As a remembrance of the pleasant years spent here, and of the schoolmates and teachers who ha be shared our joys and disappointments, this Olla Podrida is issued. It has been our endeavor to publish a representative book, primarily for the graduating class, and to record as far as possible the events of our last year, that voe may, in years to come, look back and live over again the days of our gradua- tion, and the vjeeks and months of preparation for those days. At the same time, voe have tried to make the book of interest to the School at large, a short revievo of the year. We ha be finished and novo put the result of our labor into your hands. The Berkeley High School (A Review) THAT the Berkeley High School conforms to its surround- ings as an institute of learning. There ran be no doubt. The atmosphere of the State University pervades its halls and actions, and it is really another undergraduate class of that institution. Its position gives it an advantage over interior schools in its broadening effect on the mind and its escape from the rut into which schools at a distance from the University and the broader field of knowledge are liable to fall. Besides These general benefits. Berkeley High affords an opportunity of carrying on a high school and an under- graduate college course at the same time. This is evidenced in the number of college students who are making up deficiencies, especially in the science courses, in This School. The School in its four years ' course embraces almost all the departments of high school instruction; Mathematics, in- cluding Algebra. Plane and Solid Geometry and Trigonometry. Physics. Chemistry. Geometrical Drawing. Free Hand Drawing. Latin. Greek. French. German. English. History and Physical Geography, and is governed by a thoroughly reliable faculty. The most notable fact in the history of the School is its rapid growth from 1880. with seven students and two teachers. to 1905 with an enrollment of over seven hundred and a faculty T% of twenty-two teachers. The first graduating class was in Mil; 1883, when one lone senior stepped forth into the world; now the School is turning out from one hundred to one hundred Wsdriba and fifty finished graduates a year. Of these the majority — ' move into the University of California, where the School is fully accredited. The School building, although only four years old, is already inadequate for the large classes and that the present High School building will some day bear the more dignified title of Town Hall is a prophecy which the Olla Podrida dares to set forth with a vision of an immense new school in the midst of a large athletic field. Almost every branch of athletics known to academic insti tutions is supported at Berkeley High and its athletes are known throughout the State as leaders in healthy sports. Recently the girls have been taking their share in athletics, and have basketball, tennis and rowing meets as respites from the routine of study. Literary talent has an outlet through the Olla Podrida which is published bi-weekly during the term, debating is actively engaged in through a society for that purpose and dramatics are encouraged throughout the year. In social events the School is not dull, receptions and farewell dances being given by each class. The School has recently tried the One Session System and has found that it works with great satisfaction to all con- cerned, making recitations less of a drudgery and raising the standard of study. Berkeley High has just passed a year remarkable for the unison among the students and between the students and faculty and for the support, especially by the girls, of all the School ' s activities. Politics has been accompanied with little bitterness and all have acted with one accord in bettering the School ' s interests. 9 OMLEIM 03.

The selection was extremely difficult to make, the field being limited to a great extent by the desire to get something that .had not been given recently in nearby schools. Finally The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare was selected. Argument of the Play Act I — Baptista. a rich gentleman of Padua, has two daughters. Kath- erine and Bianca. The latter, because of her gentleness and charm, has numerous admirers, but her father refuses to listen to any of them until her elder sister is married, which event seems doubtful on account of her shrew- ish disposition. The several lovers of Bianca are in despair until the advent of a peculiar Veronese gentleman, Petruchio, whose hasty temperament seems well suited to the shrew. Among Bianca ' s admirers is Lucentio. a native of Pisa, who decides to disguise himself and engage to Baptista as a tutor for Bianca. giving over his proper name and rank to his servant. Tranio. Act II — Tranio sues as Lucentio for Bianca ' s hand, while the real Lucentio obtains the position as tutor, intending to try to win her covertly. In the meantime Petruchio obtains Baptista ' s willing consent to his suit for Kath- erine, and woos her in singular fashion, overriding all her harshness and disdain with a bright declaration that they shall be married next Surday. 17 Act III — At the appointed time the wedding party assembles without the bridegroom, but he appears after an interval clad inmost incongruous apparel which he persists in wearing to the church, despite the open disapproval of the party. Immediately after the ceremony he departs for home with Kath- erina, not even tarrying for the wedding feast, although his bride first entreats and then storms. Act IV — At his country house Petruchio treats Katherina rigorously, while pretending to be assidious in his care of her. She gets very little to eat because he claims the food is not cooked properly: and the new garments which have been ordered for her are rejected, although she is very well pleased with them. He is so harsh with the servants and so dogmatic in his statements, that his wife forgets her own arbitrary disposition in the desire to keep his temper even. Finally she becomes quite submissive to his will. Act V — Lucentio s father arrives and finds Tranio in his master ' s gar- ments. Tranio faces it out to gain time and Lucentio and Bianca arrive as man and wife. Explanations follow and the entire party gather at a ban- quet at Lucentio ' s home. After the feast is over and the ladies have 18 withdrawn a wager is made on wifely virtue and Katherina shows herself to be more gentle and yielding than any other wife present.

These particular halls are illustrious now. though perhaps they were not then, as it was with the opening of the doors of the new building that we came. Those first days of High School were glorious. We were entering a new realm. Senior, sub-junior, all alike, had to learn the plan of the new building, so there was no misdirecting to the Assembly Hall or to the various rooms, which inconvenience, the sub-junior is subject to now, much to his chagrin. With awe and wonder we looked up to the dignified senior, and also looked forward to the time when we should be as he. Time has passed quickly since then, and has dealt kindly. Instead of four years, it seems but one, since first we undertook to master the declensions in Latin, and later to follow Caesar in his wars, and also the struggles over the immortal Euclid. Some have gone from us. others have joined our ranks; bur still it remains the same old class to those who have been with it from the first year. There have been some struggles; it has not always been an easy path, because sometimes 32 cinches would appear. Then followed discouragement, quickly succeeded by resolves for better work, due in a large measure to the timely encouragement and advice from the teachers and principal who have so faithfully stood by us. But aside from the regular work of school, we have gained renown in debating, in writing and in athletic contests. For has not one of our number proved himself the best debater of two high schools, and triumphed over our old rival, Oakland High? Two have written prize stories. The football heroes will all remembered be, as our class has been acquainted with football from the first, for in our first year a team was organized, the only sub-junior team until the present ' 08 team. In track athletes we have not been lacking; some of our class bid fair to be renowned in track athletics the world over. By no means should we fail to mention baseball, where some have striven and won, much to the credit of Berkeley High, as well as to the class. Basket-ball, too, was organized and led to its present prominent position by members of the class of ' 05. All our time has not been spent in serious study or even in athletics, for socially we have not been inactive. In our sub- junior year we gave a party to ourselves and received many compliments from the upper classmen who attended for the able manner in conducting the affair. Our regular junior and middle receptions were a credit to the class. During our last 3 T ear an entertainment, the Senior Show, was given under the direc- tion of the class. It was an unqualified success in several ways. School talent was shown and it was an aid financially to three classes. The class play, The Taming of the Shrew, to be presented at the close of our High School course, will, I think, be a fitting farewell. I SAT one evening pondering on my task. How to divine the future I must ask Of prophet, sage or gypsy woman old Before your fates, O Seniors, I make bold To lay before you ; this my very thought. No inspiration came, so soon I sought The Iliad from out mv stack of books, To painfully translate. How strange it looks ! While Homer sang of heroes long ago, Soon o ' er my book, my sleepy head bent low. The battle-field of Troy before me lay. I saw them then, as on that distant day With strife of words as well as strife of swords They sought to mend their quarrel. But the lords Of high Olympus destined all to be And clearly set, I saw their destiny. When lo ! quite clear before my wondering eyes The battle-field of life there did arise. And cabalistic signs, and no more Greek. In vain for Menelaus did I seek, 34 And Agamemnon, king of men. and all Their shapes and forms I conld no more recall. The gods and goddesses had left the fight. They banqueted on fair Olympus ' height. And Helen, fairest of all womankind, And fickle Paris, cowardly of mind. And noble Hector, ever brave of heart, And, too. Odysseus, with his crafty art, And Telamonian Ajax, large of limb, And all the long-haired Greeks that strove with vim, And all the Trojan knights, took on new forms, Enwrapped in cloudy mist and rainy storms, But for a time, and then as clear ' s before. My classmates all did seem to throng the shore; And to my task I felt myself alive To read the fate of Nineteen Hundred Five. My Greek book gone, and on my table sate, With all its mystery, the Book of Fate. I turned the pages o ' er with reverend awe ; I noted well, and this is what I saw : Pearl Albee — She ' ll charm all her listeners with Orpheus ' power, With her music beguile every wearisome hour.

