Circus V £ £ r I iHE greatest show on earth, the world ' s most mammoth marvels. No, this wasn ' t the Ringling Brothers, Sells-Floto, Al G. Barnes, or Barnum and Bailey ' s circus, but a small replica of each, all crammed into our high school on the date of February 21, 1919, with a real parade, lemonade, sandwich and hot dog booths, sideshows, peanut and candy venders, and spielers. Once more Berkeley came forward as the school that knows how , and through the co-operation of her students and faculty gave her scrubs a rousing welcome, and herself and friends a royal good time, besides raising a larger sum of money than either of the two former circuses. Promptly at the end of the sixth period everybody went to his advisory to buy tickets and prepare for the stunts. At one o ' clock sharp the parade began, going first to each advisory and then around the block. Then came the rush for the best stunts. All afternoon the crowds surged from one attraction to another. They taxed the strength of the gate-keepers in their eagerness to pull fish from the Pool of Mystery, or to behold Movies from France, and the Electrical Marvels of the Age. Wise seniors looked far into their future in the fortune-telling booth. Scrubs grabbed in the Grabbery, or watched the message from the Dead flash from the skull of one of the ancients, or gazed with awe on the strength of foreign wrestlers. Middlers, being themselves curious, viewed the Freaks, and saw the smallest lynx, the hairless dog, and the biggest monkey in captivity, or discovered who started the flu, and took pointers from the fashion show . Many took the trip around the world; attended the Independenceville town meeting and were entertained by the town band and choir. Others went into the Chamber of Horrors, where they saw the heads of three of Blue- beard ' s wives, or watched the Flying Mystery, or saw the dancing Beneath the Silvery Stars , or listened to the piano recital in the Aud . The famous Hawkin ' s Huskies sold hot dogs in the center of the court, with Big Bill as their spieler. But the most popular of all the events was the dance. The Cafeteria was crowded from the first minute to the last, being besieged by a merry throng eager to take their turn on the floor. The circus proved that the Berkeley High spirit is with us as of old, and that it will never say die .

IN view of the fact that the third period was the only possible one in which to hold a rally, Yell Leader Nichelman and his assistant, Buddy Dustin, have made quite a success of the rallies this term. Each game, or athletic event, of the term has been helped by a rally when possible. For the most part, these rallies have consisted of the announcement of the event, and a few yells, although at some of the rallies Coaches Morgan and Hunt and the captains have made short and effective talks. In the State Track Meet rally, each of the six men who went south, got up and said a few words. That same afternoon, when they left West Berkeley Station they were given a fine send-off, with about one hundred and fifty students, girls as well as boys and the band, down there to see them off. Each of the men was given six big ones ' the biggest you got , and while the band played Hail, Berkeley High, and Nichel- man led the crowd in a big Rouse ' em, the train pulled out, and thus the best rally of the term came to an end. Yell Leader Nichelman and Assistant Yell Leader Dustin certainly deserve a lot of credit for the work they have done to make the rallies perform their function.
