Ill the four y Mrs of student life at the Berkeley High, we have ])assed thro many trials and have also Ik ' en the cause of iiiucli trial to iiiir faculty, for which we now fee ' ri ' inMilant. ( )ii eiitci iiig this High Sdiool we iiuuKMliately hecnmc jiart of llie student hody. and as a jiarl. although a minor ]iart, we maufully strug liled to heconie a recognized factor m school acti ilies. This yv think that we ha -e don ' in our four years of s -hool life. We claim that we have made a record, which any class might he proud ot. In our time at this school many fellow students have joined and left us. Some have been called to other schools and some have heeu called from among us hv Death. Nevertheless we remain the same old (dass in sjurit. if noi in ]KM-sonnid. a when, we first entered school. In athletics the mend)ers of our (dass have taken a very active ] art. In oui- days at school se -eral championships have been won. The Baseball League was won in our first year at school and for this we received a silver ( up. In foot-ball we have won the Hearst Foot- ball Tro])hv twice and now it rests u])on the other classes to gain it the third time to keep ii in our ]iossession. In all branches of athletics (basketball, baseliall, football, tennis. sAvimming. rowing and track i we have always upludd ihe school ' s fair name. 20 June 1906 In social life oni- class lias not been lacking. Every year we have given the cnstoniary dances, but the ir enior Ball has been given n] , dnc qjj TO the conditions following the disaster of April ISth. P cl id Xor has the Literary i)art of our life been forsaken, for the nieni bers of this class have contributed to the Olla Podrida, have joined the Forum, or taken part in inanv of the concerts and benefits given by school pupils for various jmrposes. We have also had to forego the customary Senior Farce for the same reason as for gi ing up the Senior Ball. As we gave u]) all other Senior activities, we lia ' e done our best to nuike this, the final edition of the 011a Podrida, a filling memento of our four years as uiend)ers of the class of l!

James 32 INGE the adoption of the Associaied Students ' ( ' onstitntioii. the Foiaini has reorganized to rnee( tlie new conditions. Three debates have already been held nnder the ans])ices of the Fornni, and another is in preparation. The first was held Avith Lick last fall. Berkeley ' s team Avas composed of Noble vStover, George Smith and Chauncev Eldridge, and were victorions. The same team defeated Commercial ' s representatives in the semi-final debate of the ' 06 tournament for the Stanford Cup last Febrnarv. This ])laced Berkeley in the finals with the Blind Institute. A second team was selected to represent Berkeley, composed of Perrin Orchard, John Service and Will Darch. The time for pre] aration Avas all too short, and the Blind debaters Avere judged Avinners. This set-back did not check Berkeley ' s debaters in the least. A schedule Avas applied for. As Oakland Avas also Avithout a debate, the tAvo schools were sched- uled for the first debate in the ' 07 tournament and the tenth annual debate betAveen the schools. Berkeley ' s first team Avas preparing their speeches AAdien the recent disaster came, and it Avas decided to postijone the debate until next term. All of Berkeley ' s speakers re- turn next fall, but tAvo places Avill liaA-e to be filled on Oakland ' s team. The Forum has supported debating financially Avithout the prom- ised help of the Associated Students. The admission fee, dues and an assessment Avere sufficient to pay all current expenses, and to partly defray the cost of coaching. A small debt for the latter Avill have to be carried over until next term. Tt is to be ho])ed +hat the school Avill maintain debating hereafter if that activity is to be car- ried on successfully. 33 Olla Podrida June 1906 THE The Girls Debating Society , - T Hl i seiuester has witnessed The fomidinji ' of a Girls ' Debating- -society in Berkeley High. The name of rlu new institntion is rli(- ••Agora ami iiHMns ••an assembly. It as therefore lliuuglil to be an aiiiu-oiiriau- name as the boys ••Fornm has a sim- ihir meaning. T -() debates have been held so far and they were very interesting as ' (dl as sm-cessfiil. They -ere a siitticient ])roof to all those present That tlie girls can debate ;inil l an debate -ell. The d(n tdo] linen t of the Agora lias been rajiid. It has joined the Debating League of California ami has a nicnilnM-ship of i h i rt ' t wo. This (juiek growth is due to a large extent to .Miss .Maxwell, the hon- orary member of the society, and to IMiss Marion (iates. the Pres- idc-nt. Xow That tlu work of organization is completed, let all the girls come forward and help on The movement. Even if yon have no talent for deliaiing. still it is yonr dnty to yourself and to yonr school, to aid in e ' ei-y way ]iossibi( the earnesi etforts (d ' the ni ' Mnbers- of the Agora. 34 Fof the senior nnti Olla Podrida June 1906 A FEW energetic Seniors recently set abont tlie task of organ- izing a Senior Honor Society, and an organization, wliicli is known as the Lamp and Qnill, ' is The resnlt of their labor. The society aims to be an important factor in the sn])port of the As- sociated Students and expects to raise any outstanding debts ' against that body. The society has already held several meetings and an excellent constitution was adopted at one of the first of these.

