason girl—you remember her at school last year, don’t you?—rather a plain, stupid little thing, not a hit of style about her—you surely must recall her. lie knows Roy, too. I wonder where they ever ran across each other. Since that day we have boated, fished, danced, golfed, tennised, walked and picnicked together. I do not miss Roy nearly so much—in fact, would he ashamed to tell how far from missing him at all, I am. lie is such a splendid fellow, so handsome—handsomer than Roy. You may see him some day. I am very sure you will, in fact. Until then revel in the description. Your loving friend, ELLEN R. PS.—He is not so shy as I thought. Porter’s Point, July 25, 19—. Dear Friend 'Jim: Wrote you in my last letter that this was a ghastly, poky place. Nothing going on—no excitement nor interest in the whole chattering settlement. 1 only stayed because I rather expected Julia Mason down, with her sister, Mrs. Wellman. Well, things began to brighten up a hit last week. Saw the prettiest girl—met her in lots of places—on the veranda, in the howling alley, on the pier. Spent half the time hunting up some one to introduce 11s. It was a vain search, hut at last fortune favored. I met her on the pier, probably expecting some relative —sister or father, by the boat. The wind blew her parasol out of her hands; I caught it and, of course, improved such a lucky chance. I can assure you there was no need of introduction then. We seemed to have quite a number of mutual acquaintances. She knows Julia Mason and Roy Hastings. (By the way, how is Jack behaving himself, nowadays?) She is certainly the most fascinating creature—not brilliant, nor witty, nor dashing, nor handsome in a striking style, like Julia—hut she interests a fellow in a different way—appeals to his strength and chivalry, you know, and that sort of thing. Olla Podrida 1904 Olla Podrida 1904 She is so innocent and helpless with her beautiful childlike face and inexperienced ways. I have seen a good deal of her; met her aunt that same day. (She’s a comfortable, sleepy old lady.) In fact, I have spent my time solely in her society, since that happy moment on the pier. Fine place for a summer’s outing. Wish you might come down. Remember me to my folks at home. Yours sincerely, BILL. Porter’s Point, August 3, 19—. My Dear Louise: We are having such a jolly time. These last few days have been an oasis in the dullest summer I have ever known. But all is atoned for now. We are doing all the sights over again, now he’s here.

