repaired and was occupied again in January, 1907, and has been the home of Berkeley High School ever since. On August 14 a special bond election was held and $200,- 000 for site and new buildings and $20,000 for repairs on the old building authorized. Land adjoining the old High School building was purchased for $35,000. The plans of Stone Smith, for the Assembly Hall, General Science building and the shops were accepted, and the contract was av arded to Childs Arlett for construction at a cost of $155,602, to be completed July i, 1908. The Grand Lodge of Masons laid the corner stone of the new buildings on August 24, 1907, Mr. Hart, Grand Master, officiating. The new assembly hall will seat about 1,000, and is made of reinforced concrete. The main building is also made of reinforced concrete and has two large floors and a flat roof, which will probably be used as a basket-ball court. The first floor contains a typewriting room, stenography room, com- mercial room, library, three class-rooms and a museum. The second floor has physics laboratory and lecture room, a biology laboratory and lecture room, a chemical laboratory and lecture room, and a physical geography laboratory. The shops have a foundry room, blacksmithing room, ma- chinery room, woodworking room, lecture room and office, with a drawing room and wash-room upstairs. Berkeley High School has been growing steadily, and bids fair to be one of the most famous schools of the Pacific Coast in knowledge acquired by its students, competent instruction and excellence in all branches of athletics. Since 1905 the his- tory of athletics in Central California has been, in a large measure, the history of Berkeley High School, and it remains for the undergraduates to keep up this reputation.