They haw furnished enterTainmeuT at several debates, and their excellence has become so wtdl kno ' n. that we loolv forward to a debate as a ]il( ' asam time e -( ' n rliougli lilt ' debate itself may be ,lry. The two new musical organizations are an Orchestral and a liand. TIh ' sc liax ' c not yet taken a good start, bm •(- -ill lica.r from them in the future. The Orchestra is under the supervision of Mr. ' ater- maii. and nndiM- his able leadership A ill no doubt make good. ()nh (dassical music is played at the rehearsals and the oi-i;anizatioii aim. ' - to develop high school talent in the playing of musical i nsi rumeiits. The Band was organized for the pnr})Ose of playing at rallies. h(dd days, games, etc.. and hence creating school s])irit. All tlir organizations have ■worthy objects in view and should be sup]ioi-ted bv the school. 36 O OTHEK class thai has oTi dnated from Berkeley Hi h School ever looked forward to the gayeties of ( ' oimiienceinent ' eek with more pleasure or more pride than the class of ll)(l( . and yet Fate decreed that all the festivities, so eagerly anticipated, slionld be done away with entirely. We hav; graduated to be sure, and we had the customary graduation exercises, with speeches, music and th e ])resentation of diplomas, but our Farce, and our gloriou ; Senior l all, live in our memories only as things that might have Ix ' cn — a half-formed dream of something bright and beautiful, bul almost buried now beneath the stern reality of things that have ha})pened since. The present term gave every jiromise of being one of the gayest Berkeley High School has ever seen, and while no High School dances were given during the first months, rather it seemed as though they were all to come as a grand finale. There were numerous social gath- erings of a smaller sort, and the time passed very rapidly. Tf it had not been for the calamity wliich came to us, there probably would have been three large High School dances during the last two months — the Alumni Dance, the Farewell Recei)tion to the Seniors, and the Senior Ball. Plans for the first and last named Avere Avell under way. and. also most of the arrangements had been made for the Farce, and if all had gone well, The Schoolmistress, would have been irc sented at A ' e Liberty Playhouse, by the graduating class sometime during Commencement AVeek. Now it is all ditterent. But while we missed most sadlv the gayeties that other classes have had before, we do not com])lain. l ut rather wish the classes that follow us even a more successful and enjoyable graduation than we had hoped to have. 37 SEXiOKt , the Aluiiini of tlie Berkeley High School wel- i-onie YOU into theii- midst.

A ' e have tuiiuMl out twn suc- cessful teams, winning the Academic championshij) in h( th football and basketball. In the other branches of athletics we have not been so successful — but we still have ho])es. In baseball our prospects seemed good when tlie catastro])he of -Ijiril IStli. terminated all further competitions in this line. Track athletics were also affected by the same cause, as we had one more field meet scheduled. Our tennis team did not have a chance to com- pete for Academic honors, as the tournament had been set for a later date. HoAvever. a c are not drse off than iiiaiiy otlier California schools, and l)esides we have two trojdiy cups to grace our new High School building. As to the su])port given to the various teams during the year — it was not good to say the least. Football, because of its peculiar hold upon the student body aroused some enthusiasm, but basketball and track were poorly supported. There were small crowds at many im- portant games and field days, in place of the fine showing the school could make if it would. It has been said that the only kind of spirit that Berkeley High has is the rough-house spirit, and the general im- pression is that the school should wake u]i and support its activities.

The credit then must be uixcn to the team itself. To say thai ihey played a yood all-around lianie would expressing it mildly: they were a cliaiiipionshi]i team in every respect.