OWa Podhda 904 The Story o( the Fleecing Lamb The fads come and go, hut here is the story of a fad which had an abrupt ending. It is said that once upon a time Mary and Vesta had quite a mania for collecting beer checks and other little trinkets that in exchange would help cool a person on a hot summer day. But it is also said that that mania soon ended, for one day Mary remembered that she needed a nickel tablet and soon the lambs’ “mud-wagon was headed toward Sadler’s. The tablet was quickly wrapped up and Mary handed the clerk a--------well, a check good for some place in San Francisco. The clerk said something about being within the Mile Limit and not selling liquor to minors, and then Vesta came to the rescue. One report says the check came from Fritz’s place. The Lambs arc now on the water wagon. Force of Habit Miss Claycs—I think that the texts of some of the Class differ slightly here. Holden (unconsciously)—Yes, there is a whole paragraph left out of my English translation here. Quotation From Caesar “All gall is divided into three parts—viz: Hugh Downey, Archie Randall, and Oliver Lansing.” Hypotheses Suppose: That some one made a new rally speech. That Holton realized his wonderful propensities as a lady killer. That Mr. Alexander should huy a new necktie. HHH That Frcnchy llaskell should increase his vocabulary. That Witter and Jim Schaeffer should swear off on rough house. Rfl That Byron should huy a new grip. That Bill Wright should go into bankruptcy. •- Freddy had a little Lamb, Or several, be it said, And so upon election day They rustled votes for Fred. t he Governor uket a sirott IPhysical Phreaks, or Recitations in Rough-House ’Twas in physics recitation one afternoon not long ago. Witter and Carlisle were occupying adjacent scats and lavishing upon each other loads of that affection which the average being is wont to make manifest toward the opposite sex. Mr. Sheldon looked on patiently for some moments while these captains of the rough-house industry indulged in grapevine twists around each other's necks, half nelsons, strangle holds and the like until at last Witter, by one of those strokes of genius for which he is famed, got possession of the coy Burlington's hand. This was too much. “Say,” remarked our genial physician, “just hold his hand after school, will you? And Dean had to content himself with an arm on the back of Bud’s chair for the rest of the hour. Truly the course of true love is like unto this physics course—rocky. Olia Podrida 1904 Phillips Gets the Dope The Night the 40 Minute Cut Rule Went Into Effect Exes We Have Met These two questions arc taken from one of Mr. Alexander’s Latin exes: 1. (a). Who was the great-grandmother of Dido on her mother’s side, what the dates of her birth and death, and main features of her life? (b). Translate these fifty lines of Virgil literally, giving metrical scheme, principal parts of verbs, what words he might have used if he hadn’t used the ones he did use, and jot down all promiscuous knowledge you may have of any of the characters mentioned. (Lines omitted for lack of space.) 2. (a). Give a brief account of the influence of that perennial red tic of mine on the decay of American civilization. (b). Why does Virgil put the subjects of his sentences in the nominative instead of the locative? Give the name of the locative he would use if he used it at all, and give a brief account (about three pages) of its origin. When the student had partially recovered from the above, he wandered out into the Physics laboratory to find himself face to face with a dozen or more questions such as these: 1. (a). Write a treatise on the subject “Toricelli’s Modification of Wimhurst’s Theory of Athermanous Amalgamatization of Manomctric Oscillation.” (Steere got a first section on his masterly treatment of this question.) (b). Why are blackberries red when they arc green? 2. (a). It a jackass can bray for fifty-eight consecutive minutes, how much hot air can I diffuse in one recitation period, if D= ? Draw a diagram of the lungs of one of the jackasses. (b). What arc your chances of passing this ex? Give reasons for thinking so. If not, why? Draw a diagram illustrating this problem, assuming that V� =J£ !=™. Miss Edmonds sprung this on her Math, class the other day: i. Ann was x years old when Schaeffer came to Berkeley High, and now is twice as old as Ann was then. How old is Ann? The student struck these in Mr. Root’s room: 1. (a). What did Columbus’ great-grandmother say when Queen Isabella’s private secretary asked him if he would discover America? (b). What chance have I in the coming presidential campaign? Write ten pages on my likeness to Lincoln, the unly man. 2. (a). Was the first hen hatched from an egg, or did the first egg come from a hen? If you answer in the negative, explain why the hen had a scarcity of teeth. (b). Draw a map of the Revolutionary War and locate on it (i) Bull Run, (2) Perry’s victory on the Great Lakes, (3) the Battle of Waterloo, (4) Plymouth Rock. (5) Li Hung Chang’s birthplace, (6) and all other points of interest identified with the history of that period.

Oratory Clyde Powers is a great orator, as you all know. We take this hurst of eloquence from an English recitation of his: His carsight was so good that he could hear the grass grow on the sheep’s back, and his eyeshot enabled him to see the wool grow in the meadows!” The Commodore At times our life here seems to drag. And school seems dull and void. At times the periods seem to lag. And the class-room we avoid. At times our patient teachers scold And Mr. James’ jokes do bore; But there is one whose smile’s not cold— Our Jolly Commodore. Many and motley arc the courts. Held in the old fire-room. The same the cause of bad reports, The reason Dad” did fume. But sitting there on block and chock We l egged for stories more, A while the hours we did mock, With Jolly Commodore. Oil a Podrida 1904 v Eloquence The following extract front Arthur Bolton's recitation in history one morning shows why the class settles down for a half-hour nap when he is called on: Most assuredly Lincoln did right for didn’t Cicero write Casar’s Gallic War and didn’t the Japs lick the Russians bringing us to the point that complete reciprocity should lie acquired with Canada and therefore Li Hung Chang acted in poor judgment considering Mephistophelcs’ dictum that Gladstone should not interfere with Mr. James’ leniency toward Bismarck whence may l� e proved that Washington was not lx rn on the Fourth of July and that Mr. Underwood falsely asserted that President Roosevelt took out an accident policy as stated in the “Olla Podrida” because he saw a statue of the Venus dc Penochc when Socrates called on him leading to the consideration of the fall of Troy and Miss Claycs’ false” (stops to get his breath) “assertion that Latin is easier than Sanskrit and that Wellyn B. Clark wrote Xenophon’s Acneid during his visit to America and therefore the slaves should be as free as the alligators basking in the sun of the Arctic shores and that the Swedish immigration into the Philippines should be cut oft because this is a free country and Panama was set free by Napoleon because Tom Steere recited in English which brings us to the logical conclusion that the question which I am about to discuss at length resolves itself into (looks up to find that the class has escaped and that Mr. Root is hiding under his desk and that the fire-gong is ringing madly, the electric button having been touched by his eloquence).

