Jforetoorb TN line with what has now become a tradition of the school, this final edition of the Olla Podrida takes its place. For us the members of the class of June 1908, the four years of our high school course are come to an end. That stretch of time, which at the beginning seemed almost endless, has passed as a flash, and today we stand at the parting of the ways. It is our hope that in the future these pages may serve as a remembrance of our schoolmates and teachers of these years, and by them we may recall with pleasure this commencement time. We have also endeav- ored to review the events of the past term and to issue a book that may be in some measure representative of the school and its activities, and of interest to its members in general. As we send forth this volume, we hope that you into whose hands it falls may remember that we are but amateurs and may consider our work as that of students of the Berkeley High.

The Berkeley High School. DOUBTLESS many of us know but little of the history of Berkeley High School, and we should, as students of this school, be interested in its history. For the benefit of all our readers, this article, the most of which has been gathered from old 011a Podridas and from the plan of the new Polytechnic High School, has been written. The idea of having a Berkeley High School was first con- sidered in 1880. when the Board of Education recommended the formation of a high school class in August. Under this arrangement seven students took up the high school course, which consisted of Algebra, Latin, Physical Geography, Eng- lish Composition, Greek and Roman History. The course was rearranged and graded to allow students to enter the University of California. By 1884 the school had progressed so satisfactorily that it was placed on the accred- ited list of the State University. This was under the super- vision of Principal W. W. Anderson. Mr. Anderson resigned in 1884, and Mr. Veghte was chosen Principal. Mr. Veghte held the position until 1890, when Mr. S. D. Waterman succeeded to the position. Thirty-five pupils were enrolled in the High School by 1886, and ten years later this number had increased to two hundred and seventy.