Morrin ]sos sesses the necessary strength and endurance 1o make a good center, so that he was always to be fouiul covering tlie ball and playing wliei-e he was most needed. Harold IMaylon and Francis Isgrigg played at guard, and both These men possessed the (|nalitic,itions for tliat ])osition to a marked Oik Podrida June 1 906 CAPTAIN JOHNSON 1906 CHAMPIONSHIP BASKET-BALL TEAM degree. Their playing Avas a revelation and they could alwavs be found in the tliickest part of the game. Tliey tlms prevented their o])])()nent.s from scoring and aided our forwards in throwing l)askets. The faitliful practice of Hardy and Bartlett deserves mention, for alThongh they did not i)lay in the final games, they could nlwavs he relied upon to hll any vacancy which might occur. Manager Chalmeus THE finances of the Associated Students did not ])ei-nnt tlse en- gaging of a track coach this term, and so this dnty fell to Captain Isgrigg. Under the circnnistances he turned out a verv creditable team, and but for the misfortune of losing some of our best men, we would have made a fine showing in the League. Besides hav- ing representatives in the Stanford meet, we entered a strong team in the A. A. L. The good points of our team can best be indicated by what they accomplished in the latter field day. Captain Isgrigg took fonrth ])lace in tlu (piartcM-, and ran a fast lap in the relay. Captain-elect Ball demonstrated his ability by taking second in the nule, by a strong sprint at the finish. Howard Morrin succeeded in taking second in the high jump. Ernest Cha]unan, besides running a good lap in the relay, took fourth place in the broad jump. Calvin Holmes ran a gritty lap in the relay after coming within a few feet of a place in the quarter. He should m;ikc a good showing next season. Albert Rathbone, another relay man, ran as ])retty a la]) as has been seen on the track in many a day. He ought to be good for several ])oints next year. (}coi-ge Harlo e, a new man, ran a good laj) in llic relay, nid will prow valuable as a member of next year ' s team. Pete Lumbard. our short la]) man, made a good showing this season and w ill no doubt help to make a winning relay Icaiii next year. .57 illiaui Hniifnril. n mnii slmws jii-diiiisc of iiial iiii: ]MiiiiTs in ilii ilisrauces in tIk- fall field days. tieoTiip -lanliiip -as euTt ' i-ed in Tlu- jiole ;nilr. mr an arcideuT in jn-ai-rice kepT liini fi-nni i iini]M-rinii. will lie all rlip lieittM- n ' xr vi-ai- fill- rlii?. season ' s eXjuM-ience.

STEEL U9 1) yon know w liaT il is t(i liave the thread of your life suddenly broken by a i;rear calaniily? To be alive and yet dead? If so. you can syni])athi e with Lnca and understand his ])osition. Yesterday he was a lijilit-liearted Italian boy — today he is a man. with a j reat sorrow ihirkening- his mind. For the first time. de;itli is a reality to him. He -alked slowly along the road, leading from the little town of Tcn-re Annun .iata. so lately destroyed, to the citN which feared hourly destruction. The way was crowded with the terrified villagers: some in little farm wagons packed with their few household treasures, others like Lnca. w alking empty-handed, stunned by the sudden calam- ity which had owrtaken them. The smoke hung like a )i W over their heads. Soon it would enclose them, and Xaples. their goal, would be lost to view. They were descending the hill, and in the distance could be seen the broad cur e of the bay. the city of Xaples. backed by its am])hitheatre of white terraces, and ci-ow ned with the frowning fort of St. Elmo. The cr() -d moved, for the most part, in silence. Here, a mother (piieted her child, there a driver encouraged his plodding donkey; and then again the silence. Luca ])aid no attention to his fellow sutferers. His mind was filled with his own sorrow. Wliy had his mother and father been killed, while others less worthy were spared? O, why had he not stayed to ])rotect them, when the ominous • ' Pine Tree waved on A ' esuvins? ' hy should he live, when there was notliing left in his little world to live for? These were The thoughts croAvding his mind, as lie trudged wearily on to the city. His ambitions had been higli — - 66 to study, to liecoiiie ii-pat ; ]i( ' i-li;i])s to sil in the i i cut couiK il of I lie uoveriiiiient at Koiue. Hut dow. wliat did it niatter? He wauled to die — to foi-get the ])ast and the di-eanis of the futnre. The twelve miles between Torn Anininziata and Xajjh ' s had iie -ei- seemed so long to tlie weary and teiTor-stricken i)easants who fi-udi ed them on that morning in the twilight of falling ashes and dense smok( To Luca it seemed years since he liad seen his nncl( th ' ])riest. and his little consin Corona. In reality, it as hut a few honrs. He had left them hurriedly to seek his ])arents in this hour of danger for he had lieen in Xa])le8 at the time of the ernjition.