Here ' s to the other classes when they become seniors. m SOMEWHERE back in the nebulous period of the school ' s history some progressive individuals, recogniz- ing the need of a ' closer bond of union , among the student body, met and drew up a constitution of the Associated students of Berkeley High School. Just what powers were delegated by this constitution are not known, for the ancient document itself has long since gone from our keeping and time and tradition have handed down to us a Student ' s Association consisting in a president, whose duties consist chiefly in presiding at the yearly meeting when the nominations for the set of figureheads for the following term take place. Athletics, the strongest department of school activities, was placed under the control of another body, the Athletic- Association ; debating was likewise conducted under an inde- pendent banner, while the school paper, the only remaining item of importance, was managed in such a manner as to render it practically a private enterprise. Thus, with its several functions wholly withdrawn from its jurisdiction and placed under separate management, the association of the students of Berkeley High has not flourished, and the interests and spirit of the student body have become as divided as its management. With the ensuing term we enter upon a new era in our H school affairs. A new constitution has been drawn up and adopted which, though necessarily faulty, will do much to unite the interests of the school and bring athletics, debating and all other activities under direct control and support. Each branch will have at its head responsible managers and live committees to keep affairs on the move, and the presi- dency instead of being a sinecure, will require a person of executive ability and original ideas for the fulfilment of its duties. Officers President - - Secretary Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Bailey Melnotte Peck Donald Wehe FOR The last time the Athletic Association of Berkeley High occupies a page of the final Olla Podrida. With the advent of the new constitution, the Athletic Asso- ciation is no more. Hereafter the athletic affairs of the school will be under the direct control of the Associated Students. The effect of this change will, it is hoped, enlarge the scope of beneficial results obtained from athletic contests by bringing a greater number into active participation. The girls are now equally represented with the boys, and the Girls ' Annex to the Academic Athletic League bids fair to become a great success. There is no reason why the swimming, boating and basket-ball contests of the fair students should not become popular, as these exercises are not only novel with many, but also unquestionably beneficial when properly conducted. The dues under the new constitution will be fifteen cents a month as before, and payable by every student of the school, girls and boys alike. In order to facilitate the payment of dues, it has been proposed that season tickets be issued for the fall football games on receipt of seventy-five cents, cover- ing the first five months ' dues. These tickets will be good at all games, excepting the semi-finals and finals, the proceeds of which go to the league. This seems an excellent plan and if enough students can be induced to part with their seventy-five cents in advance, to warrant getting out the tickets, the 46 scheme will doubtless be tried. This year has seen an increase of over $150.00 in the expenses of athletics, due to the hiring of coaches, and as a result the association has had difficulty in meeting its creditors, but by means of various entertain- ments and a pie sale, which netted over $30.00, it has come out in fairly good shape, even better than was expected. Small attendance has characterized the meetings, but this has been overcome in some degree by the presence of the girls who for the first time took advantage of their right to take part in the affairs of the association as well as pay dues. The coach system has been tried during the past year in nearly all branches and seems to be successful. Although our teams have not always come out ahead, the general result has been extremely gratifying when we remember the unpromising prospects at the beginning of the term, and Berkeley High has come through with an excellent record throughout.

The first was its joining the Debat- ing League of Northern California. This is a league of the towns and cities around the bay, more especially, but including other societies also. The league has been divided into sub-leagues, in which series of debates are held. These lead up to a final contest. A cup provided by the students of Stanford University is the prize of the winning team, and will become the permanent trophy of the school first winning it three times. The advantages of the league are enjoyed, principally, by those schools which have regular instructors of forensics in the faculty, and can put out at least two teams in a year. For such a school the league is a good thing. It affords a definite number of debates, whereas without the league each school must depend on the challenge system. Berkeley cannot expect much benefit from the league under present circumstances. The fact is, Berkeley joined the league because — or mostly because — Oakland did, and Oakland has already felt the effect of Berkeley ' s membership, as Berke- ley won the first league debate in which she was entered. The other matter was the effect of the new constitution adopted by the Associated Students. By this constitution the 48 student body comprises a society at large, for carrying on school activities. Hence the association may send out or receive challenges for debates, and supervise the arrangements of such debates. Thus the tryouts will be open for all, girls as well as boys. This, however, is not a Roman Holiday in debating, as it appears on the face. It is pleasant to think of being able to go into tryouts without a year ' s grind at practice debates. But we leave it an open question : what will be the quality of such debaters? The Forum, therefore, is still useful. Those who enter debating for its good effects on both themselves and the school will join the Forum and get all the practice possible. Also, if the student body is not recognized as a society and cannot join the league, the regular league debates will come under the direction of the Forum as at present. If a parting word may be left with the Forum it is, wake up! The activities of the past year are not worth recording aside from the successful junior debate with Oakland in December and the regular contest with the same school this spring, in which we were victorious 49 DEBATING TEAM SOMEHOW there is a stronger affiliation between the alumni and the student body of the Berkeley High School than is usual in most high school communities. One would naturally suppose that with the University so near the majority of the alumni would be apt to forget that they owe a debt to their high school and would drift away from it. But it is not so, for a fair percentage of the red and gold alumni are as loyal to their school today as they were when they were students, and are just as much interested in it. The past year has been a most pleasing one to the Alumni Association, for they have watched the growth of a high school spirit that has been lacking in the school for many years — one that can be commended by both teachers and students. In a word, a spirit that permits loyal support being given all branches of school activities without a consequent falling off in the scholarship standard. And we, the alumni, are proud of the new associated students ' constitution by which all activi- ties are gathered under one head — a long-needed reform. And now, members of the class of 1905, we want everyone of you to sign the alumni book before you are two months older. Set a precedent for other classes to follow by joining the asso- ciation in a body. 51 OWING to the absence of Miss Eva Carlin during the preceding school term, the Museum Club has been rather an unknown organization, but the middle his- tory classes of ' 06 and 07 have finally emerged from their long reverie so far as to reorganize the club, elect officers for the term of 1905 and to begin business anew with a well filled treasury. But now that the organization is again fairly on its feet and we have had several handsome collections of various articles offered us. the problem arises, Where are we to place these curios? Through the diligence of the class of 1904, our few exhibition cases in the Assembly Hall have become very well stocked, in fact, so well so that it has become impossible to exhibit any further additions which might come into our possession. But, nevertheless, we shall si ill look forward to the time when we shall have a room entirely for our own use by a possible addition To our school. Until then we can do nothing but wait patiently with watchful faculties for any opportunity w hich may arise to add to the success of our club. Officers President J.