Oh, aged the “Root-ine of History,” The “Kerr-nel,” Byron and such; The clippings from antique exchanges, The dialect Irish and Dutch; Yet they are a recent addition To the “Pod” stock of humorous lore, For the Lambs and their doings were mutton Through many long ages before. We’ve heard how the Lamb’s horse and carriage Awhile back escaped from a wreck; We have learned how they bluff their dear teachers In the hope of receiving a rcc ; We’ve heard them referred to in Virgil, Which really is not quite so odd As the way that some people have worked them In filling up space in the “Pod.” We’ve had ’em both joshed and roasted, Stewed, fried—here I wish to suggest That some one think out some new joshes, And then—give those poor Lambs a rest.

Although possessing an air, Which was quite debonair, He always preferred to stay single. Art for Art’s Sake It was a dark and stormy night. It was raining pitchforks. Or rather it was two o’clock the next morning and it was still raining. The Telegraph Ave. cars rested peacefully in their barns, and the electric lights were not. Somewhere between Bill’s Dog Grotto and Upper Dwight Way there toiled a solitary figure. What was it doing in such a place ? On such a night ? A homeless wanderer seeking shelter from the rage of the elements? Not much. It was merely Roland Lamb. He had been to sec Macbeth. Olla Podrida 1904 Famous Sayings of Great Men E. S.

I could hear cheering while still blocks away, so I hurried and entered just as Jimmie Schaeffer, togged out in his glad rags and with the green ribbon in his buttonhole, advanced to the edge of the platform and shouted: Olla Podrida 1904 I’m de great an’ only Schaeffer Wid a rep dat’s all me own.

He left the stage while every one shed tears (of joy) to think that he had gone. In the meantime Randall rushes upon the stage, tries to bow but gets his feet tangled, so commences rapidly: Phwat arc yez talkin’ aboot ? Don’t yez know that Oi Will carve out a name In the swate hoi an’ boi ? Oi’tn quite a carthoonist, Oi run the hurdles high or low.

Remember that I still am young, Thirty-stecn, that is all. I’m glad that I will graduate, So good by, good by, all. He was interrupted here by shouts of “We’re glad too, “Good by,” etc., so sought refuge behind the scenery. Then the chief piker came out and said it was all over. For my part I went back to the box office and tried to make them keep that “satisfaction or money back” agreement, but found that nothing was doing. I went otT with the Dutch motto ringing in my ears: “Such a bumness vat it is.” Miss Clayes There is a fine teacher named Clayes, Who for talking has got quite a craycs.

The Lamb Denied It But We Have the Original Olla Podrida 1904 Nicholas Stephen Duggan Nicholas Stephen Duggan is a cross between a bird and an insect which was found over on Dana Street some fifteen years ago with a rattle in one hand, a pen in the other, and a football under his arm. He has since then developed into a well-known cartoonist, and promises to rival Opper and Davenport before long. We felt that our josh department would be incomplete without the picture of this remarkable creature, and so one of his classmates took this snapshot while he was explaining the mysteries of some of his famous De Koven Club Concert posters. We arc proud to have his likeness in our humble book. Quotations Olla Podrida 1904 Bud Carlisle: Give thee six pence? I’ll see thee damned first! Mr. Clark: “Even the hairs of your head arc numbered.” Toots Lansing: What a fine man your tailor hath made you. Van Lokrkn Sbls : Lord, Lord, how this world is given to lying! Tom Stkkrk: Then he will talk—good gods, how he will talk! Miss Muller: Fashioned so slenderly (?).” Herb Freulkk : It isn't that the boy is conceited exactly; he only takes an interest in himself. Kitten bach : Very like a whale.” Geo. Kerr : The l est way to teach religion is by example.” Robert Knox: With long poring he is grown almost into a book.” Grace Hawxiiurst and Emily Ambrose: “Were silence golden. I'd be a millionaire. Freuler, Bush and Barnes (the front-seat trio in singing): Sing it; ’tis no matter how it be in tune, so it make noise enough.” Ren Breck : None but himself can be his parallel. I«ouetta Weir : She patronized extensively a (?) man.” George Yocco: He never worked but moments odd, but many a bluff wrought he.” The Glee Club: “Filling the air with barbarous dissonance.” A Senior English Recitation Senior English fourth is the greatest aggregation of wizzes that ever happened, judging from a recent recitation. Miss McLean was trying to extract some information about a paragraph from Lycidas,” in which Druids, Satyrs, Fauns, Muses and the whole English Class as well were mixed up in hopeless confusion. During the mix-up a few new theories got into the fray and helped the good work along. For example: When Milton spoke of Satyrs (a kind of billy goat) he meant his fellow college students (this is clearly the origin of butting in). Battening our flocks by the fresh dews of night” was poetic for digging till twelve on an ex.” The word dews” might mean that they went down to Farrell's afterward for a soda, but editors differ on the point. The Druids were a cross between the goat and man, or simply old men with whiskers, or tree-dwelling spirits of Britain, whichever you prefer. Orpheus was probably slain during a performance at the Orpheum, and so on to the end of the chapter. From these results we must conclude that Milton was a great man or that the Senior English Class should write up the Japan War news.