At last the fleeiug villagers were approaching Na])les. The streets were crowded, but there was not the awed silence of the country road. Talking excitedly, gesticulating a.lways. the people gathered in gron])s, blocking the narrow streets, while each told of soni ' new horror, or })redicted worse to come. Here, a woman prayed fei-vently 1o the Madonna ; there tired, hungry children walled disconsolately on the street, or sle] t on a doorstep. Lnca hurried ]jast them all and entered the humble h( m ' of his nm-le. Father (Tas])aro. The little room was bare of ornament. A crucifix hung over the table, and a colored i)i-int of the Holy Mother on the Avail.

The glow of the snnset was all aroniid tlH ii. on water. liilN and sky. They smiled liajtpily as the old ])riest said: ■ To See Xa]iles and die is soiiHMhing, but I would see San Fran- cisco and live. .Vnd now they were drawing nearer to tlu wi-ecked city. Against the sky. the broken walls and mined buildings stood out (dearly. Tliere was neither flame nor smoke, but the soft light of the sunset, showing all the desolation. Then, for the first time, they realized that theii- dream was shat- tered, their illusion gone. Here, instead of the golden-paved city ( f their dreams, was greater ruin than they had left in Italy. This was not the coming they had ])ictured. In ])ainful silence they stood in the Feri-y Building, gazing at the wreck befor - tlieiii. and knew not wliich way to turn. The old man ti ied to speak l)ut woi-ds failed him. ( ' orona was tired, and now that tlie excitement of antici])ation was gone, and the truth forced itself n])on lier, her strength failed, and she leaned weakly against her un( le. trying to be brave. Luca took her hand, and silently the three followed their guide u]) tlie ruined street. On and on they walked. Here the street was impassable and they must go round many blocks to find a way. It seemed to Corona they walked for miles along streets lined on either side with ruined buildings; but Luca had no thought for the distance.

And now they were leaving the burnt district to enter one almost as pitiful.

The morning was well worn. The (Miaruihiii Sally was now nnder way, and ra])idly leaving the harbor. Her blocks and tackles creaked. The wind loared steadily against her canvas.

The moon, robed in full splendor, cast a weird, uhostly light through the rigging of the shi]). The wind dying down by degi-ees had finally ceased, and the sheets hung in silent, batdike festoons over head. Faintly, borne on the stiff air, came the duli boom of a distant gun, and then another, telling that somewhere in all that vastuess, were the battleships still hunting hopelessly. Th Sally still throbbed, though not so violently, and (piivered as if fright ened by the hmeliuess of it all. The night was ominous. The crew, glad for mutual company, asserabled round the galley, and told sea-tales, to the delight of those within the circle, but to the Terror of those who had occasion to leave it for some other ])art of the vessel. Often their conversation was interrupted by a shrill voice, raised higli above the rest.

When the clamjjs had been adjusted, everything worked well until it came to loosen them from the hull. They absolutely refused to work, and in our ain endea )rs to free otirselves from your hull, we struck, again and again, each blow sounding like a cannon shot to us. Often we could faintly hear the re])ort of a gun. and concluded the s(iuadron was in search of us.

For God ' s sake, rescue them, he cried. The mystery being (deared, ])reparatioiis were at once made to relieve those in the submarine.