James New Rules of the A. A. L. HE latest regulations made by the A. A. L. for the improvement of athletics have not been in operation long enough to allow one to make any very useful criti- cism. If the students should now vote upon the rule requiring an exchange of blue tickets, it is likely that this regulation would be annulled. Probably the teachers would unite with the pupils in pronouncing the new requirement a nuisance. But both teachers and pupils must admit that this rule has had a good effect upon the scholarship of the athlete. The frequent reports necessarily cause the pupils to take more interest in their studies, and the teachers, too, are more likely to take a helpful interest in athletics. Both in college and high school the athlete often fails to receive the help of the student body and of the faculty. Usually the attitude is that the athlete will not do well in his studies and hence he should be left to himself. The average athlete does not seem to win the respect of the average boy. All men admire displays of strength and skill, but the audience usually has two standards — the athlete is good enough in his way, but intellectually, etc. Most teachers expect little from the pupils that engage in athletics; often the teacher gets no more than he expects. The new regulation causes the teacher to take greater interest in the athlete. The pupils that are not quali- fied to take part in athletic events are more likely to aid the athlete by urging him to study a little harder and thus help out the school. The new rule is in this way an assistance towards the gaining of school spirit. If the students in school and college can compel the athlete to do his book work well by showing him that they expect it for the sake of the 55 school. then the athlete will not always be urging ns to ' get behind him. unless he has done his duty towards the school in other ways. The blue ticket rule is the only one thus far to be put into effect. The regulation requiring that a pupil pass in ten hours of the previous term ' s work will go into effect next term, and it should be carefully enforced. The rule is good in that it protects the pupils and their parents, besides removing any chance that a pupil may enter school for the athletic season and then withdraw, to enter again next year. A boy that cannot, or will not. pass in ten hours of work in a term will not do any better the next term under the same conditions. He should be kept out of athletics until his work has improved. Coaching Until this year we have done what we could without the aid of a coach. Of course, there have been several causes for our failure to take a high place in athletics. Inn the lack of intelligent direction has had much to do with our lack of success. A track captain cannot always control his men. since the manager and The Team are hoys of the same age. A good coach is unbiased and ho can see The best arrangement for his men. There is no doubl thai our Team improved greatly during the year and thai this improvement was due to the coach. However, it is a question often discussed by principals as to whether it is best To employ a coach. Xo one doubts that school athletics should be under the direction of a competent man. hut. on the other hand, some paid coaches may be too eager to make a Avinning team. There have been instances of this within a few years. For this reason many principals believe that the coach should be employed regularly in The school. He will then keep in mind the main purpose of school life and he will not attempt to make the winning of a game the main object. Intense competition may be desirable in some kinds of busi- 56 ness, and even in athletics there is need of competition, if new records are to be made, but at present the intense desire to win seems to take away the pleasure that contestants should find in athletics. If the coach cannot show the pupils that there is more in athletics than the mere winning of games, the coach- ing should be abolished. At present only a few schools are fortunate enough to have teachers qualified and willing to oversee athletics. Until the public schools are able to have gymnasium work, it may be necessary to employ a professional coach. Finances There is no doubt that too much time is spent upon athletics. Not only does the actual work of athletics take the time and attention of the pupil, but the frequent urging of pupils to support athletics financially makes it appear that athletics is the most important part of school life. It is always necessary to sell tickets to something to raise money for athletic purposes. In a school of the size of the Berkeley High School, if two-thirds of the pupils would pay the monthly dues, there would be no need of so much ticket selling. It seems possible that most of the pupils can contribute the small amount required. If each pupil would earn the money, he would take more interest in this part of school life, and he would demand more honest work on the part of the athlete. As long as we are to have athletics, it is proper to support it in the right way. If the work is not good, public opinion will condemn it. We may say of the year ' s changes in the management of athletics that the blue ticket rule is a good one and that the requirement of ten hours of satisfactory work ought to be enforced. Furthermore, the action of the student body in taking charge of athletics is to be commended and ought to result in an improvement both in athletics and in the scholar- ship of the school. 57 FOOTBALL IN looking back upon the football season of 1904 we may well be proud of tbe showing made by our team, which, although it did not win the championship, put up as fine an exhibition of football as Berkeley High has ever witnessed. The outlook at the beginning of the season was rather discouraging. At the start there were but four old players with which to turn out a championship team. However, by good coaching and the lively interest taken by the school, a team was developed which was one of the best that has ever represented Berkeley High. An account of each game is not necessary in this article, sufficient to say that we won or tied all games played during the season up to our game with Oakland, when we were defeated by the small score of 6 to 5. This was the hardest and best game of the season, and although we did not win, yet we were shown what faithful work our players had done dur- ing the season. Captain Solinsky, at left tackle, deserves great credit for his work during the season. He was out on the field from the first and it is largely due to his work that our team was as successful as it was. We should have a championship team next rear under his guidance. At fullback we had Peck, who showed up strongly on the defensive as well as the offensive. The position was a new one to him, but he filled it very capably. Stone at left half and Farrow at right half showed great ability to do things. They had good speed and managed to charge through all small holes in the line. No man on the team played a more conscientious game than did Roy Miller at quarter-back. His judgment was first class. Pliny Doane more than held his own at center. He was through the line every time and was fast in getting down on kicks. This was his first year and he did remarkably well. Right guard was held down by Witcher and left guard by Bowman. These two men showed great strength and more than held their own against their opponents. Johnson at right tackle played a steady and conscientious game. He played hard, reliable ball of a high order. At right and left end Steele and Monett did the honors. Here they distinguished themselves by their aggressiveness and sure tackling. They played reliable ball and could always be capt. solinsky depended upon. As substitutes, Connolly, Weston, Kruse and Richardson made a good showing and were a credit to the school. In considering the success of the team last season, we cannot overestimate the work done by our coach, Frank Solinsky, whose earnest effort in our behalf was a large factor in the making of the team. Walter Christie deserves the thanks of the entire school for his interest and help. The banquet given by Mr. James, Mr. Young, Mr. Clark and Mr. Pearce was appreciated by all and showed the interest the faculty takes in athletics. 60 The prospects for a championship team next season are very bright. Practically all of last year ' s team will be back. Stone being the only man of whom we are not sure. Al Merritt is back again and will be a valuable addition to the team in whatever position he plays. There is also an abun- dance of experienced material in the school, the ' 08 team of last year having some men who should make a good showing- next season. There is every reason for thinking that we shall have a championship team next year, led by an experi- enced captain and managed by a competent and earnest man- ager, the only doubt being as to whether the school will get behind and help with the right kind of spirit. The spirit last year was excellent and it should be far better next season. IN reviewing track athletics of the past year, the most notable fact is the improvement shown in the second term over the first. From seventh to second place m the A. A. L. is a long jump, hut this is what Berkeley High did, and in looking for the cause of the improvement we must attribute it to the coach system. Undoubtedly Berkeley High ' s track team would have been little better than it was last year had it not been for Coach Powell. He placed the men in the positions for which they were most fit and specialized them for their places. Of course, he could not bring out a winning team in one season, but he improved it so that, as a result, Berkeley High will probably never again be without a track coach. Another cause for the improvement was the sterling qual- ity of school spirit shown during the term. Rooting improved and enthusiasm grew in magnitude. Roger Whitman made an excellent track captain and held his men well together besides doing his share in the point win- ning. He will be here for two more seasons and will undoubt- edly improve each term. COACH Roy Miller, our mainstay in football, basket-ball, track and sometimes baseball, ran the same gritty race as last year and finished well. He will be back for another year also. Isgrigg, who has been elected captain for next year, is developing rapidly and before he graduates will do even better than he has done this year. Fat Stevens is also showing great improvement, and will before long be a good middle distance runner. CROSSFIELD ■ MILLER MORRIN Billy Edwards was unfortunate this rear in being laid up at critical times. He has a pretty style and if stronger would be a crack hurdler. He graduates this year. Evers and Morrin have been running close in the high jump. Evers having a little the best of it towards the last. Both these fellows will be back for another season. The surprise of the season was the way little Al Crossfield showed up in the 50 and 100-yard dashes. He had everyone beaten in the fifty and always led the 100 till past the 50-yard mark. This is his last year here. Carl Bathbone. although a newcomer, always ran a gritty race, especially in the relay. He will be back for another season. Alfred Merritt with a little more