In fact he possesses more of that commodity than is necessary to hold down his present job of Indian to Bill Wright’s Hop Emporium. It was the time of the tryouts for the Oakland team this spring. Bolton had risen and demanded reciprocity with our brothers of Canada: it was a vital necessity to the welfare of both. His subject overcame him. He ‘‘gentlemen of the negatived.” his fine manly nose vibrated with eloquence, he appealed to the judges not to let this cruel outrage endure. Truly it seemed as if he would kick down the tariff wall by sheer strength. Lo! the mighty Kitty arose and spoke with all the eloquence of his powerful jaws. He did not want the cheap Kanuck labor to compete with our magnificent union-labeled product. It was like an extract from Grimm’s Fairy Tales, and not worthy of the honorable gent’s (Bolton’s) intelligence. Then arose the valiant Arthur with blood in his eye. He would rip that audacious kitten up the back and throw him to the dogs—yea. even make of him an also-ran. He demanded to know the Hon. Gent’s proof. He would know on what authority the H. G. insulted the intelligence of this audience by such unwarrantable statements. But all cats have nine lives, and hence Kitty was not yet as one dead. He reared up on his hind legs and looked the accuser in the eye. If he would know- the truth let him look in Lalor, page 252, line 57. But even yet the valiant Arthur was not convinced but must hotfoot to the library, spurning the dust of Allston Way with winged feet. He rushed to the corner where Lalor was kept and gazed intently on page 252, line 57. Oh! Wonder of Wonders I Oh! Unexplainable mystery! An article on Infant Damnation met his eye. The deepest question was on whom was the josh. It is reported that Bolton proposed the following for one of the Forum debates: Resolved, That the Doctrine of Infant Damnation does not apply to Canadian Reciprocity. Aff., Bolton, Xeg., Kittenbach. News of the Weather Rumor has it that Dick Shaffer has been Snowed under. Later—Report confirmed. No hope of recovery.

WHEN TNEf «E NIM COMiNIj CAIT.IIT IS THE ACT Olla Podrida 1904 Acknowledgment AS the last pages of this book go to press we feel that we must in some way acknowledge the kindnesses and aid which we have received, and which have helped so much in making our task an easier one. In speaking of those who have helped us in a literary way throughout the year, the names of Miss Lillian Morris, Miss Olga Pausch, A. L. Kent, Sam F. Batdorf, Tom Steere, and J. R. Scott stand foremost. To them we owe a load of gratitude. Those members of the faculty who have taken the greatest interest in the paper are Mr. James, Mr. Alexander, Miss Carlin, Mr. Lamare, Miss Curtis and Mr. Root. Without their help and advice the paper would have fared worse than it did. If there is any credit in the josh department it should fall to Maurice Johnson and J. R. Scott, who have done several times the work of the rest of the School put together. Max Stone has also helped us out of several tight holes by turning in available copy. As to the art work in this edition we are glad to be able to confine our list to the undergraduate body. Miss Marian La P� arec deserves great credit, not only for her own work, but for enthusing others and making them work. Those others who have helped substantially in this line are Miss Alma Carlisle, Miss Helen Earll, Miss Ysabel La Farce, Miss Evelyn Allen, Miss Gladys Chase, Nicholas Duggan, Archie Randall, and Perrin Orchard. We must thank Herbert Freuler and Ed. Hart for photographic work. We wish to thank the full force of workers in the office and in the several departments of the Sunset Press for courtesies received in our business dealings with them. Mr. Arrowsmith, the Oakland photographer, has also won our gratitude for his aid. Aug. i—Jenkins and Evers start on the ad campaign. “Vacation. 1904 Is now ready for distribution.