And braves with clubs and guns supplied. But Vollmer hunted high and low. Were scattered far and near. Nor found the other three. Miller and Mc. ' mongst the rest, Did pace through drj or wet; And also Johnny Pike, And brave young DeJarnett. Miller was at breakfast, Pike his chickens fed. While Mc. swears he cleaned his We think he went to bed. ' un- Vollmer he was highly pleased; There now are ,iobs to let. He ordered them gold medals But they haven ' t got them yet. The Clock Teached Papa Johnson — What time is it that you are getting in young man? Herbert — About one o ' clock. (Clock strikes three.) Papa Johnson (sarcastically)— My how that clock stutters! Ungrammaticl Miss McLean — You should nol say ' haircut ' Mr. Brayton. Fuey — Why not? Miss McLean— Because it is a barberism. cA Caution When a girl smiles your way don ' t rush right in and grab it. It is best to retain a dignified aloofness until you ascertain whether it ' s your manly beauty or your grotesque taste in the matter of clothes that caused the smile. Some girls have a sense of humor. 81 Initiation of The ' ' Milpitas T wins To the Honorable Fraternity of Pi Kappa PI Gentlemen: Berkeley, CaJ. . Jan, 9, 1906. I I hereby apply for adniesion Into the high and myaterlooa Fraternity known as Pi Kappa Pi. agreeing to endure the initiation services without a murmur, ob r all t « rules of the organization and pay the monthly dues of ten (10) oeit- . i pledge myself to keep most secret all that has tr:,rsjj.rcJ tMs night and all that may follow , 9C . Remember the night the clouds poured out Great puppy dogs and cats, And made poor Berkeley city look Like one of Jones ' hats? Bosco Thompson and a bunch. Had been to visit ' Frisco; They did the town and made a feed On ice cream and N?bisco. The train got drowned and had to stop Way down by Ashby Street. Bosco thought he ' d go ashore, So undertook the feat. He pulled his pants way up above The place they ought to be. And struck out bravelj ' cross the street, But sorely pressed was he. The torrent whirled abound him. Midst cries of Thompson, go! He stoutly swam the awful flood; His legs, they came in tow. And when he seemed triumphant. And safely reached the walk, The wind came by and took his hat. And all his work did mock. He lingered but a second. Then to the flood returned. That treasured lid must not escape; All thought of fear was spurned. The passengers did laugh for joy To see poor Bosco swim. He reached his hat and then skidooed; That M ' as the last of him. Thompson got to bed that night, At half past three or four. Now, Piedmont Baths will do for him; The Ashby streets no morel Colossal Miss Frank — Take your feet down. Snook, so that I can see whc-it the boys behind you are doing. 83 Poorie) Service Olla Podrida June 1906 Say did you know that Jonathan Service was a queener? Yes, he ' s a reg- ular humdinger — the real coy kid. Yoti know he gets that water ice smile of his spread over his visage, and the girls succumb as did the sandwiches before Chauncey E. at Lucile ' s party. And Dud. Poore, that rich Goldfielder, he trifles with Cupid ' s dangerous toils a little himself. Yes, you know he and Johnny made up their minds the same night to call on that friend of Charlie Thomas ' up the street. ■ What ' s hei- name? Oh: yes. Amy Morrish. Well, Johnny got there first, and talk about falling into a paradise of ice cream, chocolates, and grenadine punches I Amy, not expecting any of the brave sex that nigh . had filled her parlors with the maids of her Sunday school class. Johnny was just simply it for awhile. The girls thought he was part of the entertainment, and congratulated Amy on the way he was gotten up. Everything was just glorious. Then — enter Poore. Johnny knew chat he was just six high against a pair of Jacks there. Dud, you know, had a fresh supply of Goldfield jokes, which he blended into his vocabulary with great success. Jonathan stood it as long as his tender nature would allow. Then he decided that although he liked it kind of More-ish all right, that Poore was too many for him. So he suddenly remembered that he had promised to meet a fellow down town, and midst the heartfelt regrets of Dudley and the rest he departed. That night he waited for Poore till half past one, with a six-foot fence rail in his hand. But he miscalculated his man. Ditd was reposin,g midst the smiles of fair damsels till long after Service was asleep. But Johnny v ill get him yet. Frank Ager drew a cartoon on The Senior-Faculty game. And in the group with unbershoot, He mentioned Chester ' s name. Chester — you know he runs (?) the Pod — Could not stand for such a dart, So with hammer and chisel he scratched away The name of Ristenpart. We thought at first we could not run The Pod without his name; It might perhaps reduce the sales, Or at least keep down its fame. So we take the opporcunity To save the school from fraud, And Chester ' s name is without stain Here mentioned in the Pod. 84 Agar Portrays he Faculty — Senior Game (FIRST PRIZE) A cMtdsummer Nighfs Dream Podnda BV ROV SHURTLEFF Oscar was oh, so sleepy. Mother tucked him gently in bed; he said his Now I lay me and — presto — his days troubles were o ' er. The first thing he knew his gentle spirit had kicked the bucket, vamoosed from its sinful, earthly temple, and was wandering towards the fields of oblivion. ?Je came to the mouth of Hades, where Cerberus, that famous three-headed canine, met him, growling and showing his awful fangs. What cha want, he breathed (Cerberus had a habit of breathing). ' Why, I ' m through with earthly things — you know — quit my skin — dead. I guess you call it, explained Oft. Oh, said Cerberus, Er — how long have you been dead? Well — I lived in Oakland for awhile — Oh, that ' s all right then, you can go. You know I don ' t let any one pass who has not been dead at least a month — that is, except those from Oakland or Alameda, and they ' re so used to being dead — now if you were from Berkeley — but already the gentle spirit had passed and was gone. He traveled along over the huge peaks of remorse and through the valley of flunked exes, ' till he came to the famous riverlet, Styx. Hello, Charon, old boy, he cried, as he saw that venerable gazabo coming up in his new, twin- screw, double action, compressed air launch. But Charon gave him one of those glassy looks, the kind that put Aeneas under, and said: ' Ah. you have the best of me, Mr. Ah — Lane, corrected Oscar. Oh, said Charon, don ' t just remember you; let ' s see, were you with Caesar at Bull Run, or under Collis P. at Waterloo? — No — no; said Oscar, looking annoyed. Don ' t you know — Lane — Ber- keley High — under James — I saw your ad in the ' Pod ' — Oh, yes; answered Charon; (aside) Lll look out for this fellow. I ' ve seen lots of crooked lanes in my century. Then aloud — That ' s all right, come right in. Ah, how ' s Will getting along — bright chap tuat — what! don ' t know Will — why. Bill Shakespeare — Guess he didn ' t go to my school, faltered O. W. L. Oh, yes; you ' re right; why he flew the coop, didn ' t he — believe he ' s down here. Believed I towed him over last week — or was it last year — guess it was in 16. You say you saw my ad. in the ' Pod? ' Ben Franklin still run- ning that? No? Well I ' m getting behind th - times. Guess I ' ll have to take a trip to dear old Berkeley again. How I used to enjoy myself, up there wan- dering ' neath the beautiful pines and hemlocks with — let ' s see — was it Pliny or Aristotle? Pliny, suggested Oscar. I know a Pliny up there. The one that wrote the papers? queried Charon. June 1906 85 The one thai rolled the papers, did you say? asked Ott. Guess that ' s Olla Podrida June him cause he — No! No! Come to think of it. it was Confucius I was thinking of. Then silence ensued for awhile. Nice boat you ' ve got here. ventured Oscar, at length. Mere tub, answered Rev. Charon, with feigned indifference. A beau- tiful damsel named Florencia Spearibus. left it here. Wanted to have a tug- ride on the brook here, but I wouldn ' t stand for it, till her dad came through with this piece of mechanism. Say it ' s a beauty when it ' s skilfully handled though, don ' t you think? I should imagine. spouted Oscar. Oh! that is — yes — but you ought to see Sam Weston run a boat — Silence, commanded Charon. We are about to land on the Isle of Diplomats. Oh. those that received diplomas? wailed Oscar. Please don ' t. I ' d feel so ashamed of myself. You know there was some mistake about it. I didn ' t get mine. Mr. .lames — I mean — Mr. Clark, gave it to my little brother, and he lost it. Just then the boat struck a snag, an awful concussion ensued, resulting from the escaping of compressed air as the boiler blew up, precipitating Oscar, clear over the Isle of Diplomats, and landing him right at the feet of Proser- pine. With a cry she jumped up and saved the inert body from rolling on into awful Erebus; then surely it would have been all off. When our hero came to, he felt a gentle hand caressing his brow, while another five-fingered mem- ber was pouring Pabst Blue Ribbon down his windpipe. Wh-where am I? groaned Oscar. That bloomin ' boati!! And 1 was attracted by the positive pole and — Never mind, my noble youth, said she of the milk white hand. Lay thy head on this pillow of morning dew till they pain skidoos. That I will, sweet Lucile, sighed Oscar (the reader is to understand, Oscar was raving). In contentment, will I sojourn here, till the cows come home. But gentle boy. breathed Proserpine, I am not thy Lucile, but Proser- pine, the queen of all I can see here below (She w-as nearsighted.) I am wife of Pluto and favored of all the gods. Nevertheless, at sight of thee I am distraught with sudden passion. Come youth! Fly with me to Kansas, where will I be divorced from my base better half, and together hereafter we will float through life in my merry Oldsmobile. Ah. Mrs. Pluto, spouted Oscar. I know how great thy passion for me must be, for so are affected all maids of B. H. S. And fain would I accept thy gilt-edged proposition, but I am pledged to another whose silken tresses are more lovely than even tlry ambrosial locks. But believe me — What ' s that sound? It awakens fond memories of Miss Muller ' s gentle voice raised in anger. Prosey, oh! Prosey Proserpine. I say — Come here this minute! Well, by the great Solinsky, what art thou doing with a strange young man ' s head in thy lap? cried Pluto, coming up in his White Steamer. 86 With the tact boin of woman, Prosey jumped to her feet an.l went with loving caresses to the side of her lord. Why. my dear, wheie did you ger all that horrid soot on thy new Van Dyke? ' she cried, running for I he dish- cloth to remove the blotches. • ' Oh. it was that confounded new lamp, a guy sold Diogenes the other day. Smokes like a Blue Seal cheroot. But say you ought to see poor old Dido. He held the lamp up in the face of a new arrival from Califoi-nia; Peck, I think his name was. Just then fhe lamp began to smoke, and goi Peck ' s milk-white complexion all dirty. He landed the poor old man a solar plexus blow with his left, that would have killed anyone but a shade As it was it passed clear through him. I put Peck in Erebus on a diet of Frank- furters and Raspberry soda water for two centuries. He says he ' ll be blamed if he can get onto the stunts these Hadians put up in a scrap. And the old man chuckled to himself as he succumbed to the dish cloth, dipped in nectar. Meanwhile Oscar decided that he had better be breezing along if he didn ' t want to have a case of alimony on his hands. So watching for a mo- ment when Proserpine ' s back was turned, and Pluto ' s face was enveloped in the essence of dish rag, he jumped to his feet and did the four-forty stunt toward the Bridge of Sighs. He was nearly across when he heard ;.n awful racket, and looking up, saw immortal Hector and his band of gridiron heroes, bearing down upon him. Well. I ' ll die game anyway, cried our hero, and he drew his trusty breath and charged in amongst the padded warriors — Oscar —Oh! Oscar! Get up I say! Here it ' s eight o ' clock and you get right along to school. I ' m not going to have any more of those cinch notices ornament- ing my mail. Come! All right — Say mother, I had the funniest dream — Get up I say! Skit — or I ' ll throw some cold water on you! Now Oscar says no more mince pies for him just before going to bed. Too strenuous a life for night shift. Olla Podrida June 1906 87 Something cHe Tammany Norton ' s Biograph Powder — Produces fantastic moving pic- ttires while you sleep. To be taken upon retiring.

The Janitor Escapes Olla Podrida June 1906 On April eighteenth, in the morn, Before folks rose from bed, An earthquake shook this college town Enough to raise the dead. A janitor of Berkeley High, Was sleeping m the school, In the little room near Miss McLean ' s. According to his rule. The earthquake shook, the chimneys fell, The roof came crashing through, And Mr. Church in honor stood, Not knowing what lo do. Then as the temblor stopped to rest, The janitor skidooed; And quickly on the outside Of the building he was viewed. Into a fast long-distance man, He developed then ard there; He hit the pike for San Jose, Nor stopped to take in air. Now if you wish to josh this man. About that little shake, Just say; Eighteenth of April; You don ' t have to say eartaquake. 91 Dec. 18 — Beginning of Xmas holiday ; came liome and lost books at U-No. SHORTHAND In the Short Way PITMAN OR GREGG The Oahland Shorthand Institute A HIGH-GRADE PRIVATE SCHOOL That Specializes in the In trud:ion of Shorthand and Typewriting Our Amanuensis Course Equips the student thoroug-hi ' anti pnicticaliy for the Business or Law Office.