training could become a crack weight man. as he has the necessary build and muscle. He has one more term in school. Marshall ( lieney developed unexpectedly into a good runner and had he come out a year earlier would now be a sprinter of the first order. As it is. this is his last year. Orchard and Chapman, although not point winners, deserve great credit for the way they stayed out during the season. Harold Brayton has made an affable and able manager, conducting his financial affairs in good style. Although next season may be dull on account of the great interest in football. Berkeley High has good chances for a league winning team, providing the school can afford a good coach. The Relay Team THE relay team, consisting of Whitman, Crossfield, Miller, Cheney, Isgrigg and Rathbone, won the mile runs in both B. C. L. and A. A. L. meets, but was disqualified in the B. 0. L. for alleged crowding. Although it has not got the record for this race, it ran in good time and is, no doubt, the fastest of prep school teams on the coast. EDWARDS i i QRINSTEAD BASEBA BERKELEY HIGH started the season with five veterans, two of which dropped out early in the term, leaving but three of last year ' s team to form a nucleus for this term ' s nine. Had it not been for the new coach system, whereby we obtained Richard Boettiger, a former Berkeley High player, as coach the chances are that we would have had a team that would have had a hard time beating Oakland. As it was, Boettiger developed a pitcher, one of the best in the league, placed the old men in the positions they could fill to the best advantage and developed five others to fill the empty positions. While he was in town the team held together and played cham- pionship ball, but after his term was up and he had departed for the north, practices became irregular and finally stopped altogether, with the result that we lost the second game with Alameda during a terrible slump. Several practice games were held during the season, the team from the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute giving us many valuable practices. One trip was taken, to Sacramento, and this game, although a victory, delayed practice for two weeks by tieing up the suits. But that is anot her story. 67 DOANE Elbert Solinsky captained the team and played first base. This was his third year at the game, the second on the initial bag. He played a good game throughout the season and his ready conversation while on the diamond oftentimes pulled the team out of tight places. He will be with us again next year. Kellogg McCarthy, a new man, filled the position of catcher with credit and did remarkably well in holding Doane ' s heavy throws and curves. He batted with a good average and was almost perfect in his throws to second. McCarthy will probably be in school next year. Pliny Doane, in the pitcher ' s box. was the surprise of every team he went up against and surprised even his own classmates in his rapid development. He had terrible speed and all the curves known to the profession, including the much-talked-of spit ball. Unlike the great majority of pitchers, he was an excellent batter, in fact, the best on the team, and won several games by his timely singles and two and three baggers. Doane graduates this year, making it necessary for Berkeley High to develop a new pitcher for the coming season. Richard Hayden held down second base in an extremely creditable manner and his team work with McCarthy resulted in the failure of many attempts to steal from first. He was one of the few that turned out regularly to practice. Hayden graduates this term. Russell Robinson, who last year played left field, this season played shortstop and made a success of the position. Nothing got past him and he held his own at the bat. He will be in school another year. Alfred Heister, on the third cushion, played big league ball without any exaggeration. He had one of the strongest arms in the team and was exceptionally good at the bat. He will not show up next year. 68 Charles Thomas in left field played an errorless game and kept his head in all emergencies. Although not exceptionally strong at the bat, he had a pretty way of bunting the ball in difficult positions and then beating it out to first. He has another year in Berkeley High. Paul Reiger and Will Priestly alternated in center field, both playing good games. Priestly was a hard hitter which won him the preference in the position. Rieger will return next year, but Priestly will probably not be back. Melnotte Peck again officiated in right and fielded 1.000 per cent. He was a good hitter, showing up especially well in the second Alameda game. He will be back for at least another year. William Ristenpart, who managed the financial affairs of the team, did well under extremely difficult conditions when the Athletic Association ' s treasury was at its lowest.

BASKET BALL BASKET-BALL in Berkeley is practically a new sport, the team of 1904 being the first in the history of the school, but it was so Ave 11 supported by the student body that it readily became a regular branch of athletics. The 1905 team began practice about the middle of Novem- ber in the Y. M. C. A. gym under the direction of Musgrove of the University of California team, but he was early forced to give up coaching. This left the team to rely on its own resources and it deA-eloped rapidly. In all the numerous prac- tice games one could plainly S ee that there was material which when fully developed could bring out a championship team, but by an ill turn of fate they were defeated by one point in the final game, after defeating Alameda by a good margin. This made the second time Berkeley had been defeated bv Oak- land by a single point. Paul Bailey, the captain of tAvo years ' teams, leaves this year and Boy Miller has been elected to fill his place. It was Bailey Avho first proposed and organized a basket-ball team, the Athletic Association at the time being unwilling to venture their support. For a starter on next year ' s team there will be three vet- erans, Miller, EA T ers and Johnson, besides the large bunch of substitutes that showed up this year. 70 The Team Paul Bailey (captain) Herbert Johnson Royal Miller Albert Evers Max Stone Center and Forward Forward and Center Forward - - - - Guard Guard WITH two of last rear ' s team back at school last August, tennis in the High School seemed to have taken a good start, as both players practiced almost daily together during the first term. However, owing to the illness of one of them, a new man had to be found for the doubles, and thus good team work was almost an impossibility in the short time remaining. Powell and Cheney have prac- ticed faithfully during the term and represented the High School in the doubles. In the B. H. S. tryout Powell easily won the singles and then the championship by default. Powell and Cheney won the doubles handily and should make a good showing in the A. A. L. Three of the fellows with Mr. Young and Mr. Clark rented a court last term and practiced faithfully — any success that the school gained in tennis, therefore, comes in a great measure from the efforts of these two men. Guest Wickson has managed the team exceptionally well during the year. Swimming SWIMMIXG came as an afterthought to Berkeley JtLig this year, and as a result the team, hastily picked, made no points. Xot since 1899 has there been a team from Berkeley entered in the A. A. L. tournaments. In that year occurred the first league tournament and Berkeley High took second place, hut since then the sport has been forgotten. This year ' s team, made up at the last minute with a farcical tryout, consisted of Elbert Solinsky and Melnotte Peck, in the 50 and 100-yard dashes, and Royal Miller, in the 110 and 880. Considering the lack of training, the boys did remarkably well, but were unable to take any places. With a little training and practice a good team could be made up from these three alone, but if more come out for the tryouts next year we can have a championship aggregation. It is a manly sport which should be encouraged and supported. 73 Sub-Junior Athletics THE past year has seen several innovations in athletics in that the sub-junior classes have become actively engaged in both football and track. Although ' OS ' s team was not the first sub-junior team ever turned out, it was the first to engage in an interscholastic match, defeating the Lick fresh- men by a 6 to 0 score. The men on the team were Sawin (captain), Hust. Snook, Sather, Xichols, Monroe. Holmes Harris, Hartley, McCarthy and Barnett. In track the boys have organized a Bay Counties Fresh- man League and in the first field day held at the latter part of this term the results were as follows : Lick first with 33 points, closely followed by Oakland High with 32 points. Berkeley came third with 20, Lowell got IT. Wilmerding 1A and Mission 1. The meet was characterized by the lack of training and the consequent disastrous results. 74 GIRLS ' ATHLETIC DURING the past year the girls have taken an active part in athletics. Before they have been contented to watch the boys ' sports, but now they have come forward with a basket-ball team, the first in the history of the school. The team was organized at the beginning of last term, and at the first practice enough girls turned out to form four teams. After a few weeks of hard practice the following team was chosen : Forwards. Yeva Tan Dyck. Violet Richardson and Betty Troile; guards, Clarice Davis. Leslie Horr, Maude Ger- rior and Varian Smith; centers, Hilda Atkinson, Margaret Hizar and Jessie Reed. The first practice game was played with the Girls ' High, and Berkeley was defeated by a score of 24 to 4. The next week a game was played with the U. C. freshmen. After a hard game the score stood : High School. 12 : Freshmen, 9. The next game was played with Lowell High. Berkeley being the winner with a score 17 to 8. The same dav a same was 75 plaved with the Girls ' High, and the wonderful improvement in The team was shown in the tie score, 2 to 2, when but a little over a week before the same team had defeated them 24 to 4. At a meeting held the last of April, the girls decided to join the Girls ' A. A. L., and Clarice Davis and Hilda Atkinson were chosen delegates from Berkeley High. The first league basket-ball game was played May 17 with Lowell, Berkeley winning in a close game by the score of S to 1. Girls ' High defaulted, bringing Berkeley into the finals with Mission or Polytechnic. The girls are taking great interest in rowing, and practice on Lake Merritt twice a week. Georgiana Sturgis is coxswain, and the remainder of the crew will be chosen from Hilda Atkin- son, Clarice Davis and Violet Bichardson. The league races are to be on June 3, on Stow Lake, San Francisco. 76 Rallies THE advent of One Session lias opened new chances for unique rallies, and lunches have often been swallowed hurriedly to clear the voice for a speech during the twenty minutes 1 intermission. Then sometimes on the steps or on improvised rostrums the athletes have told the school their troubles and hopes and called for support and good lung power. Rallies in the Assembly Hall have not been altogether neglected and the meeting before the Oakland football game was enthu- siastic to the highest degree, as was the jolly-up after our defeat of 5 to G. This last showed the proper spirit. Long will the rally before the Faculty-Senior baseball game be remembered, the dignified professors telling of their pre- meditated victory by means of an umpire who needed the recs against a picked team, the members of which were in constant danger of being cinched should they make a good play. Mr. Young was undoubtedly entitled to the medal for the best speech that day. One session also gave the president-elect the chance of getting off the famous pun of not knowing whar to speak on, so he guessed he would have to speak on an empty stomach. Mr. Pearce ' s prophecies, which were considerably on the style of the weather man ' s forecasts, were always anxiously anticipated. Mr. James ' few personal notices have gone down in history and no meeting of the student body would be complete without them. This year also saw the novelty of girls on the platform making better speeches than most of the boys and raising enthusiasm that would not down. May the girls continue to take part in this as in all other activities. The work of the yell leaders, Evers and Brayton, has been excellent and the choice of the latter to lead again next year- could not have been better. 77 Faculty vs. Seniors THURSDAY. April 27, saw the famous baseball game between the Faculty and the Seniors which resulted in victory for the Cinchers by a score of 10 to 8. The score was very appropriate. The Seniors had not yet received their final recommendations and any humiliation of the powers that be could easily deprive them of all chance of ever graduat- ing. The pitcher who hit Mr. James with a speedy ball also gave up all hope of a diploma. Phillips and Bailey pitched wonderful ball, completely demoralizing their opponents, who struck wildly at their elusive outs and ins. For the Faculty, no doubt Messrs. James, Root and Harvey played the star game, while the other members of the team looked on land laughed). Mr. Root was for a week the proud possessor of a badly swollen finger which he had received from foolishly making partial connections with a ball lined to third from Professor Steele ' s young arm. Mr. Dewing in tight duck trousers played again the part of Achilles and alternated in the pitcher ' s box with Captain Young. Mr. Pearce was at his best and almost suc- ceeded in several cases in catching the Seniors at the second IF the term dramatics may be applied to the farces given throughout the year, Berkeley High is certainly a dramatic school. Her Only Fault, a farce in one act, was perpetrated upon the public in connection with the Berkeley quartet at the athletic show. The cast consisted of Alta Patton, Olga Pausch, ' 04; Homer Beedle and Paul De Leon. It was well acted, but as a play it was nothing. On the strength of it, Homer Beedle entered a school of dramatic art and Alta Patton has the leading part in the Taming of the Shrew. The Senior Show, given to raise the dance debts of the upper classes, was the most successful of the year. Ed Holmes shouted his monologue in true Ezra Kendall style. Jimmie Howard, disguised behind a coat of paint and old clothes, gave his Barnyard Echoes, and made you imagine the B. H. S. was the stock vards in West Berkelev. To end on the one-act comedy, originating in the fertile brain of the aforesaid Jimmie, The Trials of a Theatrical Manager was given amid the hysterical laughter of the assembled students. Jimmie Howard refused to work for fifteen cents a week and a half dozen of doughnuts, even though they were fried in the Stand- ard Oil ' s best output. Lombard as John Wilkes Booth called long and loudly for a gilded mule, but Maud came not. Max 79 Stone as chief biscuit shooter kept things busy. But the climax came when Garrish Gassoway as Adalina Patti. dressed in the height of fashion, came upon the stage. It was a very creditable performance all the way through. Why the Meter-physical. Hypercritical and Soakerlog- ical Serciety of Happy Hollow Did Not Give a Gentlemen ' s Evening. ' given by the teachers, was a very amusing sketch, in which Miss Carlin and Mrs. Sweezy cavorted about the stage. Mrs. Sweezy sang a solo and Miss Carlin denied the accusation of being a spring chicken. 80 Society LTOGETHER since last August there have been five successful Berkeley High School dances. One of the pleasantest of these was the reception and dance given to the class of ' 07 by the classes of ' 05 and ' 06 in Reed Hall, Oakland, October 8, 1904. The custom of entertaining the junior class is an old one, and dates back to the time when the juniors were the youngest class, and the purpose of the dance was to welcome them into the school and make all three classes better acquainted. Now pupils are in the High School a year before they become juniors, but the seniors and middlers still keep up the pleasant practice.

Evers IX recording the history of the Olla Podrida it has been very difficult to obtain information of the early days and to learn much about the founding and the events leading up to its beginning. Former editors have sometimes left files of their year ' s work with the school, more often they have not, early volumes have been lost and their editors are now so widely scattered that it has been next to impossible to get reliable record of the paper ' s existence. The Olla Podrida commenced its career in Januarv. 1895, as a six-page, eight by ten, three-column sheet published on the second Thursdays of the month. It had no cover and no illus- trations. The first board of editors consisted of Roy V. Nye, ' 95, managing editor, and Margaret Webb. ' 95 ; W. A. Hackley, ' 95 ; Harriet Hoppin, ' 96 ; Walter D. Eeed, ' 96 ; Leo Dungan. ' 97, and Ernest B. Clark, ' 97, as associates. The manager was James J. Kline. ' 95. Among the first contributors was Stuart G. Masters, now on the reportorial staff of the San Francisco Chronicle. The numbers of this volume from three to ten are together with the second volume in the school library. The class edition of this year is not on file, but it must have been a very small one. Volume two was enlarged to eight pages and appeared in a 98 very complicated cover which represented every sport and activity in which a high school could possibly engage. The paper was scheduled for every other Friday. Richard Hasel- tine, ' 96, was the editor and on his staff were Carleton Parker, ' 96, a recent graduate of the State University; Fred Boynton, ' 97, who is now employed in the Berkeley postoffiee ; Elsie Nutting. ' 98, and Chester Rugg, ' 98. The volume had several halftones, among which was one of the faculty ten years ago showing many of the present teachers at a comparatively youthful age. The final edition of ' 96 contained forty-four pages with a number of illustrations, among which was a cartoon of the Oakland track team, showing that ten years ago there was the usual intense rivalry between the two schools. The senior class was as large as the graduating class this year, but the paper was, of course, in its infancy. The paper has grown steadily since then both in size and quality, occasionally having an off year, but always improving. The final edition of 1898 broke away from all precedent and appeared under the title of The Crimson and Gold, but this name lasted for one edition only. Since then it has always been known as plain Olla Podrida, the meaning of which, prob- ably unknown to the majority of its readers, is explained in Volume II as follows : What ' s in a name? Much when we consider that the thoughts sug- gested by a name help to make the owner of that name live up or down to its significance. And what is the full meaning of the title of our High School sheet, Olla Podrida ? All who read its pleasant, newsy pages will toe interested to know. The word olla podrida is of Spanish birth, and it entered our language through the avenue of Spanish literature. The definitions of olla and its compound olla podrida are as follows: Olla. In Spanish countries, an earthen jar or pot used for cooking; hence, by metonymy, a dish of meat and vegetables cooked in such a jar. Olla Podrida. A favorite Spanish stew made of many scraps of meat and many kinds of vegetables; hence, metaphorically any miscellaneous collection. 99 The design upon the cover of our paper represents such a miscellaneous collection, and suggests that all departments of school life shall have their place in the school paper. That which makes up the work and the play of the students daily life is to find its manifold expression in these pages. The olla podrida of Spain is like the pot au feu of France. Into it is thrown all the odds and ends. It is therefore a popular dish with the poor, and because it has often to last so long with them, and because often- times the meat is not quite fresh, it was called olla podrida. literally, a putrid stew. But in our Olla Podrida. made of the choicest bits and fresh every two weeks, eagerly devoured as soon as made, that literal mean- ing is lost and forgotten. Only the picture of a steaming hot. rich and savory Spanish stew lingers with us. and we remember Ben Johnson ' s words: I was at an olla podrida of his making; ' twas a brave piece of cookery. Our Olla Podrida is a good dish for the intellectual appetite. It simmers for two weeks, and during that time each may bring his share of the ingredients — a scrap of the meat of reason, a sprig from the garden of poesy, a shake from the pepper box of wit. a pinch of the salt of wisdom, and in the skillful hands of the cook all is made into an appetizing dish. ' ' There is no doubl thai high school journalism is instruc- tive to all actively concerned in the publication of the paper. The work brines one into close contact with students and faculty, business men and the business world. Editors and managers learn how to get along with all classes of individuals and like all other school activities the work broadens the mind and gives experience that will be useful throughout life. The only objection is that so few get the benefits of close alliance, generally no more than five a year doing enough work to receive any real results. It is surprising to note the general ignorance in the real workings of the paper among the majority of high school students. In a college town, especially, they expect too much from individuals. Although it may be stretching matters a little to compare a high school publication with those of the State University, a moment ' s thought will prove the following assertion : Pupils of the Berkeley High School expect of their paper the literary material of the ••Occident-Magazine. the news items and athletic notes of the Daily Californian. the 100 joshes of the Pelican and then at the end of the year look forward to an annual similar to the Blue and Gold. So the trials of the staff are numerous. The half yearly graduating classes will, no doubt, work a great hardship on future Olla Podridas, especially the finals, as the staffs will have little practice before they go into the most difficult of their tasks. However, it is to be hoped that next year ' s staff and those succeeding it will overcome all difficulties and meet the situa- tion face to face and with better support from the student body make each issue better than its predecessors. 101 Editorial Charles B.

A., ' 08 COME thou with me adown the beach, Where morning glories trail long ropes, All tangled as they run and reach Along the wind-swept, sandy slopes; Laden with cups, pale tinted, pink, That swing and curtsy, bob and prink. Just where yon cocoa palm inclines, Tall, slender, to the sea, I know A lava ledge that half confines Upwards, and breaks in glittering play On his bronzed limbs. Erect he stands And graceful, holding in his hands The shining, tangled mesh, all wet, That flower-like flashes into view. Expanding with a rush, the net Falls swiftly, outlined ' gainst the blue, And meets the water, then a snatch Flings high the gleaming, scaly catch. Small, stiff, grotesque, the sand crabs tilt, Scud slantwise as slow waves advance. With purple pennants worn by silt. The men-of-war, prey of rude chance, Lie rainbow hued, their victories o ' er, Stranded they lie, to sail no more. 104 In eddies swift the white foain sweeps Across the mussel beds, and spray Whirls round the fisher ' s feet, it leaps A stretch of sand where halas grow, Upreared on stilts, their streamers furled, Drooping from cork screw twists, tight curled. There let us rest, where we can hear The pulsing lap of rippling waves, That wander in from sea depths near, Like Proteus ' calves from ocean caves, Caressing with a soft embrace The strand, as though they love the place. From where the river joins the tide A hyacinth fleet comes floating by; On, past the shore, those galleons ride; On. out to sea. till we descry Only their sails of violet gauze, Yet on they glide, nor stay, nor pause. The brass-red sun sinks slow ; illumes The heav ' n and ocean ' s wide expanse. Straight toward that glow, two glittering plumes Stretching like streamers from a lance, The snow-white bos ' n floats on high. Out, out, a speck against the sky. The great sun dips, the deep night falls. With long, faint sighs the ocean calls. The La£t Time Ot,WA. A. W. P., ' 06 oDRIDA IT was a cold, crisp December afternoon, and. although the sun sent a few straggling beams through the branches of the leafless trees, the chilling north wind and little white fleecy clouds that were gradually growing in size and turning- gray predicted a storm not far distant. About half-past three in the afternoon a crowd of boys swung out of the high school gate, pushing each other and talking in good-natured fun. Oh. come on. Ernest. one was heard to say apparently addressing a tall, dark fellow who seemed to linger a little behind the others, What ' s the difference, the professor won ' t know, anyhow. The boy addressed shook his head and compressed his lips tightly. I can ' t. was his brief reply. Now, Ernie, began one of the others coaxingly. you never will do anything we want you to. Come along, that ' s a good chap. You needn ' t play for money, you know. put in another, but there is no sense in never having a sociable game of cards with a fellow. The only response from Ernest was another. I can ' t. I tell you. Ernest Halliday was a good boy as boys go. He studied diligently at school, he was kind-hearted and generous, to cheat or be dishonest in any way never entered his head. He was popular among both teachers and schoolmates, and. al- though he never would have made a model boy. he only had one very serious fault and that was his fondness for gambling. The very sight of a pack of cards seemed to have a strange fascination for him. He neither drank, nor smoked to excess, be it said to his credit — two things which a person who plays 106 for money nearly always falls into the habit of doing. He had been expelled from school numerous times, to be sure, when the principal had heard of his offense, but on account of his good record in the classroom he was always admitted again with merely an admonition to improve his ways and a slight lecture on the evils of gambling. All this seemed to affect him not at all until Marie Fairfax crossed his path. Marie was small, fair and charming, with light curly hair and big violet eyes, and although you would scarcely call her pretty on account of the size of her mouth and the freckles on her upturned nose, still she was fascinating beyond all description, so Ernest thought at least. Marie liked Ernest as well as he liked her, but, of course, she felt sorry for his deadful failing, and, although she said nothing, wise little soul that she was, it troubled her at times and she wished something would happen to make him see it and overcome it. As a matter of fact, something did happen, for sometime during the first half of his senior year, of course, Ernest wasn ' t sure just when, and it was a long time before he would admit it even to himself, he fell in love with Marie. After he had finally acknowledged it to himself he saw quite plainly that as matters stood it was useless, for aside from the fact that neither one of them was through school yet, he was a gambler. He had never thought of it before in that light and the suddenness with which it came over him was appalling, it sounded really terrible when he said it over to himself, A gambler, a gambler — yes, that is what I am, and then with a quick motion he rose from his chair and strode up and down the room with his hands buried deep in his pockets, But I won ' t be any longer. The term was almost over and so far he had stuck to his resolution with a desperation to be admired. He knew this afternoon he had no business to be with those boys, they were not his particular friends, and they were boys notorious for 107 their bad habits. But because he happened to be walking up the street with them was no reason why he need go with them to their favorite haunt, an old box car that had been standing empty all winter on a switch near the depot, and a capital place for them to indulge in their favorite pastime without being suspected by the principal. Xo, of course, he would not go, and he didn ' t care what they said about it, either; but somehow or other (Oh, the weakness of man!) he didn ' t leave them at his corner, but continued to Avalk slowly toward the depot with them. And then — what was the difference, he would stay just a minute and watch them ; of course, there was no harm in that, he was so sure of himself, so confident in his ability to resist temptation. So he crawled in with them, and it didn ' t take long for him to become so absorbed and interested that he took no notice of the flight of time, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, half an hour! he had completely forgotten his surroundings. Forty-five minutes, he had pushed his hat on the back of his head in his excitement and was telling one of the boys how to play. And then, before he knew it. he had taken the boy ' s place himself and in five minutes was entirely lost in the game and playing wildly and recklessly. Two hours passed before the boys, becoming tired of the play, left him and then Ernest, realizing what he had done, instead of going home, threw himself face downward on the floor of the car speechless and silent with remorse. It grew darker and darker, but he lay perfectly still ; snow began to fall in soft feathery flakes, but Ernest took no notice. Finally the leaden sky became black and the air was filled with flying- snow, and the storm had at last come in all its force. Where am I? Ernest jumped to his feet and promptly fell forward again with a jerk that sent his hat flying and caused him to groan with pain as he struck the hard floor, ' ' What in the name of — his sentence wasn ' t finished, for at that moment the car swung around a curve, completely taking 108 his breath away with the swiftness of its motion. Oh ! and he wearily raised himself again, at last understanding what had happened. He made his war cautiously over to the partly open door, hut the gust of wind that met him was bitterly cold and laden with snow. The air as far as he could see was white with it and nothing broke the soft stillness, but the distant puffing of the engine and the rumbling of empty cars. Here he was, traveling farther and farther away every moment, he knew not where ; his folks would miss him and worry ; it was night, it must be very late, but his recent fall had stopped his watch, and so he did not know what time it was. When this would stop and where his destination would be goodness only knew. On, on they sped through that wild stormy night, now crawling slower up a hill, now rushing down the other side, now whirling around curves, now rattling over trestles and now speeding through villages, but always on — ever on. Ernest had no pleasant thoughts to dwell upon, he had yielded to temptation, Marie was probably lost to him now. nothing remained, he wished onlv to go awav and hide himself for the very shame of it all. and then suddenly a terrific crash, a ripping, tearing sound, an explosion as though the earth was being blown to pieces, and then — all was darkness. When they had given up all hope that Ernest would gain consciousness again, before he died they sent for Marie. As she entered the dark, quiet room it seemed as though a ray of sunshine had entered with her. She tip-toed quietly over to the bed and stood in silence, and then, as though he knew she had entered and felt her presence near without opening his eyes, he murmured something that was scarcely more than a sigh, but Marie, bending close, just caught the words, It is the last time, Marie. and understood. 109 ' OS ' s Farewell STANLEY HENDERSON, ' 05 THE crimson dawn this splendid morn did fly, The golden sun this summer eve did fade, To our dear alma mater, Berkeley High. Our sad and dear farewell this day we bade And yet ' tis not forever dear, dear school That we to vou now bid a kind farewell, Oft in the future we shall love to tell And think of Mr. James ' delightful rule. That man so calm, so firm we ' ll ne ' er forget, Though in the everflowing tide of life We ' re whirled and tossed amid the ocean ' s strife, Because his noble precepts guide us yet. To all our teachers ever kind and true, Though oft we thought that they were cruel and hard, When in the hall we found a little card, Our hearts will never bid a last adieu. Can Ave forget the big Assembly Hall Where turmoil and confusion to us dear Through each period which seemed a year Prevailed in spite of angry teacher ' s call. no The old red brick still plainly we shall see, The well kept lawn our great Recardo ' s pride. The old back stair, the grassy yard beside. Yes, all of these in future reverie. But not alone these things we all shall hold And cherish as a pleasant memory, Our hands and hearts in grateful loyalty Will ever be to thee, oh, red and gold. Whether upon the cinder path you run. Or buck the rolling pigskin down the field, E ' en though the hard fought game you ' re forced to yield, We ' re with you, Berkeley, each and every one. Those Wednesday afternoons we ' ll not forget, Where oft engaged in fiercest argument, Too few of us our leisure time have spent, But hope that some uphold its honor yet. Our longed-for graduation ' s o ' er at last. Now rises up the golden star of fame. Now leaps the crimson blood within our frame, For from our school into real life we ' ve passed. in Physics Take it all in all, Physics is a pretty good study. In this course you not only learn Physics, but you get a general idea of housekeeping, book- keeping and keeping still. It has been said that if you are diligent you will get a good idea of horticulture, for a part of the course takes up currents, electric light plants, electric bulbs, etc. This course has a young teacher in charge. All is clear sailing and very few get reced. Senior English This study takes up the lives of men who left an impression on the world and a depression on seniors. Such great minds as Burke and Macaulay should have made their life work frenzied finance and comic opera respectively. In the words of one who is sure to get cinched: Chaucer ' s a dub, you cannot deny it. Milton is worse, you ' d better not try it. But of all the chumps in this region of sorrow, Wordsworth the worst, I ' ll sure flunk tomorrow. ClVl 1V1CS The Root of all evil. The obstruction which many a poor misguided senior knocks his brains upon. It is not only a subject that teaches us loyalty to South Carolina, but a valuable auxiliary to the Forum. Here such gasometers as Ord and T ombard slip their safety valves and compress the air within the room. Chemistry Principal work, to manufacture hydrogen sulphide and thusly scent the surrounding atmosphere. This kingdom is ruled over by Professor Pearce, who makes a specialty of rally speeches. It was Professor Pearce, assisted by the eminent chemist. George Mills, who analyzed a specimen pie on the fifth of May. It has been suggested that medals be presented those who successfully complete the chemistry course. Also that intrants should be provided with armor such as the medievals wore to protect their persons from explosions, acids, et cetera. 114 Dedicated to Mrs. Howard There ' s been trouble in the courtroom, There ' s been trouble on the bench.

Dear Polly — Can you give me an idea of the art talent in the Berkeley High School. Tours for the Revolution. BISECT AGAR. Dear Bisect — Our Berkeley High artist may be divided into two classes — those who love art and those who love those that love art. Going into details. Miss Alma Carlisle, although very modest, simply dotes on long lines and her drawings have great Merritt. Of Agar and Harrison little need be said. Of the former, if he keeps up the pace he has set some day may be able to draw a full breath. Harrison expects to draw a passing grade in Phys. Beography. Clara Burnett says she can draw better when she can get some one to pose for her. Dear Pol — Will you kindly inform me what the most interesting branch of athletics in the school is? I value your advice and hope for an early answer. VIOLET RICHARDSOX. Dear Violet — By far the most interesting and highly instructive form of athletics may be seen any morning in the north end of the school building, when Prof. Seth Harvey takes his daily exercise, throwing Kelly Reed out of Geom. IV. Of course, I would not advise any such strenuous form of exercise on your part. Continue to smile at the boys and you will find this highly beneficial as well as giving one a stand in. H. A. Dear Harry — I would like to know how an ordinary piker like me can raise money enough to play pay pool and billiards without mortgaging my suit case. Would you advise me to run for treasurer of the association like you did. Anxiously, R. RICHARDSOX. Dear Rusty — Sh-h-h-h!!! Xot a word! BOXE. 116 To catch the sw-te ply Prank Kc a. '  Agar takes a few photos at the Faculty-Senior baseball game My name ' s Lamare. I came from afar To teach le Garcon Francaise, But I ' ve got a hunch. Its a senseless bunch. Jenny say Pa is all they can say. The Hug Ride It came to pass a bonny lass With a tug at her command, Issued a bid to many a kid. And many a lass received the pass And said good-by to land. They took a seat and crossed their feet. Holding each other ' s hand, And Caminett was there, you bet, And Merritt, too, with girls a few, Smiling and blithe and bland. And Maud was there with frolicksome air, And Marybelle and Zu, And Georgie Kerr did not demur With Evelyn to talk to him To make love ' s path run true. The papers said, as you have read, That they had a jolly good time. And thanking her and the commissioner With sunburnt nose and dirty clothes, Asked me to write this rhyme. Just here the muse had to refuse To help me any more. And not another line would rhyme And not a thought there could be bought. And so I ' ll quit therefore. An Unmistakable Mistake A scrub was sent out of the room to get an excuse for absence. She came back with Kellogg McCarthy. 118 Three Stages When you rise in the morning and feel like — well, Like giving up study and being a swell, When you bum around on Center street And think that everyone ' s James you meet. You ' ve cut, my boy, you ' ve cut. And when next morning without an excuse You feel kind a shiftless and rather loose. When the prof, calls on you to recite And you think of the good time you had last night. You flunked, my boy, you flunked. When you go a week later to the rack by the door And you see a card there that makes you sore, When you cuss and swear low under your breath And you get a chill that feels like death, You ' re cinched, my boy, you ' re cinched. 119 All So Proper Dear Editor: No, we wouldn ' t put our photos in your paper because there are a lot of boys in school in whose hands we would not care to have our faces found. Besides, the Phi Epsilons wouldn ' t do it. We saved the money it would have cost and are going to have a big bust at Wright ' s during the last week of school. Please keep this quiet, as our mothers know nothing about it. The accusation in your paper that some of our girls went on a rushing party to the Bell is untrue. It was the Novelty, but we will never speak to you again if you run anything about it. Yes, we have the Alpha Sigs beaten a block. Just look at Ethel Wickson and Gladys Sims. All our girls are very proper and Sister Rickard will not let even the boy she loves best in all the world come to see her more than twice a week. Sister Lloyd is the kinger of the bunch — witness Maurice Johnson and Don Connolly. I must close now, as John Cedric is coming to see me. Cedric is such a dear boy. Yours in the sorority. MAMMOTH MARIAN CLAPP. Lambda Theta Phi House. Thirty to Nine Dear Sir: We, the girls of Delta Sigma Theta. are very much wroth over the way the boys boycotted our dance. Just think, of giving a dance and having nine boys for thirty girls. It ' s almost worse than having the ice cream stolen. However, we are not going to cry over lost boys, but will establish three more chapters before school closes. Yours till the next dance (a long time from now), LIEUTENANT MAJA McCABE. Not Connected With Turn Verein Sir — Alpha Chapter of Phi Epsilon wishes to state that it is progressing nicely and keeping up with the Delta Sigs. Although Miss Holling is our honorary, we are not a German sorority by any means. We have excellent prospects for next year. Sister Kohnke ' s sister will be here then and we will have at least one of our sisterhood before the school. Yours as ever. I AM WHITE. 120 Out of Luck Dear Editor: We ' re the original hard luck kids. Just as though it wasn ' t enough to have our refreshments lifted at the dance, now comes the news that Sister Muriel Hamm, the only senior member we have left, is getting ready to bawl herself out as someone ' s fiancee. However, we think the trouble will end here, for we think there is no immediate danger of any of the rest of us following suit. Now, there are a few mistaken ideas loose about school that we ' d like to corral. A good many have asked us if Sister Phillips is any relation to the editor of your paper. Emphatically no! That would establish too close a relationship with the Thetas, and we think that has been quite close enough already. Now another thing, we, that is I. don ' t like those Oakland girls that Albert Evers goes around with. I ' ve heard that they are not a bit nice, and besides they are Lambs. I think he ought to stay at home. Well, I think this is about all of our tough tidings for this time, although there are only about three of us who are big enough to be popular, we have a pretty keen kindergarten who will wear long dresses and smiles next year.

C. cinder path a disturbance took place on the bleachers. As a consequence an arrest took place. The date of the trial was made. Among ' those subpoenaed to be witnesses was Joe Proud- foot of this school. In compliance with the demands of the law, Joe at the appointed time stood within the dock. With his heart in his throat, he placed his hand upon the Blue and Gold which he imagined was the Holy Bible and repeated after the bailiff the time honored ritual ending ' , So help me, Solomon Levi. Your name? questioned the Zigadier Brindle of the committee. Joe Proudfoot. You should say Joseph, corrected the committee, and give your middle name. Joseph Donald Proudfoot. What were you doing on the bleachers? I just Young man, did you pay to see that field day? I — I — what — yes — no — I guess I ' m — answered the flabbergasted young witness. Remember, sir, that you are dealing with a court of justice that has the welfare of the community at heart. Be careful of your answers. Which way was the wind blowing at the time you stood upon the bleachers? Your honor, I don ' t remember exactly, but I think it was blowing up the track. What, young man, do you dare to come before this august body and state such anarchistic ideas as this. Sir, look to yourself. Was it by the sense of smell, sight, feeling or instinct that you detected this man ' s actions? I, sir, don ' t exactly know, sir, but I instinctively felt that something was wrong. I Young man, what do you mean? Can you not express yourself clearly? I would suggest that you freight your speech. All right, sir, I ' ll try. Now, young man, your evidence on the whole has been very good and valuable. Always remember this in the future that the quality of mercy is not strained, neither can the sands of Time be sifted. Take this for your motto. Hocus Pocus Imporatus, and live up to it and you will become a useful as well as an ornamental one. With this parting shot Joe was released from the witness box. and now in obedience to the injunction of the court leads a clearer, purer life. At first glance one would never think that this is Paul Bailey- Such innocence as shows in those wide blue eyes- The general air, how- ever, suggests a forcible character- To look at this lad one would never recognize the elongated point, the Paul Bailey of today. 123 Our George stood on the pedestal, a wreath upon his brow; This is as things should have been, but read how they are now.

Some few misguided scrubs they worked, some digs and sauer bawls, There wasn ' t much they didn ' t catch roamed up and down the halls. The athletic bunch said, to the woods, the girls said, not for mine, But Gladys and Maud and Wilkie, too. all thought that George was fine. Election day came round at last, the dope said George w T ould win, One forty to four eighty-three was what they handed him. 124 Farce in One Act Act I Science 1: Geometry Class: Harvey, teacher.

Our fraternity was organized in 1900 and now we have twenty- four chapters, so you see we are making good progress. We lead the P. D. Q. ' s by several chapters and the Thetas look like a grammar school frat along- side of ours. We know what our frat can do for a fellow and we have already done with some of them. Brother Bowman is in the north suffering from a severe attack of appendicitis. Brother Baker is still managing our affairs and sending good reports East. Brother Newcomb is kind enough to give us his house and there is no doubt that we have the finest fraternity house in Berkeley. Although we are not in with the Lambs, we nevertheless have many girl friends. We have a brother in the University, and in this way are assured of a welcome when we enter there several years from now. Our initiations are becoming as far famed as the Skull and Keys running in college, and since we came here the Lick school has changed its colors. I must close now. as I have another circular letter to write to the sororities. P. S. — Brother Stearns almost ran for manager of the Olla Pod. He would have gotten it if he hadn ' t declined.

' COLCHESTER, ROBERTS CO. 126 ILohi transcript How It All Came Out In ancient days the curfew tolled the kneel of parting day, But in later times it is the Bell that smooths all cares away. There would have been nothing known about it at all, not a word, if the girls had not blurted it out. It was like this: Three of them stopped the editor in the hall and after customary salutations sailed in and told their story. It was something like this: Helen — Oh, Mr. , Mr. Monett has the mistaken idea that five of us girls went down to the Novelty last week. Now you know what our mothers would think if they heard of it. It would be simply awful. Mary — Oh, Mr. , you can put anything you want about me if you will only keep this out. The girls were growing threatening and the poor male, ignorant of the situation, called for an explanation. Ethel — Well, the funny part of it is that we didn ' t go to the Novelty at all. (It was the Bell.) Now, we ' ll never speak to you again if you publish that. You ' ll be sorry all the days of your life. Helen — Now, you know you told us you wouldn ' t put that in. Joshing is not so bad, but this is no josh. Just think how we will be queered if this comes out. Silence is golden. But they talked too much. 127 Mr. John Priestley, who owns the Roosevelt watermelon ranch near this place, dropped into this office yesterday and reported that all was well out his way. He had jusl received a letter from his son William, who is a student in the Berke- ley High School. MHth his per- mission we reprint that his friends hereabouts may know what he is doing. Dear Folks : I received your welcome let- ter and you can ' t imagine how homesick it made me feel. It brought ud the old home and I could see as Dlain as if I was there, the cows and chickens and mother and Sally on the back stoop watching father milk the cow and Joe splitting wood. I play on the baseball team now. The fellows say I ' m a peach. I got 90 in physical geography and Mr. Dowues says [ ' U get promoted, sure. I saw Uncle Bill the other day and he borrowed that last five dollars you sent me.
